building projects and practicing hands-on is the key point. I am an Azure Certified Admin (az-104), studied and passed only using brain dumps. Now even tho I am certified, I have very little actual knowledge about these services which I now need to catch up to... Btw, as a DevOps Consultant, I can tell you it almost doesn't matter which provider out of the big 3 you pick, as the core concepts dont differ very much, they just use different names and have their unique quirks here and there, but overall any of these 3 give you the universal skills to work with any provider.
@@nixuzumki5150 here in germany prob differs a lot from US (or wherever you're at), at our consulting company you'll start off as a junior at around 50k €, a few years of experience and a handfull of successful projects can get you around 60-70 and seniors are at 80-90 or above and some lead consultant positions earn about 110k or more. So thats the rough progression here. I might switch to a non-consulting business at some point, can easily earn about 20-30% more at each level. But you'll learn so much in consulting that I think its worth it
Learning to code IS A MUST. I cant emphasize this enough. I have been in the industry for more than decade and the past 4 years I've been a DevOps consultant with a strong specialization in Cloud Engineering. I've seen so many admins from junior to senior that know systems very well but struggle so much with Infrastructure as Code and Automation (which are indispensable!) just because they don't know what a variable or loop is. There are no more manual operations, everything is source code! Learn to code today, you will thank me tomorrow. Good luck 👍
@@altamashprimeI hear python recommended a lot. I’m also a person with non technical background, and I’m currently teaching myself python, it seems pretty straightforward.
@@hudaali1444 So are learning specifically to be a python developer or to get in some other field which uses Python like Data Analyst or something? Asking cause I'm really confused about what should I learn and what not 😅
Great video. I believe the fact you had prior experience in software and devsecops engineering between 2015-2020 set the proper groundwork for you to transition over to cloud engineering. This is not a discouragement to anyone, without a technical background, to get into cloud engineering. But you must be willing to put in the work to get there. It won't take the average person 3 months but it will take time.
Thank you for this video Soleyman. 3 mos is a realistic timeframe for people who had tech background in your case you were a front end/back end developer and you leveraged it in your application. However, for people without tech background this is not a realistic time frame. Its gonna be longer than that. Please include this as a disclaimer to those who doesn't have tech background so that it won't give them false hopes, thank you.
Yup. I've noticed that too. A simple linkedin search would show his prior experience as a software and devsecops engineer between 2015-2020 would let people recognize that.
@@techwithsoleyman Do you have eyebrow makeup tutorial? Are you using extension or those are natural real eyebrows? Amazing how they're so pointy and long.
You already had fundamental knowledge with a degree but still doesn't justify the video that you an learn everything in just 3 months. It's virtually impossible to be proficient esp in a programming language. Starting from Zero to Cloud Engineer is what is misleading and flat out lying. The OP of the video know he's Bullshitn people so he can get views. It took me three years to become Red Hat Linux Admin myself as it took me a couple years to understand Bash scripting. I'm still learning Python right now which takes at least a couple of years.
thank you thank you so much. im already an IT, undergrad, struggling with job opportunities, always stuck in junior roles, and this video really is going to help me upgrade. thank you so much
I’ve been trying to figure out which beginner projects to do in addition to certifications, thanks for the advice! Definitely checking out the cloud resume challenge.
I like the way you broke it down especially the fundamentals like networking , databases, operating system and virtualization. If I may ask where can one learn these fundamentals and how long can it take to learn it before moving to AWS OR GCP OR AZURE
i am switching career (Fibre optic Splicer) and will be start my journey into becoming a Cloud Engineer your video was very informative and i will continue to watch to progress my skills thank you for your recommendations, i do not have any prior knowledge in programming or cloud but i do know my way around a computer wish me luck!
