Please keep making these videos. I haven't found a single RUclipsr that touches on the subjects you've touched. I love your content!
Thank you man!
Indeed !! Very useful videos. Please keep them coming.
This is what I've been needing, I was trying to figure out the next step for me now, after graduating in 2018, and having 3 years in security, I was looking at what's my next step... Thanks for making this.
Glad it could help!
Thank you Andrew! This was very informative and super encouraging. I seriously appreciate the advice.
You’re welcome Jesse I appreciate you watching and giving feedback!
This is (one of) the best advice I've seen on RUclips. Once again Andrew delivers. His recommendations are in line with mine.
Thanks Ken!
Thats such a great information man. Please dont stop making videos on Cloud security topic. Loved your content. Thanks a lot :)
Thank you.
This is an awesome video man, I’m in the crowd of people who would like to see you give a more in depth technical video.
Seriously appreciate it man! I'll be sure to put out more technical vids!
Sweet! Good to see that I am on the right learning path! Thanks for laying out the road!
Appreciate the feedback!! You got it!
Thanks a lot Andrew. You are a big inspiration to me !
Wow thank you so much.
Thanks Andrew for getting sorted my queries out in this video ❤️😀
Thanks for watching!
That really helped and I subscribed! 💪🏽
I’m glad, thank you!

Hello Andrew!
Great video. WGU have a great program in BS Cloud Computing. Since you have certs already, you can get credit for it. Look into it.
There's a lot of over-simplification here, but there's also a good overview in some areas. Some good advice. Thanks.
I had to explain it at a high-level but, my future video's will go over it in more detail. stay tuned.
Great Video Andrew! Any free or lesser expensive certifications for Cloud Security that you'd recommend?
yes the aws ones are always great for cloud.
Grt video. Thanks. And Have you subscribed the A cloud guru course and their labs?. What is your opinion on that and is it worth the money.!
It was for a few certifications I’ve taken but it is quite expensive and I think you can find the same content out there on other platforms.
Hi! Andrew! Thanks for the great knowledge. Can I being a Mechanical engineer learn this? If Yes, please let me know the brief journey how to start with. Thank you.
Hey Hifzaan I appreciate you watch but, I can't answer this question for you as I'm not a mechanical engineer
Very insightful video. I am looking for my next role to be a cloud security engineer. Do prefer AWS over Azure? I am currently pursuing Azure because that's what my current firm us using. What are your thoughts?
I personally prefer AWS as it is more intuitive from a developer perspective but, both have value.
Dear Andrew, I read a lot of blogs and material on the internet saying that we don't have to be in the IT field at all (basically not knowing any programming languages) to get started with Cloud Engineering because it has those languages built-in. I'm wondering, can I pursue Cloud Engineering (AWS is my choice) with no IT background at all? Thanks in advance!
I’m not sure what languages are built in. If they were talking about clicking around in the GUI then yes I guess that’s true but that’s also not what I would consider cloud engineering. I recommend learning a language
Hey this is Akshay from INDIA
Just completed Graduation in Computer science engineering
And got placement. In. Accenture Solutions as a Cloud Security 😍
#Thank you very much for this great Information and guidence
Hey Akshay! Great to hear you got a job, appreciate the kind words.
I'm currently a Network Engineer in a security focused role. I would like to transition to Cloud Security in the next 12-18 months. I have minimal programming skills, should I focus more energy on that or the Cloud Certs? I will be looking to get Az-900 and Az-500 in the next 3-6 months.
I think you should try to do both. I recommend ability to program at moderate proficiency with Python or nodejs and understand of at least one cloud platform.
I am doing the same. Currently a security analyst and looking for my next role to be cloud engineering. I just got AZ 900 and will be studying to get AZ 500. Also will be learning Python and Powershell this year
@@PlanetX369PowerShell or bash?
Hello Andrew, Do you think that I need the AWS Certified Arquitect to next obtain the AWS Cloud Security?
And another question, Do I need to have 5 year of experience to get the AWS Cloud Security?
I’m not sure of the pre-reqs for the security cert but I would say the more knowledge you can get the better!
After watching this video, I am starting to wonder if I should just skip the SA route, and go for the Developer Associate + Sysops Associate + Security Specialty?
I think SA is a perfect general cert to have
an advice as a friend: display the terms u speak onscreen using animation to make it more understandable
Great advice thank you.
Hi Andrew! Do you know a scripting course focus on security? Looking to automated my security assessment with no impact of course to the cloud services
I really recommend assessing your daily tasks and trying to automate one of those. I find that the best way to learn something is to have a goal you want to accomplish.
Seems like you mainly talked about certs and skill sets that are required to land a role in cloud security, but what about career paths?
How would someone without any working experience in cloud break into the field when majority of the job postings require 3+ years of experience?
I do talk about this in the video and would be happy to answer any follow-ups in the Discord!
They usually put 3+ to scare people away
Whether Leetcode easy or leetcode medium programs will be asked in this role interviews?
I am an automation engineer and do not have strong data structures knowledge. Do I need to learn ?
I have had interviews where I was asked to solve problems and others where I wasn't. I think it's very helpful to have a strong understanding of data structures for any engineering discipline!
Just in case Nodejs is a JavaScript runtime environment so you would have to learn JavaScript to program in node
node is different syntactically then pure JS but yeah you have to learn java script principles.
