Is it really CyberBlocks or CIDR-Block?
@@richardsokiemute326 He def meant CIDRblocks
Thanks for this video! Very informative and straight to the point! Will definitely be subscribing and learning from you.
thats what i was looking for, a channel that simplfy things, + subed, keep it going.
Thank you! Check out my other videos for more 👌
Thanks Toby.. Exact content which I'm thinking about last night.. and you presented.
More to come!
Great video. Subbed !
Great video, to the point, no waffle. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Toby thank you man such a great video.
My pleasure!
Hello Toby, I have been following you on tiktok and I'm glad having you on youtube. I have no previous working experience in tech but I am aspiring to be a cloud engineer, I have studied and got good basic understanding of network fundamentals,windows active directory,powershell,ARM,terraform,M365,Azure(I even prepared furter write the az-104 but my friend who is already a cloud engineer said its not necessary at the moment) and have done some hands-on projects using these tools as well. I currently only have Az-900 as a certification in tech. I have tried applying for tech roles stating the above skills in my cv but none is pulling through. what do you thing shoud be my nextline of action. I would reaklly appreciate your reply. Thanks
Really great mate 👍 - currently working as a service desk analyst creeping up with experience but want to delve into cloud computing/ engineering of my own back now. Seems the way to go with the way most companies are moving 👍 - don’t really have experience with python - so probably my biggest focus. But azure/AD is a daily visit for me 😂👍
I have a video on how to get off the helpdesk coming soon!
Good video Toby ! As someone with IT Support experience myself, I haven't had much luck with interviews lately as the IT sector seems to be more demanding nowadays, especially as a lot of general support roles seem to be fading away & putting more emphasis on cloud/specialist roles .. I am currently studying the AZ-900 & have had some hands-on with Azure, but I'm currently stuck in a dilemma whether to continue with support roles or just go straight into cloud .. Also, being from London, the landscape for IT/Tech jobs is a large mess with no real industry focus to seek help from.
I've noticed a few "cloud support" roles pop up also. I actually have an AZ-900 video dropping today! look out for it
@@techtoby_ Cool thanks ! Will do
Not true. You still need on-site guys to resolve on-site hardware issue's hense what Desktop Support guys are for. I can see Help Desk roles going obsolete due to AI that relace then as automation is already used in Service Desk with auto assist. But AI or cloud ca never replace an on-site tech if a PC, Laptop breaks, Printer, Workstations, Projectors, or even a server.
@@seanmix2954 I get what you mean, but where I'm at here in London a lot of on-site people are just one person handling an entire building or SME, so the jobs are competitive & demanding it seems. My goal is to get some more support experience, then move on to the cloud or some type of remote IT role.
@@jmedz893 how is your Linux skills? A lot Cloud infrastructure roles are often filled by seasoned server admins with over 20+ years of experience.
Thank you Toby nice video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey toby would be very thankful if you could mention some good resource for building a strong foundational and then advance knowledge of networking.I have basic Idea of OSI models and TCP/IP but I am not able to get forward would be very thankful if you could help me with resources and guide me.
Hey Toby,
Great content, I've been following you on TikTok for a while now and your content is super helpful and you always reply to my q's in the comments so thank you!!!
I was wondering if you think it's worth joining a programme/bootcamp to learn AWS? they charge around 2k for the course but help you land a job. I know I could probably learn AWS on my own using all the resources out there but I'm worried if I do it this route, I won't be able to get a job due to not having experience etc. I worry the certifs won't mean anything on their own and I'll struggle to get a job hence why I'm contemplating the training programmes although it's really expensive!! What do you think?
The bootcamp still wouldn’t count as experience (I’d presume). If they’re guaranteed a job at the end then I would do it but if they just claim to “help” by writing you a CV and interview prep I personally would just study in my own time and save the money.
F.Y.I: get cert. entry level( az-900 or aws..) and search for “Azure Cloud Resume Challenge” from Forrest Brazeal, you will find the exact Roadmap mentioned in this Video! If you can solve this challenge.. you will be a Cloud Engineer Congrats!
Hi Toby, what is the priority for a person working as software engineer to get into cloud?
Learning the techs you explained in your video or getting certifications from one of the vendors?
Thanks.
To be honest, both. Although as you're already in the industry, the cert won't be as desirable for employers as you can already cover off the coding aspects of Cloud Engineering with your SWE knowledge. The coding won't be difficult for you to pick up. IaC is declarative, easy to read and write. I also expect you know how to deliver architecture at scale and have database knowledge. If I were you i'd focus on picking a cloud provider, learning how it works and then start playing around with a free tier account (i have a video on how to create aws free tier). After that, start deploying it with code! P.S Learn Networking.
Keep the good work going
Thank you! Will do
Hey Toby, Great content👏
I'm a fresher for cloud engineering. Is it necessary to learn python . coz the course I studied didn't cover python or terraform ?
and I don't have much coding knowledge except SQL.