I wouldn’t take his timeline serious. If you have never coded or don’t IT then I’d spend a month to learn python, Linux/bash, networking (you may know that though, getting net+ is nice but not needed). If you aren’t a “power user” then doing an A+ course (you don’t need to bother with the cert) could help. If you could put 20 hours a week in then you could get good enough in 6-8 weeks. Then do the AWS 12 week free program and get your CCP and start working toward SAA. Get AZ-900 (it takes a day or two) and AZ-104 or GCP ACE (they have a good program for people with AWS knowledge). Keep learning Python and bash while doing this. You could get them in 4 months safely. Then start using your Python skills along with networking, Linux, and basic security knowledge to do some cool cloud projects. Also, start learning more terraform and work toward getting certified in it. After that you could get a 120k+ job easy with a good resume setup. I’d learn more DevOps, data analytics/engineering, cloud security. Once you get your SAP or GCP PSE, DevOps or data eng cert (idk as much about azure, I think AZ-204 is the next one similar to PSE). Keep learning good Python and bash skills, especially automation skills. With these certs you could get $250k especially if you have 6+ months experience at your previous job in the cloud. At this point focus on a single platform dev position, data engineering, or DevSecOps/security engineering. If you get your CCNP then you could do cloud network engineering/NetOps. You can easily do over-employment with remote work. My mentor has a base job (J1) of 300k+ and several jobs (just hit J5 all remote) that are mainly in DevSecOps and security/audit/IAM. If you get good with automation, scripting, and IaC then you can get two jobs after a few months experience to do onboarding and organize your workflow.
Great story, Soleyman, I'm happy this risky move paid off for you! How much did your background in tech architecture and front end helped you better understand in the materials you were studying?
What a person does under any title depends on the company they work for. Some people have a title of Systems Engineer , now that can mean many different things at different companies. If you are happy , and making more money than you did prevously, who cares as long as you are on a technical journey that is rewarding and interesting. It happens , I worked in silicon valley for 30 years and titles were not always set in stone , they can be as fluid as an ocean wave...happy surfing...
@@sligon00 It can be misleading to others on what a "Real" Cloud Engineer does. I know 3 months may sound unrealistic unless the role is very specialized but lets be realistic. Generally you need a strong sysadmin background with some knowledge of shell scripting such as Bash, PowerShell or Python, basic knowledge of sever administration skills esp Linux, DevOps Automation tools such as Ansible or Terraform and familiar with at least one of the big cloud platforms, fundamental knowledge of Networking, VLANs, Databases, Storage and Security. That takes a significant about of time to learn those skills, let alone learning a shell scripting language. It takes a at least a couple of years to real be proficient in at least one scripting language. I'm a Red Hat Linux Admin myself, it took some time to really master Bash Scripting. I'm still learning Python since Ansible relies heavily on it. These so called 3 month training videos can be misleading. Not everything maybe true of what they are really telling you that maybe hiding something.
@@beats4life971 not possible. I bet you never learned any shell script programming because that's required which takes time to master. You need to know at last Bash Scripting, Powershell or Python.
Good advice, but when did you get the cloud job? during the pandemic when companies were overhiring personnel? because that makes a huge difference compared with the current hiring process...
Bingo! I did the cloud resume and several interviewers just blew passed it. Best thing to do right now is just learn Kubernetes and some good coding, if you can get certified you’re golden.
@@redmonkeyundies That's the goal. When all AWS RUclipsr expert get their Cloud jobs the companies bring down the requisites due to the huge vacancy and high demand for all the remote job openings.

Cloud Engineer and it takes years to learn a programming language along with DevOps Automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, SaltStack, Puppet or Chef. The OP if the video is misleading people that you can do all this in three months and he knows it. It's all bullshit. I work as a Systems Administrator and you even have to know a hell of a lot of technologies to be a sysadmin too. It took me three year's.
😡In three months; yet the fact that you were already working in a tech company is already an advantage mean you weren’t just a zero in tech matters. Don’t be deceiving people okay. You were already in tech and therefore you were just switching from one area to another.
