Started my cloud journey a little over a week ago. Always been interested in tech, never worked in it. I am currently taking a course for aws cloud architect now. I can honestly say I've never been so excited to sit down and learn something new. I dropped out of college a couple years ago because I felt stifled by having to sit in a classroom and learn arbitrary subjects I don't care about and pay thousands to do so (I did go the community college route before doing so, so I saved thousands there). We'll see what the future holds
This is soo on point, thank youu. I'm new the industry and I've been inspired by you to dig deeper into Devops while learning on the job as a backend dev using TS & C#. Came from working as an amazon warehouse associate
Hi there! I saw your video recommendation on UA-cam. I have over 15 years of experience in IT operations work and some programming, mostly for game development. Now I'm interested in transitioning to cloud computing. I'm hoping your video will provide a good roadmap to help me get started in the cloud industry. Your recommendations seem really helpful. Thanks for putting together such an informative video!
Hello GPS. Thank you for the great video. This was really useful. I used to work in a different career as a paralegal, then recently was a Software Engineer, but now I’m trying to get into a role within cloud/devops. After attending a tech conference, I decided I really wanted to work in this field, and found your channel while researching. I was also one of the many people laid off at the company I was working for, so now I’m free to pursue my passion. Thank you for the amazing content so far. It has been really useful, informative and inspiring.
I'm currently in an AWS RE/START PROGRAM, and I love it. I just watched your video on how you would learn cloud engineer today, and I understood every break down you made based off what we are learning in the class.
04:00 this is so true. I live in Morocco and you couldn't even reach certain roles, especially engineering roles, if you didn't have a degree beforehand. I'm a computer science student on a cybersecurity internship but I have been getting more and more interested in cloud and devops, your channel is a gold mine of information!
Hey GPS, first thank you so much for the work and time you put to deliver to us all this content for free, 2nd, i am a self taught sys admin for the past 2+ decades. At the beginning of this year, i decided to shift into cybersecurity, and going deeper into it, i got convinced that i should specialize in cloud security, so what you are doing here is a great push for me, cant thank you enough, and 3rd you are so genuine and authentic in what you do, please keep it like that
Began my classes back in February, and I’ve felt confident about since then. This is so helpful and insightful, I’ve already watched through a few other videos as well!
This the raw honest reality and advice that we needed. GPS if you keep dropping quality content like this, you're well on your way to 100k subs within this year.
Hello GPS, thank you so much, your content has been very insightful. I am working on transitioning from a delivery manager to cloud engineering. Your content is really helping me in this journey.
Very comprehensive video , thank you gave me a better understanding , I am a recent graduate in IT but very confused , convinced to start with the help desk support role , lessense the overwhelming feeling of reading and being confused between multiple technologies mentioned on the internet
Such brilliant and useful info. Loved and instantly bought the diagram, will be a big poster in my room that :) I am at the very start of building a cloud career and currently in a bootcamp which I personally think we just scratch the surface and still there are big gaps but MY GOD you delivered it well, you literally answered thousands of current questions and potential thousands that I never thought of asking. You are brilliant, carry on!!!
Wow, you're super authentic. Loved the content. Thank you for all the hard work you put into it. I just finished my CS degree, and now I feel more confident going down this path for cloud engineering! Thanks again!
Thanks for this, very informative! Just finished a course in cybersecurity, trying to figure out where to study next, and started w/ Azure fundamentals.
I was learning data analytics and just stumbled upon cloud computing and wanted to know more about it. Your videos have given some really useful instructions. Thanks, GPS!
Thanks a lot for sharing this with us, Gwyneth, for real. I have been struggling with my possible paths, and having this whole overview really really helped me. Come to Brazil, i'll pay u a beer!
I'm brand new and loving your videos. Currently in the medical coding field and healthcare and hoping to break into IT. This is an extremely helpful resource, so thank you!!
