Career Roadmap

Follow these stages to become a Cloud Engineer

Build Strong Fundamentals

Focus on: Networking (IP, DNS, HTTP, ports) Linux basics (commands, file system, permissions) Basic programming (Python or Bash) 👉 Without this, cloud tools will feel confusing.

Learn Core AWS Services

Master Deployment & Automation

Work on Real Projects

Build: Host a website on AWS (EC2 + S3) Serverless app (Lambda + API Gateway) CI/CD pipeline project Monitoring setup (CloudWatch) 👉 Upload everything to GitHub with clear documentation.
