Cloud careers and certifications

Plan a path into cloud roles.

📖 Key ideas

Entry certifications: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, Microsoft AZ-900, Google Cloud Digital Leader.
Associate level: AWS Solutions Architect Associate, AZ-104, Google Associate Cloud Engineer.
Roles: cloud engineer, DevOps engineer, solutions architect, cloud security engineer.
Hands-on labs and a deployed project matter more than certificates alone.
Learn Linux, networking, scripting and one provider deeply first.

💡 Real-life example: Like learning to drive: the licence (certificate) helps, but employers want to see you have actually driven on real roads.