@@techwithsoleymanplease make a video for those who have zero or No knowledge in IT background or programming language. Please tell us the Initial prerequisites to learn before starting the journey of cloud
Thank you for your clear information about this subject. I am at a point want to come over to the Tech world and this was very helpfull. But I heard you were al in this world en this is a level up for you, what kind of advice do you have for a very new and not known in this world? Don't know where to start!!
Take it from me. Get your BSCS or even a MS with a cloud track at the least. Degrees with always win. It won’t heart to get a cert but definitely get your degree
Doing a software engineering bootcamp and net+ or ideally CCNA and sec+ (or similar security cert) which is about 6 months to get or less if you do AP CS, stats, and an A+ and Cisco academy in high school to get a solid background then dive into AWS and get your CCP and SAA, splunk, terraform and Linux admin/bash scripting certs which would take 3-4 months or so then in less a year you could be a cloud architect or engineer making 120k easy. 6 months of experience and getting AWS SAP, AZ-900/104 (maybe 204), and GCP ACE and then either choosing cloud networking eng/netops (get a CCNP) plus the appropriate speciality certs in the big platforms; data engineering (you could do a bootcamp to make it quick) and GCP DE and AWS data analytics and adv splunk; or go the DevOps route with kubernetes, docket, gitops, and appropriate DevOps cloud engineer certs; or the security engineering and DevSecOps specialty route then you’re making 200-250k. Somebody could get 80-100k 6 months after HS in software dev or networking or security analyst roles while studying for basic certs then be doing 120-150k for 6 months while they get specialty certs means in the 18-24 months after HS they could spend 10-20k in bootcamps, make 80-150k in this time frame and be making 250k+ at the end of it. At that point they could get a remote job easily and get their degree if they really wanted to.
Can you show us your CV? I am trying to get into the cloud field. I majored in Networks (Information engineering tech) and currently work as a network tech support for 1 year. However, i dont feel i have enough tools to be confident in that field and i dont really want to. Cloud and security both seem interesting to me along with AI but i am being overwhelmed on where to start. So, i am trying to have a look on someone's resume in the field to see what are the common important tools to learn. Thanks btw for the helpful vid :D

I'm a backend developer with Node.js, JS, Java, and some Python as well, for a couple of years but sometimes I feel lost what to study I need to study this, I know DB firebase closd google, and mongdb but that'´s not enough for me, I like this I do it from now but first have to finish a web page now, I like your video that give me so comfort, keep it up friend.
Do you mind sharing the compensation you were offered for your current cloud engineer? I'm just curious because since you're trasitioning from another domain/tech area, would you be compensated equally wrt the experience of similar cloud engineers or is it different? Thanks
I work as a Salesforce Developer here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I switched from Java to it and although Salesforce is growing, I am not very motivated for this stack I currently work. I've been to projects using AWS and sending data to Salesforce and I was so interested to learn Cloud. My biggest concern is the salary gap if I switch to Cloud, but maybe it won't be so harmful. Thanks for your video!
Hey I was just curious about your comment .. being based in Rio, yet working in tech .. where you are able to remotely take on work from multi national companies etc .. where your skill set matches or exceeds someone based in N America or Europe etc .. are you able to earn similar compensation as those in same roles but based in western countries? I've gone from service desk to application support to scripts/dba/sql work and now as a cloud engineer so my wage grew naturally therefore unable to comment on your ?

Please answer this question of mine. as i am seeing this video in October 2024 and it is 1 year old video, do you think this roadmap is still going to work?
Thank you for the valuable information. I am 66 years old and was in computing in the past. However, due to life circumstances I have been out of computing since 2010. How realistic is it for me to put effort in learning about cloud computing and obtaining work in the field? I'd appreciate an answer.
I have taken CCNA CCNP MCSA AND PALOALTO... Should i need to take AWS/AZURE Guys, anyone suggest me... Which job would i get after completion of this combined courses...