You’ll be expected to have some knowledge of python, powershell or bash. Most of the coding is done with IaC like Terraform, Bicep etc
Thanks !
👌
I'm currently 18. Currently doing computer science degree (first semester). I have learned c++ in the past 3 months. Now I'm learning DSA, I'll probably complete Learning DSA in the next 2 months. Then after 2 months my plan is to learn python. It'd probably take me 1-2 months to learn python. Now when I'm done learning python, what should I do next? I'm super excited to learn cloud. ❤
I’d recommend doing the AWS Cloud Practitioner or Azure Fundamentals to gain initial understanding of how Cloud Computing works. Then move on to IaC and Networking. That should help you land an internship or grad role after University 💯
techtoby, what's a good resource for learning networking? is acquiring the net+ cert overkill?
I think that’s the best place to start or ccna. They’re expensive though, a Udemy course will be cheaper to pick up the basics initially
@@techtoby_ do you know of any resource that includes most of what you mentioned in the roadmap?
I'm looking at kodekloud Cloud engineer path of zerotomastery's devops path.
Great Video Toby!
Do you edit them yourself?
This one I didn't edit myself
I came from TikTok and subscribed here now.
I’m totally new to IT.
I am a healthcare professional who wants to transition into tech.
Cloud engineering has taken my interest.
I can’t commit to much time until April/May as I’m working full time and plus some.
What would you recommend me to do?
I’m thinking of learning the dummy versions of python, JavaScript and after watching this video, terraform.
I aim to learn the abdoloute basics of 2 of those 3 by May.
What would you say to someone in my shoes?
I really want to make this transition a reality.
Don’t worry about JavaScript, we don’t use it as Cloud Engineers, unless it’s for a development cloud role.
Do the free online learning on AWS, Azure or GCP on their website in your spare time maybe an hour a day. Then eventually create a free tier account (i have a video on this) to practice deploying resources and then move on to doing it with Infrastructure as Code
@@techtoby_ so would you say the courses are the best thing to start with?
I’m going to be honest. I am overwhelmed by looking at their contents and think I need some basic knowledge before.
If you understand my position. What free courses/ video topics would you recommend me to do/ watch?
If your at help desk how long would it take to be a cloud engineer? Would a college degree and certs be enough?
I worked in support for around 2 years before moving in to engineering but I believe I could have done it quicker. Learning all of the skills required and understanding how cloud providers work is the most important
Hello Toby, thank you for your great video. After viewing your video I wanted to subscribe to your newsletter, but after clicking the weblink in the description I received a 404 response.
What is the correct URL for your newsletter?
Sorry that’s not working mate. It works on my linktree which you can find in my instagram and tiktok bio, i will fix it on the next video
@@techtoby_ I found your subscription page. Thank you Toby.
Any good resource link you can provide for Linux? Ik there are tons of them on yt but if you can help with one link or channel?
I recommend installing it snd using it as your primary O/S tbh
I’m curious what you think about WGU’s cloud computing program.
Is this for the US? It looks pretty cool. From what I understand degrees are more valued in the US compared to the UK
@@techtoby_ I believe it’s only for the US.
Bro, no offense, would AI tools, automation etc will do devops job or take it over?
No, I expect roles will change slightly. I made a video on this, check it out
Thanks bro.. I know I can trust you with that west country accent like mine😂, great video, very informative 👍
West Country La La La
What kind of laptop do you suggest?
It doesn’t matter. Anything that has 8gb ram, an ssd and preferably an i7 you’ll be fine
@@techtoby_ awesome man! Thank you for the help
I have heard that cloud engineer is not an entry level job. Is it true and if yes what entry level job should you aim for to get that cloud engineer job?
There are junior cloud engineering positions, just like devops and swe. They’re not easy to land I must admit but it’s certainly possible. Building up from helpdesk, sysadmin or network engineering is a good step also
I don't have plan for cloud engineer role.
In future I will continue in application support role.
Actually money matters..
True, Cloud pays more 💰
How about people with IT experience? Cloud Engineering is not entry level. You should make that clear.
The roadmap is exactly the same. There are junior cloud engineer positions and I’ve worked with plenty of juniors the past 2 years.
The tech industry is constantly changing. There are plenty of training programs now that focuses on taking newbies with no tech background into cloud engineers. I'm in one. AWS Re/start program. So why don't you remove your head from the sand and step into the new tech industry before you pop off at the mouth.
@@brownsense1 aight dude! Good luck with your "new" over saturated tech industry. You think bootcamp/training model is new? You sound as if youre an industry pro lol chill.
If it was over saturated there wouldn’t be thousands of job ads
Thanks for the video, can we just all get along and stop with the egos gentlemen. Let's be men here!
working as a desktop support engineer with 4 yrs of exp. can i learn cloud eng. And get a job?
