3 STEPS to getting started

  1. 🤔 REVIEW - this Repo and FAQ
    • this repo is a companion to my 'Cloud Careers and Certifications` - link course on LinkedIn Learning or Lynda.com course. It is designed to be a first course for those who are new working with public cloud services
    • ❓ FAQ - here are the top 10 questions students ask about learning-cloud - link
  2. 🤔 SELECT a cloud vendor (AWS, GCP...), set up a free trial (test) account for learning
    • See the main file in each vendor folders for links
      • for AWS go to \AWS folder -> README.md
      • for GCP go to \GCP folder -> README.md, etc...
    • Set up MFA (multi-factor authentication) on the root user account for your trial cloud account to protect against account misuse by others
      • setup up MFA on AWS root user account - link
      • setup MFA on GCP user accounts - link
    • Learn more about cloud vendor differences - link
  3. 💸 SECURE and SETUP a budget alert on your test account - I suggest alerting on spend of over $ 50 USD per day
    • follow best practices for security a demo account (AWS example) - link
    • pick a scenario or service to start learning
    • build your project on the cloud and Learn...repeat!