Thank for sharing your experience. I’m an IT administrator who works with network, firewall, backup, hard and software troubleshooting and user support. However I want to jump into cloud computing and engineering. Currently preparing for AZ-900 fundamentals and almost ready for the exam. Do you think my previous knowledge of IT will help me become a cloud engineer fast? I don’t know how to code tho. That might cause a problem, right?
At least you have prior I.T experience unlike everyone else is going to have a steep learning curve and a tough time getting a job that never worked in I.T before because most cloud roles are mid to senior level rols not beginners. Your skill sets would align more with as a "Cloud" Network Engineer. You don't necessarily have to be a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer as there are far more roles and specialities than a Cloud Engineer as you have Site Reliability Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Cloud Developer, Solutions Architect, Security etc. Azure already has an Azure Network Network speciality so does AWS.
Damn I just passed AWS CCP a few days ago after 5 days of study time and I’m getting overwhelmed with SAA-C03. I get bored REALLY easily. Ive given myself 2 1/2 weeks to take the SAA C03 and I am starting to think its not enough time. Its not just the conceptual memorization of different storages types or the gritty details about pricing for different features in RDS or S3. Its also putting in real lab time. I really do not want to spend 3 months studying while working a full time job 😢
Amazing! Though is it realistic if you don't already have a tech background? I'm considering starting my Cloud journey in Azure but wonder if it will be difficult to find a job after as I don't have a computing degree or technical experience... Will the certifications be enough? Has anyone done this that can offer any advice?
I totally get it-my life took a similar turn! I was working at Starbucks as a coffee cup washer when I decided to quit and pursue a career as a cardiologist. The Starbucks owner liked me so much that he let me hang around, use the internet, and even gave me free coffee! After just two months of studying free resources on TikTok, I was almost ready to take the cardiologist exam. But I got bored because it was way too easy. So, I decided to really challenge myself and become a cardiologist in China instead. Despite being totally deaf and legally blind, I learned Chinese and passed the Chinese cardiologist exam in less than five weeks. I'm boarding the plane now and scheduled for my first operation on Monday. Wish me luck!
It’s not from zero way. You said you were a technical architecture. So you already knew a lot about IT. Somebody from another kind of job wouldn’t do that. Even in a year.

"Learn Networking, operating systems, virtualisation and databases first." -- What the f@k does that mean!? I can go from pretty much having a CS degree to just read Wikipages. Those four concepts are to wide that saying learn them means nothing.

As you told about was cloud resume. can I create responsive portfolio and follow same process to them too. there is chance for my portfolio to use API to retrieve some data somewhere to display in my website. can I do that ?
Amazing video... Thanks for the advice... However, i have a question.. do companies give job offer based on your previous experience + your cloud skills or they just consider you as a fresher in Cloud? In other words, do you get entry level salary for moving to Cloud if you already have years of IT experience?
Appreciated your advice, but learning within 3 months is impossible if you talk about network, operating system, virtualization and database. Instead of saying 3 months, why don't you say 4 weeks? Exaggerated.

The OP if the video is misleading people that you can do all this in three months and he knows it. It's all bullshit. I work as a Systems Administrator and you even have to know a hell of a lot of technologies to be a sysadmin too. It took me three year's.
Thanks for sharing and all the best with your career adventure.
😡In three months; yet the fact that you were already working in a tech company is already an advantage mean you weren’t just a zero in tech matters.
Don’t be deceiving people okay. You were already in tech and therefore you were just switching from one area to another.
😭
I can teach anyone from zero to cloud engineer in 3 months. Working in tech is an advantage but switching to a new area isn’t easy.
@@techwithsoleymanplease make a video for those who have zero or No knowledge in IT background or programming language. Please tell us the Initial prerequisites to learn before starting the journey of cloud
Thank you for your clear information about this subject. I am at a point want to come over to the Tech world and this was very helpfull. But I heard you were al in this world en this is a level up for you, what kind of advice do you have for a very new and not known in this world? Don't know where to start!!
