Great video! I fully second this statement : "A year from now or 6 months... you can be in your dream role". You are so spot on that you must be excited about solving problems to do this. And about to tutorial hell. To be clear I think it's totally ok to learn from tutorials but you should try to apply the skills from a tutorial to an original project before you move onto another tutorial.
And my additional advice would be to always try to take that same project to the next level with something that you learn from another source, like if they introduce you to a new library check out the documents for it and see if there are more functions or other ways to use it.
This video was very helpful. I am currently a network engineer in the dc area and i am looking to transition to the cloud engineer field. I am currently studying for the Microsoft azure fundamentals certification.
Great information and advice!!!! I have the AWS CCP, SAA, and the SAP certs. Just started on doing the cloud resume challenge and have been studying terraform also. Keep the vids coming
Graduating from AWS Re/Start and taking CCP exam in 2 weeks I'm very excited and nervous as well - as my 3 years help desk experience was several years ago. Great content!
I start the AWS re/start program on Monday. I think this is a better route, you get to network and build relationships with the company that's putting the program together and they help you find employment upon completion.
@@AndrewRoe I know absolutely nothing about cloud engineering, and wanna get started where should I look first? Free Certs online? Fafsa paid courses, or a 2 year college degree?
Docker, Ansible, Terraform, etc. How do I even practice these technologies with actual hands on experience? I am a firm believer that actual hands on experience is always better than theoretical learning/simulation.
find a problem and then solve it with these. Want cool build scripts when switching machines? Ansible. Want to build infrastructure as code for multi-cloud environments? Terraform. Want to host an application? Docker and throw it on AWS.
This video is so helpful bro, thanks once again for the great content. Please I would to get projects for terraform, docker in particular, if you have any. Would also check the repo.
I think they’re different things. Linux is an operating system and python is a programming language. But Linux has Bash which is a scripting language and it’s very useful
@@AndrewRoe great point and the idea of trying out different consule and playing with their interface, and seeing which platform better suits you as an individual is really a very good idea. Thanks again and I appreciate your response.
Powershell is practically a must in Azure. I've just recently done the Microsoft AZ-104 and AZ-500. Have to try and sharpen up on powershell now for automation.
Hi! Thanks for your video man! I have a question... I'm sociologist who is interest in get into the cloud services, I already have the AZ 900 certification and now I'm doing the Az 500 certification course... but as I said, I studied sociology and I know that on IT jobs sometimes doesn't matter your degree, but I want to know if you see on the cloud services spaces for sociologist ... I mean do the clouds vendors need us? I hope were understandable cuz I'm mexican and this is my second language. Thanks again!
Hey! I think getting into cloud is doable by both people with degrees and without. I don't think you have a degree in Sociology will hold you back as long as you continue to pursue certifications and build projects on Github! Hope that answered your question.
I have a video on this but first just go on AWS and poke around the console and get setup. Try to figure out if you want to be more operations or engineering, then join the discord in the description and talk to others on the same path.
This advice is horrible. People obsess about the technologies, but don't want to learn the actual useful information to make you a good cloud engineer.
Appreciate all the feedback and support!! Join the Discord to continue the discussion.

Thanks for the tips! Gotta put more time into Python if I want a chance at getting a job lol
Hands on is key!
Yeah python is a great language for cloud.
Bro its so hard to find an Entry level cloud Position that doesn't require years of production experience, How can you navigate through this ??
Make content, build cool projects in the public on Github, and have your own website.
@@AndrewRoe how would you go about planning out projects and making those public for reference.
@@AndrewRoe I know absolutely nothing about cloud engineering, and wanna get started where should I look first? Free Certs online? Fafsa paid courses, or a 2 year college degree?
@@joelominator7752 If you're confused about what route to take I definitely wouldn't discount college.
@@joelominator7752 I plan them in Notion and then I build them publicly on Github.
Great video
thank you!
great practical advice. I'm liking your videos.. very to the point! Big help
Glad they’re helping!

Thank you! No projects yet but keep an eye on my GitHub and I’ll upload my docker configs I use normally
Amazing content! Some say Linux is more useful for Cloud engineering than Python. I wonder what you take is on that, thanks.

You are so handsome O.o it took half a minute to realize that i was mesmerized and forgot to listen what you were saying lool
Hahaha thank you
Can cloud engineer work as a DevOps engineer and vice versa?
I think so, granted that they're both cloud environments. The processes are a bit different though

@@JorgeHernandez-kl7hk no worries man you got this
Thanks Andrew.
Hope it helped!
But why not Java?
so Typescript is being used in the cloud now? is it with the SDK?
Typescript was the first language supported by the AWS CDK.
if you choose AZURE , do you need linux? also python because they work on windows.Actually i love linux but i go for azure any help?
Yes Azure has Linux servers.
Hello, Great video, but I could not find the Python video?
good call out! I just added it to the description and here it is ua-cam.com/video/rfscVS0vtbw/v-deo.html&ab_channel=freeCodeCamp.org
Coming from law enforcement field, I’m confused on which steps I should take to start in cloud ☁️ 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏽♂️? Can someone help please 🤷🏾♂️👏🏾?

No entry level position for cloud usually company hire someone who are already experienced
I was hired without experience. I understand it's tough but these positions do exist.
This advice is horrible. People obsess about the technologies, but don't want to learn the actual useful information to make you a good cloud engineer.
i say that in the video.
great video
Thank you!
