I wanted to learn more about cloud technology and specialize in one of the three main providers. To help me decide which one to specialize in, I thought about taking the fundamental certification exams for all three of them.
I studied for those certifications the same way I did for the LPI Linux Essentials: using IT Pro and then A Cloud Guru for hands-on exercises.
I also opened an account with each of the three cloud providers. It was essential for me to go beyond theoretical knowledge. Each provider offers a free tier account or free credits.
All three providers have awesome services and provide good options to learn their products, but I have decided to choose only one to specialize in. So, I will tell you everything about it in the next post 😉