Which programing language bash and python are ok?
They have a ton of utility.
Are cloud security engineers paid equally as software engineers in general or it varies ?
It varies based on company
Do I need an aws solution architect to become aws cloud security?
no
you recommend i get a degree but what if i am already in school and want to become a cloud security engineer whilst still in school?
This will be hard due to time constraints.
Hello, thanks for amazing video.
I passed exam AWS Practitionier and AWS solution architect, but i dont have work experience in it. So what to do you think? it would be hard to pass aws security speciality exam without security work experience?
You should make a website out of some basic code. Then go into AWS build a project in there and write a blog about what you build into the website you made. If you really want to get technical run the website in AWS and write a blog on that lol
Yes I think it would be difficult to do that. I've heard the security specialty is one of the harder certs.
Interested in more technical videos .
Coming right up!
Do many cloud security engineer roles require US citizenship to get into the job ?
I am an immigrant on student visa . I want to know whether I have scope in this career path. It would be great if you help me with this question.
Hey sorry I'm not too sure of the answer here. I am a US citizen and I think many would require this but, am not totally sure.
Is getting off the help desk with this advice logical? Could you do DIL?
DIL meaning Directed Independent Learning? You can take some of the advice and apply it to anything. Although, helpdesk doesn't really need security, cloud exp, or programming with any sort of granularity.
@@AndrewRoe I'm trying to get out of help desk jobs I want to move up is this path useful? Meaning CCP>security +>python ? Can you do a Day in the life video?
@@rbgtech1663 yes that's what I said in the video haha. I could try one in the future!
Hello Andrew I want to be a cloud Engineer that also focus in cyber security so I guess cloud security engineer is that combination of both. I'm curious though, how's your workload?
I’m no longer in cloud security engineering but when I was I had a solid workload. Not too much but definitely not too little, I was solving a lot of fun problems
@@AndrewRoe thanks for the info, I'll keep watching your contents.
I am an web pentester . So my question is that what is difference between cloud security or cloud pentesting!
One (being cloud security) is creating security controls, infrastructure, and systems. Whereas the other (pentesting) is coming in and assessing those controls, infrastructural pieces, and systems.
Hello Andrew! if I am not good in programming, is it possible to be a Cloud security engineer ?
I would say it’s unlikely in most cases.
Is a cyber security degree a good way to become a cloud security engineer
I personally like the Computer science route but yes it helps.
Do you need a lot of programming to be a cloud security engineer?
I would recommend understanding at least 1
What degree I need for cloud security
Think that’s up for debate. I think a computer science degree is helpful.
Or a cyber security degree, depending on the type of work.
Hey Andrew, I really like your knowledgeable and driven presentation. I’m in a tech role and can choose between a cloud computing Security degree or a cyber security degree.
Which one is a more lucrative and promising future?
Which has a better job outlook/security?
Those two things are the same to me. Cyber Security involves cloud security.
I've been told I need to know Linux OS(centos) to become a cloud engineer or cloud security engineer. Anyone care to let me know how valid this is? While I'm sure learning a technology I'm unfamiliar with would be beneficial, I'm just not sure if it's a prerequisite for obtaining a cloud job.
I think learning Linux in general will be fine. Ubuntu is a great daily driver.
@@AndrewRoe is it a requirement for you to do your job? Were you asked about your Linux knowledge during interviews? Thanks for the reply!
@@timecircle8420 I personally think it’s assumed software engineers understand Linux as it’s the os that’s used most for servers. I personally use Ubuntu as my daily os or I use macOS and zsh. I would say it’s a requirement.
@@AndrewRoe awesome answer! Thank you!
@@timecircle8420 no worries good luck!
Being Cloud securuty , Do we need to learn networking and design
it definitely helps.
@@AndrewRoe what are the skills we need , if we need to speicif only cloud security
@@faizankhd programming, knowledge of cloud providers, and above all else, the ability to google.
Is linux of value?
extremely. I recommend using it as a daily driver to learn commands and general principles.
I don't agree with you.. Linux and networking should be the first thing to learn in security. especially in cloud security
Those are important for sure

In the thumbnail it seems like SimpliLearn couldn't simply spell "security". What's a "Securityt"?
"Security+RUclips" tutorial?
"Security Tutorial" tutorial?
😅
haha I'm not sure, big mistake on their end.
I guess that a lot of the effort I spent on learning cisco devices config. was a waste of time
I’m not familiar with that kind of stuff so I can’t really say.
@@AndrewRoe thanks a lot for your quick response Mr.Roe
Your bouncing mic is distracting as hell
cool cool
Where is your code? Your work? Only talking? RUclipsrs just want more views , they don’t have IT job
This video is only about my journey, if you want to see code, check out my other videos.
I am coming from a background with basically 0 knowledge but want to begin and eventually become a cloud sec. engineer. With 0 background, is this possible?
That's what I did. I was a carpenter/laborer before i became one.
@@AndrewRoe thanks for replying. Good to hear your background before you transitioned over. I’m hoping to start a career as an engineer soon but everything seems so daunting. Your videos have encouraged me to give it a go. I think throwing myself out there in this space will open a lot of doors. In the meantime, I’m trying to get a help desk position while building up my knowledge
Wow. So thorough
Thank you!