The exact topic I was looking for and it was posted an hour ago hahaha how perfect! I am personally trying to figure out a decent paying job in tech with a very low barrier to entry that i can work at while I work on the longer road to getting into cloud. I was suggested to look into scrum master? I just need a decent salary to sustain me and will allow me to study for cloud. Do you have any recommendations for me? I have a medical background so no tech experience
Hey GPS thank you for another amazing segment on how to prepare and get into the cloud tech industry… excellent advice and resources which shows your dedication and work ethic… definitely taken all your advice on board, looking fwd to switching my job role & giving back to others on my journey. ❤️💻👊🏾
I’ve [Subscribed] ❤ Thanks 🙏 for making this video. Also the way you’re presenting yourself here is amazing! You keep things real and non of the jarring stuffs compared to other videos I’ve seen.
I have laid off last month when my wife had to labour. And now just starting my journey to apply some cloud and devops jobs. It's hard, but life must go on, right? haha
Thanks, Gwyneth this is very informative and great guidance to start. I have experience in the field I am looking to transition into data cloud. I am subscriber now your advice on learning bash is so amazing and valuable I am following your plans.
I currently work as cybersecurity engineer, want to transition into cloud security engineer role. Currently learning IAM in Azure & also want to take the AZ-500 exam.
Hi! first time viewer, just wanted to say that I love the content you put out, it's truly AMAZING! Quick question, would you consider someone within data analytics that deals with SQL, Excel, Tableau and some Python someone that has Cloud exposure? Just curious if maybe I may need to change route in order to follow your step-by-step plan. Thank you!
this is me and I would like to hear her feedback on this. However i am leaning more towards data engineer as I think that would be an easy entry and then later switch to a cloud aspect thats less coding and more provisioning and maintenance
Hey GPS, First off, I love your content. I am 30 and starting fresh in the IT field-no degree or boot camps. I come from a background in carpentry for the last several years. I also have plenty of customer service experience at a manager position prior to that. I know that I can relate aspects from those jobs into possibly landing a support position in IT, but I wanted to give myself a little more on my resume. I have been studying for the CompTIA A+ cert and will be ready for test 1 soon. Do you think that this cert is worth spending anymore time on to complete test 1 and then test 2? Or do you think it would be a more valuable use of time to go ahead and start applying for support jobs, and then studying for a cert that may be of more value while working in that new job?
“Don’t be annoying” 😅 got it! Lol Currently binging your content and loving it. Feeling inspired and motivated, taking my CCP next week. Just showing some love in the comments 💬♥️
Hey GPS! Great Video! I have a question though.... I have a degree in Computer Science and want to get into cloud. Should I still apply for the cloud exposure roles? Or do I follow the 6 month roadmap and apply to cloud jobs directly? And if I need to apply to an exposure role like a helpdesk role, how do I prepare a resume for that? Please note I do not have any work experience. Thank you! :)
Gracias Gwyneth esta es una guía muy útil y informativa, desde luego consumiré una buena parte de tus recursos. Y muchas gracias por los links, saludos !
Thanks for the great video! Gwyneth, when you mention a degree fulfilling the prerequisites stage, do you only mean in the area of computer science? Does a degree in any field of study count?
Thanks for this, I really appreciate it! Just starting this video, but this channel so far seems to give stuff to do instead of just amorphously Googling which I absolutely need. Specific to me - I’m a tech recruiter, so moving into help desk isn’t really workable for me bc that’s a huge pay cut, any tips for getting that pro experience needed for a company to take me seriously? Edit: looks like you covered this pretty well wow thanks!
I worked in Helpdesk until age 61 and got laid off. What can I do for the next five years without taking years to learn A TON of new skill sets? What can I add on top of my experience that would add value? Or, is the tech space too FULL off applicants as it now seems. I need something rare, needed, and quick to learn the new skill. Thanks.
Maybe you could do a video about certifications? I have been working my software analyst job for a while now but I still don’t get any exposure to cloud as I would like. Most of my colleagues recommend the az-900 but i’m actually not sure what a good route would be for DevOps.
i just got the interest in cloud
Please like, comment, sub, and share. Help me keep this stuff free :)

You are easily one of the better channels on YT for guidance when it comes to breaking into cloud. I appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Yes indeed. Most people in the US have never lived in a place where degrees are pretty much always required for many reasons. Thanks for the support!
Thanks for the info. I just got my first tech job as a tech support agent at a call center for Verizon Fios. Im excited to start.

You got this!
It's a no brainer to learn cloud computing. The issue with most people is the process of landing a job.
