      I need more context on your question. It sounds like you potentially work on-prom and your employer asked you to specialise in a certain area of architecture or offered you the opportunity to move to a cloud focused role? Hard to tell from your comment but yes, Cloud offers many services like networking, databases etc. They would all be cloud based, not on-prem.

And sometimes I don't want to say the wrong thing either and say I want to focus on x when they only have y. I thought cloud sec and infra sec were the same thing to be honest. I did research a bit after the interview about the four specialisms. Fingers crossed I will hear back from the employer soon.

    "I got a cloud engineer job with the AZ-900" Oh boy, major bullshit alert. The AZ-900 qualifies you for absolutely nothing and no one is even going to hire you for tier 1 helpdesk with it, let alone an engineering job. Sure, it's a fine little addition to an already well-rounded resume, great for showing your employer you're motivated to learn if you're in your first year on the job. But that's it. I'd like to see this guy's actual LinkedIn before I believe anyone is hiring you for an engineering role based on the AZ-900.

    Toby another great video! Getting a job as a cloud engineer is hard if you have no experience, but definitely not impossible. It’s a very nuanced specialty and requires the foundations of Linux, Networking, Root Cause Analysis, being curious and getting familiar and working with Docker, Terraform, Cloud Provider, etc. My experience is working in a tech company starting off in an IT Security Support role performing level 1 tasks and eventually being able to build up my fundamentals perform level 2 tasks like working and configuring VMs in the cloud for employees, network troubleshooting, IAM using Okta, automating security groups with Terraform, and getting proficient at working with Linux and the terminal. I would still say I’m still a newbie after this and am interviewing for a Cloud Support Engineer internally, but there’s just so much to learn which is great, but also not easy. It took me 8 months to get relatively proficient in these skills, but it takes effort and actually enjoying. I really enjoy this the cloud environment in general, but not interested in Software development. I think people believe that they can learn the basics of AWS and some linux and get a cloud job, but unless you’re incredibly lucky or have a substantial network, you have to be employable, hungry and passionate. This applies to any role and specialty, certs can be great for HR, but you need to bring value and passion, otherwise it’s going to be difficult and you said being WFH is great, but you need to actually demonstrate to an employer or client (consulting) that you can do the job and deliver.

    • @techtoby_

      I never said it would be easy, if it was, everyone would work in Tech. But as you say, not impossible and I have proof of that in my community and real life experiences. To get to a Junior level the core concepts I mentioned will be essential. Networking, Virtualisation, Storage, IAM, Databases. Then working on Terraform with a scripting language + docker thrown in is enough for a junior. My roadmap video covers the complete stack.

It doesn't matter what cert you have without relevant experience its just paper. Cert+ work experience at least will get you a foot in the door via interview calls. In the end , any knowledge is good knowledge but cert itself can't land you a job.