Take it from me. Get your BSCS or even a MS with a cloud track at the least. Degrees with always win. It won’t heart to get a cert but definitely get your degree
Waste of time
BS at the most. I would not go for MS until you have experience first.
Doing a software engineering bootcamp and net+ or ideally CCNA and sec+ (or similar security cert) which is about 6 months to get or less if you do AP CS, stats, and an A+ and Cisco academy in high school to get a solid background then dive into AWS and get your CCP and SAA, splunk, terraform and Linux admin/bash scripting certs which would take 3-4 months or so then in less a year you could be a cloud architect or engineer making 120k easy.
6 months of experience and getting AWS SAP, AZ-900/104 (maybe 204), and GCP ACE and then either choosing cloud networking eng/netops (get a CCNP) plus the appropriate speciality certs in the big platforms; data engineering (you could do a bootcamp to make it quick) and GCP DE and AWS data analytics and adv splunk; or go the DevOps route with kubernetes, docket, gitops, and appropriate DevOps cloud engineer certs; or the security engineering and DevSecOps specialty route then you’re making 200-250k.
Somebody could get 80-100k 6 months after HS in software dev or networking or security analyst roles while studying for basic certs then be doing 120-150k for 6 months while they get specialty certs means in the 18-24 months after HS they could spend 10-20k in bootcamps, make 80-150k in this time frame and be making 250k+ at the end of it.
At that point they could get a remote job easily and get their degree if they really wanted to.
This is just wonderful!
¡Thanks a lot for this video!
you got a new subscriber. i follow you from my another G acc right from your first early videos.
Can you show us your CV? I am trying to get into the cloud field. I majored in Networks (Information engineering tech) and currently work as a network tech support for 1 year. However, i dont feel i have enough tools to be confident in that field and i dont really want to. Cloud and security both seem interesting to me along with AI but i am being overwhelmed on where to start.
So, i am trying to have a look on someone's resume in the field to see what are the common important tools to learn.
Thanks btw for the helpful vid :D
Great video
Thanks!
I actually see this video 3 months after the upload 😂
I hope I can get the 12 weeks free 😢
Exactly like me
hey its has been three months are you working in the cloud now?
@@favouronwuchekwa hahahahhaahahaha
I'm watching this 5 months after it was uploaded. Is the free bootcamp still available?
Let me tell u i am Working as SoftDev Later My company Decided to Integrate Az DevOps Which i Volunteered And did it When i was Working on CI CD part that is A Point where i learn about architecture like
1.Config VM for Application Hosting
2. apply Network Security
3. selection of Be Server OS
Etc etc Now I can Deploy Whole VM with Application hosting
Pending part is VPC And Infrastructure as a Service Part Ehich wil ldo on coming Days
i hope to understand this one day in english
If I could quit my 9-5 this would be cake
Well yeah I was thinking in this last week ago AWS, practioner certificate but most understanding how does works. I'm a backend developer with Node.js, JS, Java, and some Python as well, for a couple of years but sometimes I feel lost what to study I need to study this, I know DB firebase closd google, and mongdb but that'´s not enough for me, I like this I do it from now but first have to finish a web page now, I like your video that give me so comfort, keep it up friend.
Thank you!
I'm also looking for a career switch from non-IT to IT and I'm looking for the same route as yours, I need your help to complete my journey.
Check out the links in my video description
Same here dear
Do you mind sharing the compensation you were offered for your current cloud engineer? I'm just curious because since you're trasitioning from another domain/tech area, would you be compensated equally wrt the experience of similar cloud engineers or is it different? Thanks
Just Google it and you'll get the gist
130k
I work as a Salesforce Developer here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I switched from Java to it and although Salesforce is growing, I am not very motivated for this stack I currently work.
I've been to projects using AWS and sending data to Salesforce and I was so interested to learn Cloud.
My biggest concern is the salary gap if I switch to Cloud, but maybe it won't be so harmful.
Thanks for your video!
Is salesforce career not worth it in 2024?
