If you have no IT experience or no Cloud/DevOps experience or are a relative beginner. Please please please do no start doing these certifications thinking you will get a job. No gatekeeping here but Cloud Engineering is as the name suggests not a beginner subject.

Use learntocloud.guide/ to help ease you into this sector. Spend a good 6 months on the fundamentals described in that guide.

Also look at this DevOps roadmap. DevOps is a maybe contentious name >

roadmap.sh/devops

If you're a complete novice start with AWS Cloud Practitioner to ease yourself in. Do the AWS CloudQuest Cloud Practitioner gamified.

You will have absolutely zero chance getting a remote working position either as a beginner. Remote working has 400+ applicants per job and many of those people are far better qualified than you.

As a beginner you are likely best served by learning Microsoft Office 365 admin, Sharepoint admin and getting into a 1st line support role. You'd likely want to do a COMPTIA A+ course as well

This is a really tough sector to find work as a beginner, almost impossible. Learntocloud is a reasonable guide, but expect a low pay support line role around £20K-£22K as a beginner.

If beginner or new to Cloud Engineering/DevOps

1. Do COMPTIA A+ exam

comptia.org/cer…s/a

2. Do CISCO CCNA Networking. Networking is absolutely essential in Cloud Engineering.

Look for First Line, 1st line, support engineer, technical support engineer roles. Look at what helpdesk software they recommend. Look at ITIL 4 - IT Service Management.

For example > Handle Microsoft Office 365 tenancy admin tasks, including Exchange, SharePoint/OneDrive, Teams, and Security.

The key here is to look at job listings look at the requirements. You can't meet them all, look at what is common to them all. I've listed some examples above.

Good luck really tough sector, will require a lot of hard work and to start from the bottom and work your way up. (edited)

Great post, with some helpful information. I'm surprised you mentioned getting A+ and 1st line support etc. That was sort of my route into the professional I.T. world. Basic support, leading to more advanced roles as gain knowledge and experience. I got slammed for suggesting that sort of route, a while back in a similar post about taking certifications. I believe It was suggested to me that understanding how a computer works, being able to understand all the parts, build one and service them, is not that necessary in today's cloud based and almost totally online lives. Being able to code and understand the cloud environment and tools was more important. But what do I know, being an old techie since the 8bit days.

Thanks for the post. In terms of content, do you know what differences there are between the associate architect course and the pro?

SAA is the max you want to do if you are a beginner. SAP is far more challenging and is really for people who already work Architecting solutions on AWS for a few years.

digitalcloud.training/aws…on/

As I said if you're a beginner these certs have almost zero chance of getting you a job.

If SAA is 5/10 difficulty, then SAP is 10/10. The most challenging AWS Certification is probably the Advanced Networking Certificaiton.

Anyway as I said if you're a beginner stay away from these certs until you have at least 6 months of working with the fundamentals I listed in another post on this thread.
