Good networking certification for Software Engineers?

Hello,

my company asked me to find what certification would be the most appropriate to our needs. The purpose of this certification is to understand the main concept of networking. The certification should cover most of those topics (what are their purposes, how and when to implement them):

  • VPC
  • VPN
  • Interconnect
  • NAT
  • DNS
  • CIDR
  • IP Filter
  • Firewall

It's for a team of software engineers mostly working on data platforms and deploying softwares on the Cloud (only GCP and AWS). Most of them have very few knowledge of networking fundamentals. So far I found those certifications:

  • AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty
  • Azure Exam 98-366: Networking Fundamentals (exam not certif)
  • GCP Cloud Network Engineer
  • Cisco CCNA Certification 200-301
  • Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies
  • Jupiter JNCIA-Cloud
  • Aviatrix exam

My boss told me that he does not think Cisco is great for us because it's covering too much and it's low level. Any advices?
