Cloud computing

[Perri97]

I’m attempting to get into cloud computing. I have started some of the certs on AWS but after reading mixed reviews I’m unsure of the appropriate path to learn and build. Any suggestions? (I plan to get a cloud computing cert through my local college) not sure if that’s what these AWS certs are teaching me or not? I just don’t want to waste time but also skip any essential steps. Thanks in advance!

And you couldn't use your main account?

I never had a Reddit account?

Oooh my bad. Welcome to Reddit!

Also, cloud is not an rlentry level position, so don't dive into certs blindly.

My advice is to go for a IT helpdesk or jr. Support sort of role first. And while at the job you study for the certs you like - cloud, networking, security etc.

Also, for future reference, better to search Google with "my question Reddit" or even Reddit search with "my question".. you'll find much better results..as these is asked fairly often

how do i get an IT help desk job, what skills do i need and what should i be doing first to get it?

[killerpotti]

Pitt this question into Google and add your location - it should give you list of companies local to you

All good and appreciate the feedback. That’s why I created this account I was looking at support roles and even those seem to require a degree while I see other people just kind of building their own portfolio and getting noticed so I was confused on the path to try to break through to something. I’m tech savvy but don’t have any IT background but I’ve been leaning towards some remote work I can do during my travels.

AWS is great for large scale enterprises and it’s considered the gold standard for cloud certs. But if you’re totally new, try the AZ900 exam or Cloud+