@@krisdavis4820 pays well but I, personally, don't like it.
Hey I was just curious about your comment .. being based in Rio, yet working in tech .. where you are able to remotely take on work from multi national companies etc .. where your skill set matches or exceeds someone based in N America or Europe etc .. are you able to earn similar compensation as those in same roles but based in western countries? I've gone from service desk to application support to scripts/dba/sql work and now as a cloud engineer so my wage grew naturally therefore unable to comment on your ?
@@krisdavis4820bananas right?! lol
Hey bro, Is switching careers to salesforce a good idea now? I'm working as an oracle retail consultant and I want to switch to salesforce? is it a good idea?
Thanks for sharing your experience .
In your opinion, between the two programming languages Python and Golang, which one is better in the job as a cloud engineer?
Thanks
Thanks for watching. I recommend Python
This gave me confidence to behin..are we still getting the roadmap ? Subscribed to newsletter
Great insights
Please answer this question of mine. as i am seeing this video in October 2024 and it is 1 year old video, do you think this roadmap is still going to work?
Thank you for the valuable information. I am 66 years old and was in computing in the past. However, due to life circumstances I have been out of computing since 2010. How realistic is it for me to put effort in learning about cloud computing and obtaining work in the field? I'd appreciate an answer.
I would like to know on e I got my hands on experience, how to reflect it on my resume? Your advice will be very helpful!
Great videos🎉🎉🎉
I have taken CCNA CCNP MCSA AND PALOALTO...
Should i need to take AWS/AZURE
Guys, anyone suggest me...
Which job would i get after completion of this combined courses...
Thank for sharing your experience. I’m an IT administrator who works with network, firewall, backup, hard and software troubleshooting and user support. However I want to jump into cloud computing and engineering. Currently preparing for AZ-900 fundamentals and almost ready for the exam. Do you think my previous knowledge of IT will help me become a cloud engineer fast? I don’t know how to code tho. That might cause a problem, right?
Good
At least you have prior I.T experience unlike everyone else is going to have a steep learning curve and a tough time getting a job that never worked in I.T before because most cloud roles are mid to senior level rols not beginners. Your skill sets would align more with as a "Cloud" Network Engineer. You don't necessarily have to be a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer as there are far more roles and specialities than a Cloud Engineer as you have Site Reliability Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Cloud Developer, Solutions Architect, Security etc. Azure already has an Azure Network Network speciality so does AWS.
Damn I just passed AWS CCP a few days ago after 5 days of study time and I’m getting overwhelmed with SAA-C03. I get bored REALLY easily. Ive given myself 2 1/2 weeks to take the SAA C03 and I am starting to think its not enough time. Its not just the conceptual memorization of different storages types or the gritty details about pricing for different features in RDS or S3. Its also putting in real lab time. I really do not want to spend 3 months studying while working a full time job 😢
Very nice explained
Amazing! Though is it realistic if you don't already have a tech background? I'm considering starting my Cloud journey in Azure but wonder if it will be difficult to find a job after as I don't have a computing degree or technical experience... Will the certifications be enough? Has anyone done this that can offer any advice?
Certs wont be enough you need to build projects. I recommend the AWS route
@@techwithsoleyman thanks for your advice!
What about the fundamentals? They are not just concepts so how in depth and where di you find the material?
I totally get it-my life took a similar turn! I was working at Starbucks as a coffee cup washer when I decided to quit and pursue a career as a cardiologist. The Starbucks owner liked me so much that he let me hang around, use the internet, and even gave me free coffee! After just two months of studying free resources on TikTok, I was almost ready to take the cardiologist exam. But I got bored because it was way too easy. So, I decided to really challenge myself and become a cardiologist in China instead. Despite being totally deaf and legally blind, I learned Chinese and passed the Chinese cardiologist exam in less than five weeks. I'm boarding the plane now and scheduled for my first operation on Monday. Wish me luck!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sir to be honest u have already learnt many things so don't fool people for an views
great share
Thanks
3 months full time...
learn bash and python a bit
use terraform to build prjects
Notes for self
3:05 Topics to learn in AWS
It’s not from zero way. You said you were a technical architecture. So you already knew a lot about IT. Somebody from another kind of job wouldn’t do that. Even in a year.
