The 4 Tools Cloud Beginners Should Focus On
Overwhelmed by the different choices of technologies when starting to learn the cloud? You're not alone. In this video I break down the 4 main categories of tool that you need to learn to get hands on with cloud technologies, no matter the role you're going for. For each category, I give you my opinion on which tool I'd for that category, and why.
01:06 - Tool #1 - Cloud Providers (AWS)
01:37 - Tool #2 - Infra As Code (Terraform)
02:37 - Tool #3 - Programming Language (Python)
03:27 - Tool #4 - Build Tool (GitHub Actions)

▶ A PRACTICAL START WITH CLOUD / AWS
I highly recommend Stephen Mareeks AWS courses. If you’re a total beginner I recommend the “Certified Cloud Practitioner” otherwise the “Associate Developer”. If you plan to take the exam, I also highly recommend Jon Bonso’s practice exams:

▶ WRITE A CLOUD RESUME THAT LANDS YOU THE JOB
There is no better book which explain Tech Hiring and how to write a resume that passes tech screening processes than “The Tech Resume: Inside out”. I am referenced in the book and my review (Twitter) is on the homepage. It’s free if you’re unemployed and is priced based on your location.

▶ BUILD YOUR RESUME (AS A PROJECT) USING CLOUD TECHNOLOGY
The “Cloud Resume Challenge” is a 12 step. I love the challenge, I’m an active member of the Discord, and I have a whole playlist on YouTube to help you complete the challenge. There is a book (it’s optional), but I strongly recommend it. Get the “Cloud Resume Challenge” book:
