In April 2022, I began my FIRST cloud role as a Cloud Network Engineer (AWS-focused). I had zero cloud certs and no previous cloud experience. Check out my YouTube channel to see how I pulled that off. Five months later, I became a Cloud Associate Architect. This repo is my cloud diary. It documents what I am learning along the way and how.

This repo serves as my North Star to stay on track and move with purpose in my Cloud Journey. How I learn and move may not best suit you. Nevertheless, here's a look into how I operate. Enjoy! 🤗
This roadmap shows you what's to come for this repo. It will document my journey in chronological order. The roadmap is a work in progress. Only some things are present. For example, there's DevOps after the Linux milestone. So keep checking back for updates.
