Sure! If you're completely new to the cloud with limited experience in Linux and systems administration, your best bet would be to check out the many free (as in beer) training courses offered by popular hyperscalers such as those listed below, in roughly descending order of popularity:
These courses are designed to help you pass their popular, officially recognized certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional which are well recognized in the job market. In particular, if you're short on your budget, aim for Professional level certifications as they provide the most value for money. Of course, you should study diligently beforehand and ensure you really understand all the training material prior to taking the exam. The best way to learn and prepare is by doing - create an AWS account (or Azure / GCP account), familiarize yourself with the services (and limitations thereof) offered by the free tier, e.g. AWS Free Tier, and get building! DevOps is also closely related to cloud engineering but requires a greater degree of familiarity of underlying technologies commonly used by cloud platforms such as Linux, Kubernetes and automation - scripting (Python, Bash), configuration management (Ansible, Puppet, Chef), Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC - Terraform / OpenTofu, Pulumi), GitOps (Flux, Argo CD), etc. If you wish to specialize in DevOps, check out the wide variety of courses and certifications offered by the Linux Foundation (LF) Education. While their instructor-led courses and certifications are costly, they do have self-paced online courses on edX which are available at no cost with an option to purchase a verified certificate. Again, if you're short on your budget, focus on preparing for and earning the most popular certifications such as the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) - these 2 in particular will greatly boost your profile and get your foot in the door for entry-level DevOps positions. Best of luck and work hard, play hard! 💯 |

there are several affordable resources available. Check out freeCodeCamp, Coursera, and edX for free courses on Python and cloud computing. Additionally, platforms like Udemy often have sales where you can find courses for around 10 −15, and you can join online communities for additional support. |
