Hello Jessi,

It's great that you are interested in Cloud computing; start with the basics of AWS/Azure, understand the core concepts, and give practice tests and certifications when you are confident enough. Udemy is one of the best platforms where you can find several courses. KodeKloud & Acloudguru are a few others. 

AWS and GCP also provide you with accessible trails & credits for you to practice upon. Make full use of those when you practise your learnings. 

Let me know if you need any help regarding this.  

Thanks

Hi jessi,

Let me start by saying that assuming you have good amount of experience in networking, it wont be a tough journey for you to learn and get into cloud computing.

In my experience, having a background on at least two among "compute, network and storage " components of Infrastructure is a great start to get into cloud computing, especially, when you are aiming of career as a Cloud Architect and then cloud advisor.

You can start with any of the hyperscaler certifications among AWS/GCP/Azure, and paralelly, start hands-on. GCP offers a free trial for 90 days with 20k free credit, which you can use to spin up VMs and other GCP Resources for your learning. Remember "Practice makes man perfect", not just classroom/online learning.

Once you have learnt the basics, try to build solutions on different use cases or problems that you already know or you get to know from your professional acquaintances.

You can also ping me personally to get more details

All the Best !! :-)
