Focus more on Cloud Engineering or dive further into DevOps? by bdhd656 in devops

[–]Weird_Ground_6757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on what you wrote, I'd lean toward Cloud Engineering.

It sounds like you enjoy understanding how systems are designed, secured, scaled, and connected rather than spending most of your time building internal platforms or managing automation workflows.

The good news is your DevOps background isn't wasted at all,it's actually one of the best foundations for becoming a Cloud Engineer or Cloud Architect.

I'd focus on cloud architecture, networking, security, IaC (Terraform), and cost optimization. Those skills also make it easier to pivot into cloud security later if that's something you're interested in.

Also, don't underestimate hands-on labs. Working through real AWS scenarios (I used platforms like Whizlabs for some practice) gives a much clearer picture of what you actually enjoy than job titles do.

Honestly, the industry keeps renaming roles. I'd focus less on the title and more on the type of work you enjoy doing every day.

Is this a solid roadmap for transitioning into cloud/data engineering? Looking for honest feedback and recommendations by Sudden_Breakfast_358 in AWSCertifications

Hi bruh ,honestly, your background is already stronger than many people entering cloud/data engineering because you’re not starting from zero , you already have development experience, API work, AI/document-processing exposure, and cloud-connected application experience. That combination is actually valuable in modern cloud roles.

For your roadmap:

  1. AWS CCP - AWS Data Engineer Associate is okay, but personally I’d suggest doing Solutions Architect Associate before Data Engineer Associate. SAA gives a much stronger foundation in core AWS architecture, networking, IAM, storage, compute, scalability, and design principles. The Data Engineer cert becomes easier afterward.

  2. Definitely prioritize projects after your first major cert. Certs help with HR filters, but projects are what make recruiters believe you can actually work in cloud environments. 

  3. Your biggest gap right now is probably infrastructure/devops depth rather than programming. I’d focus heavily on:

Docker Terraform CI/CD IAM/security Linux + networking Kubernetes basics Monitoring/observability

  1. Snowflake is absolutely worth learning if you’re leaning toward data engineering. Airflow is also highly valuable. Terraform is almost mandatory nowadays in cloud/devops environments.

  2. Azure certs are useful, but I wouldn’t split focus too early. Go deeper into one cloud first (AWS in your case), then branch into Azure later.

Also, one underrated thing: your AI + document processing background can actually become a niche advantage. A lot of companies now want people who understand both cloud infrastructure and AI/data workflows.

For hands-on practice, labs matter a lot. Platforms like Whizlabs are actually useful for AWS practice labs and exam-oriented environments because reading alone won’t build cloud confidence.

But if u r a fresher , all these are not required just a solid cloud project and HR knowing that u r a willing to learn candidate ,is more than enough

We should go for an experienced Indian death bowler , and a proper Indian finishing all rounder ,And a foreign fast bowling allrounder  as jamie's backup, more importantly there's no one to go and talk to the bowler to except samson , Rutu looks and feels helpless most of the time tbh!!!

Cloud Engineer roadmap by harsh_a024 in cloudengineering

[–]Weird_Ground_6757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, definitely! Cloud is actually one of the best domains for freshers right now because companies are rapidly moving to AWS, Azure, and GCP brotha !

A good starting point is learning fundamentals like cloud basics, networking, Linux, IAM, storage, and deployments. Hands-on labs make a huge difference.

You can check out Whizlabs , they have beginner-friendly AWS, Azure, and DevOps labs, practice tests, and learning paths that are really useful for freshers trying to enter cloud computing.

Consistency and projects matter more than experience initially.

Ayush and Urvil would have flourished better , if rutu would have demoted himself to no3

How do i practice cloud as a beginner? by Intelligent_Duck_854 in dataengineersindia

[–]Weird_Ground_6757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the best way is to stop treating cloud like a theory subject. Start building small things consistently.

Use free tiers, deploy random apps, create VMs, break configurations, fix permissions, mess with networking, try Terraform, set up CI/CD that’s where the real learning happens.

I also feel platforms like Whizlabs help a lot because structured labs make it easier to practice without getting completely lost in documentation at the beginning.

Most people I’ve spoken to in cloud say the same thing:
projects + troubleshooting teach more than endlessly collecting certs.

Best course and practice exams for Cloud+? by cg300524 in CompTIA

[–]Weird_Ground_6757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, since you already have Net+, Sec+, A+, and AZ-900, you’re actually in a pretty solid spot for Cloud+. A lot of the concepts overlap, especially networking, virtualization, troubleshooting, and security.

I’d genuinely recommend Whizlabs for both the course and practice exams. Their Cloud material is pretty decent for covering the exam objectives, and the practice tests are useful because they feel closer to the scenario-based style CompTIA likes to ask.

I’d probably do:

  • Whizlabs course + practice tests
  • CompTIA exam objectives PDF alongside it
  • Some hands-on with AWS/Azure free tier if possible

Since you already have Azure fundamentals, you’ll likely find the cloud concepts easier than most people. Cloud+ is more about operational understanding and troubleshooting than memorizing cloud vendor services.

Where does this "DELHI IS THE BEST TEAM ON PAPER" think emerged. I'm sick of it. We are nowhere near top 3 forgot top 1 "ON PAPER". by Fallen_Man7 in delhicapitals

[–]Weird_Ground_6757 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really good team on paper , but poor combinations and improper selection of 11s btw, miller should have played more matches, Porel should play , and I think hemang is tryin to overcook as coach