Yes mate. I used to work in a Desktop team around 6 years ago
lol @. DESK SUPPORT ENGINEER
@@letstalk3390lmaoo So I guess I have to stretch the truth a little when applying to these jobs huhh
Can you plz provide good resources for networking?
You can get a good course on Udemy and also your chose cloud provider will have free online training
free CCNA Resource czcams.com/video/H8W9oMNSuwo/video.html
I’m a systems engineer can you tell me how I can become a full cloud engineer
Lots of content to come in 2024
Can we have a setup video please
We’ll try do this soon
Hi Toby, if i want to learn networking nicely especially wrt to cloud, can you recommend some resources like a book to learn from.
You can get a good course on Udemy and also your chose cloud provider will have free online training
Are you from Devon?
Bristol
I think you are talking about Devops
Nope. The roles overlap and have the same tech stacks
so apparently cloud engineering is much easier than leetcode and software engineering?
We still code. No engineering job is easy
@@techtoby_ cloud engineering is more working with Terraform and AWS and more like Devops and less with application development, right? It's a more high level job that is like a branch of computer science but deals more with infrastructure than with algorithms and data structures.
@@user-nj8lu8ld9eno, it is not high level. It’s very complex with a lot of moving parts
Why is that every “cloud engineer” has a CZcams channel, it just gives the implication that they either got a job and didn’t like or it was to hard and decided to make “content”
I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make. There are many frontend, backend, web, full stacks, devops, cloud engineers making content. Even scrums, accountants, marketing. Career content is hardly new
Suggest me free bootcamp to become Cloud engineer
I doubt there are any free bootcamps. You'd need to learn from free resources online
What are some of the great paid bootcamp you can recommend?
@@abrahamigunmaI hear yellow tech is really good but it’s not cheap at all
mic audio is so low
Really? It's fine for me. I use a Blue Yeti
So get Comptia network+ certificate?
It will help, there are some cheap courses on udemy for networking
No you will not become a Cloud Engineer from having a Network+ you need a learn a assortment of technlogies at a proficient level. Network+ is like a entry level cert i'd be aiming more for the CCNA
Majority of Cloud Engineers I know are pretty much god like when it comes to I.T we are talking years of experience with various technologies. I'm not saying you are but alot of these cloud videos on youtube are click bait and are giving people unrealistic expectations.
Junior roles exist mate
Another BS video with unrealistic advice that target's people new to IT to lure folks thinking that you learn this shit in 3 to 6 months is laughable. As a Sysadmin, I know this from experience. It took me 3 years to get where I'm at given how much stuff I had to learn when I started on Service Desk. No way in hell you can learn my role in 3 months.
How is a roadmap unrealistic advice 🤣 chill
@@techtoby_ I seen your other video 😂. People know you are full of shit just like another content creator posting a similar video becoming a Cloud Engineer in just 3 months. It's virtually impossible become a Cloud Engineer let alone a Sysadmin in 3 months with no experience starting on the Help Desk. It takes at least a year or more to learn, Linux Sysadmin skills, Networking, Security, Storage, Databases, Scripting such as Bash, Powershell or Python, DevOps automation tools such as Ansible, Puppet, Chef, IaC tools like Terraform Cloudformation, Kubernetes, Containers, Continuously Integration, Continuously Delivery (CI/CD). Anyone with half a brain will tell you this, you simply can't learn all that in lss than 3-6months and be proficient at.
@@techtoby_ Also certifications don't mean shit if you don't have experience. Hell I don't even have a degree or a RHCSA and work as a Red Hat Linux Admin because I had prior hands on experience. 9 times out of 10 Cloud Engineers don't even hold a Solutions Architect certification. Why? Because employers focus on hands on experience and skillsets. They hire people that can build things and solve problems rather than be a test taker. You need to build your own projects, prove in the interview you can do the job.
You will forget most of what you learn within 3 months or so unless your using it in a job, doing a cert is not same as using the product in a buisness environment either, my advice do A+ get entry level job learn as much as you can in that role to improve skillset and move up in the company say to 2nd line then to 3rd line etc
Keep in mind this will take years. You will not become a cloud engineer within a year or two
Hi, what would be the ideal roadmap for a Archive and Media Manager who wants to learn CLoud backups/storage?
Choose a cloud provider and then look in their storage services. AWS for example has AWS Backup, EBS, FSx, EFS, S3 and many more
@@techtoby_ Thanks Toby for your quick reply! Do you know if there is any specific certificates I could gain towards this? thanks!!
@@kantabronazo unfortunately not, it’s not that large of a topic to have a certification
Really nice video! i was wondering if i could help you edit your videos and make them more engaging as well as create short content out of them.
DM me on Instagram mate
@@techtoby_ Ok sure...