Funny how everyone wants to make money but selling very basic courses.
What course baby
Hi Mr. Sleyman! Could you please share your learning plan? Thanks!
I"ve been saving money for a new laptop and have been a mac user for 10+ years. I was wondering if you have any advice on which laptop is the best for cloud engineering as I know having a apple OS can have it's limitations and I'm wondering if you advise having a windows laptop and if you do, which one?
"Learn Networking, operating systems, virtualisation and databases first." -- What the f@k does that mean!? I can go from pretty much having a CS degree to just read Wikipages. Those four concepts are to wide that saying learn them means nothing.
3:19 😂 yes, agreed
I keep scratching my head over this, I don't know what to approach those core technologies... Someone help
You didn't really start at 0...
Hi Soleyman, your videos really helpful keep doing and I am also learning was cloud as a part of my cloud practitioner exam. As you told about was cloud resume. can I create responsive portfolio and follow same process to them too. there is chance for my portfolio to use API to retrieve some data somewhere to display in my website. can I do that ?
Yes you can but use cloud tools and technologies to deploy your resume
Whats your recommend to as a fresh Graduate from non coding background ??😊
Hey where did you go for the projects you mentioned in the video
for the core cloud concepts, what are the best resources to learn the 4 concepts?
Did you ever find out?
Amazing video... Thanks for the advice... However, i have a question.. do companies give job offer based on your previous experience + your cloud skills or they just consider you as a fresher in Cloud? In other words, do you get entry level salary for moving to Cloud if you already have years of IT experience?
No aws fresher job available in India.
yeah bro, Hard to digest 😭😭
where is the link to cloud resume challenge that you promised to add ?
Appreciated your advice, but learning within 3 months is impossible if you talk about network, operating system, virtualization and database. Instead of saying 3 months, why don't you say 4 weeks? Exaggerated.
May i ask how do you build your projects without being in cloud engineering role first?
Bro could you tell how to document projects in each step and how to show case it into resume
Hello tech with Soleyman. I'm very amazed about your experience and insight sharing about Cloud Engineer. I'm currently starting up my career into cloud Engineer, can you be my mentor through my journey?
hey i am a first year cs undergrad i started the aws cloud technical essentials course in the summer. how would you rate my starting of gaining knowledge of cloud computing, improving my profile/resume and maybe becoming a cloud Practitionerm in the future.
Thankyou for making this Video, can you suggest some good resources to learn networking, virtualization, database and networking.
Will upload soon
@techwithsoleyman , could you please share the best understanding resources for networking, virtualization, database, etc * comment in 2024* pls its highly help ful if u do so, thanks in advance
im a product owner with no tech background, now i need to learn cloud azure and get some job offers in big companies, what is your suggestion?
Hey Soleyman, I hope you're doing alright. Do you think you need a diploma to become a Cloud Engineer?
Did you say you left a link on Twitter for people who have embarked on cloud ? Cam I have the link pls
Can you make video on clouds projects for resume?
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
Can anyone recommend which RUclips video we should watch to learn all the core technologies?
Good content
Thanks
Nice video please where can i learn AWS IAM authentication and authorizaton
If I hear that snap sound one more time…
Lol
If I have no experience in the tech industry, should my first step be getting the COMPTIA trifecta?
No
@@techwithsoleyman Is it simply not required and you can learn everything you need to know through cloud courses? Also I appreciate you responding. I've been wasting a lot of time wondering what to start studying first lol
Hi there, great video. What do you recommend someone like me do to get into this line of work? I am a Business Management graduate with no tech or computers background what so ever. I don’t see myself growing in my current field and I really want to get into tech.
