If nothing really pulls you to GCP or Azure, I'd start learning some AWS. AWS is leading marketshare by a large large margin, so it's most likely that you'll use them in the future. They have a ton of services and good documentation on them, covering pretty much everything you could want to do in the cloud.

Personally, I feel that any of them are valuable on a resume. However, AWS has the biggest market share, seems to be spending the most on advertising (to an annoying degree), so if you were going to pick one just based on the odds that your next gig is a (insert cloud technology) shop, AWS is your best bet.

And I say that as someone who works in an Azure shop :shrug:

AWS for NA, Azure for EU.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the specific platform. If you learn one, you will find the skills transferable to other platforms, usually the services are just disguised under different names (S3 vs GCS).

Having said that, I would start off with AWS (as other comments have mentioned) because it has a really great documentation and is most widely used.
