I am new to cloud and before watching this video, I was lost. I thought doing some certifications would land me a job. But this is it, this is the path, a road map to success. Thank you Joe.

TLDR:
💻 Learning basic IT fundamentals such as DNS, HTTP, OSI model is crucial to work in the cloud
🐧 Learning Linux operating system and its administration is important as most cloud environments run on Linux
🐳 Learning Docker and containerization is essential for deployment and scaling of applications in the cloud
🐍 Learning Python programming language is important for cloud automation and hitting SDKs to pull down information
☁ Learning AWS fundamentals is important for understanding cloud infrastructure and how it works
🤖 Learning DevOps tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and GitLab CI is important for automation and infrastructure as code practices
🚀 Building projects using DevOps tools, automating deployments using Ansible, and using Terraform to provision infrastructure are key to becoming a successful cloud engineer

I wish I had something like this when I started 2 years ago. I did still manage to follow most of these suggestions because I had a mentor in the industry. Nice job!
