How to become a cloud engineer - Chapter 0 - Absolute Basics

What you'll learn

See cloud computing for what it is without the confusing jargon.
Learn from an IT Veteran with 20 years experience and has all AWS and Google Associate and Pro certifications and 8 others.

Requirements

This course is for the absolute beginner with no experience but can also benefit who have already started learning the cloud.

Description

First thing first, I have 21 years or IT experience, only 1 of that in the cloud, but in that 1 year, I became the team lead of a cloud engineering team for a fortune 500 company saved them 4 million $ of their 12 million$ AWS budget for a specific department. Trained an Auto Mechanic barely getting by and mentored him to a job making 80,000 per year. And in the same time interviewed more than 20 candidates all with at least 2 AWS associate certificates and rejected all of them but 2, while the other 2 I hired and turned them into world-class DevOps Engineers did not have any certifications. If I sound like someone you would want to listen to, go ahead with this beginner course.


To set the expectations clear, this course is not to get you working knowledge of cloud computing as in how to create resources, this would be all about concepts that people do not know, and just like a building you dont have a good foundation you are not going to last.


To get hands on and become a ethically successful cloud professional you would need beginner level knowledge and I am working on creating those courses, but the problem I am having is how to make them effective without making them 30 hours in length.


You would be able to get your Pro certifications after attending my trainings but that is absolutely not my goal, associate level you would need to remember a lot of pointless garbage, but add reviews to my trainings and I will pass on my notes to you that should get you associate certifices. I did get all 4 associate and 3 pro certs for AWS and GCP but not something you NEED to be a ethically successful cloud professional.
