For anyone who may decide the boring path of learning cloud. Here is my best knowledge to get you started.
Aws educate. Aws skill builder. Digital ocean. IBM cloud. Microsoft cloud called azure. W3school. Amazon restart. Aws-emergingtalent. Acloud.guru. plural sight. Are all free resources to learn how infrastructure works. Since the future is going cloud, and you want to go security. Your best bet is learning free while it's still gree. Starting at AWS educate is a great place to start as a noob. Security man's networks generally since that's where threats come from first then computer defense secondly. Red hat learning is another great place along side Ubuntu learning as they are both Linux based but operate slightly differently in their shell. Cloudflare has
Great content to understand networks. FreeCodeBootcamp has good resources as well.
Let's say you want to get something to work on your Ubuntu computer operating system. You go to ubuntu site to learn how to get other softwares to work on its site. Say you need azureAD (entra identity center) to work on AWS (Amazon Web services. You go to AWS and use their documentation to learn. If your router is acting up and you need to fix it you go to get router company website. If softwares isn't working you go to that company website. Sometimes this is backwards but for the most part is not.
When you run into troubles, get stuck, or if something does not work out as planned on the documentation. Blogs are great place to start. Other valuable resources for troubleshooting are. Reddit, medium, Quora, discord, twitter, telegram are all great resources. However some topics are specific to certain platforms. Like cryptocurrency for instance. You will need to use discord, telegram, twitter and Reddit for forums(blogs) to get your best input from other users, as well as the above mentioned tactics will help.
To be honest, I hate being on line. I'm not ever certain it will pay out. to get started learning on aws educate you don't need anything really. To build on aws console on the web browser you need a credit debit card that is active to sign up. They do not charge unless you go over. If you do this. Make sure to set up cost alerts and always shut down and delete ALL services you start as prices for something's can be hundreds of dollars a day. Specifically fast snapshots, high compute instances, certain types of storage that is not being used, and others. Look up how to keep cost under control on line and you will find a bunch of articles to follow to set up alerts and monitors on your account in aws.
I wish I could remember more to help you right now but that's all I got off the top of my head.
That's more than sufficient to get you started I think.
It would be best to have a computer and use two tas but you can accomplish this on a mobile it's just more of a pain in the ass swiping between tabs or apps to read then test.
Sadly this is the future it seems.
The good side to this is that it has the most potential to create a society where the daily grind could become a few hour grind each day. Maybe.
Good luck all.
