Everyone is posting "If I had to start over in tech" posts the past few days.

Almost all the tech vets have cloud as one of the technologies they said they would focus on.

I couldn't agree more!

So if you want to start...here's 20 cloud vids (AWS/Azure/CCSP) to help you!!!🧵

We're going to start with AWS first, since they are the mostly widely used, have the most services, and what I have the most experience in, #AWSCommunity 😂

You should set up a free account and if you don't know how to, I got you!

Most folks start with the #AWS CCP, it's their foundational certification. It's a solid spot to become familiar with their terminology and services.

Bonus points if you do labs along with it to help you learn.

Here's my review of the exam/resources

If you do go the #AWS CCP route, a practice test walkthrough might be helpful!

After the #AWS CCP, I wanted to take some of their harder exams, so I started to focus on the AWS SOA and SAA. But first I really had to get some hands on knowledge.

I started with understanding the networking/VPC portion.

Then I moved on to a few other key #AWS services and configuration options. CloudFormation is one of the ways to do Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in the AWS cloud.

Storing and backing up data is and the ease to be able to do it, is one of the cloud's main selling points. In this video I did a walkthrough on #AWS S3 and Backups.

In this walkthrough I focused on how to load balance traffic and build in resiliency when one of your instances fails.

You need to know how to set up alerting in AWS for when unplanned issues do occur. This video covers #AWS CloudWatch.

I did the #AWS associate certs backwards and did the hardest one first😂 It had labs and the exam kicked my butt, luckily I did pass.

Here's my review on the AWS SysOps Admin Associate exam.

If you are interested in the #AWS SOA, here is a practice test walkthrough I did for it🤝

After I passed the #AWS SOA, I read there was a lot of overlap between it and the Solutions Architect Associate (SAA) exam. Since the SAA is supposed to be easier, I took it a couple weeks later and passed!

Since I passed both the #AWS SOA and SAA I wanted to do an in-depth breakdown to help folks decide which exam they might want to pursue.

I've also started to get into the cybersecurity/blue/red side of #AWS. Here is a @RealTryHackMe walkthrough that covers basic AWS account and S3 enumeration.

And another #AWS @RealTryHackMe room covering the Elastic Container Registry (ECR).

I did go to BlackHat this year and take a 4 day #AWS pentesting class. This video is a recap of all of the different services and methods we covered!

And building on the stuff I learned at BlackHat, here is my first #AWS CTF video walkthrough from @PenTestingCloud

If you made it down this far and are still like, where is the freaking Microsoft stuff man, I feel you😂

Here is my review of Microsoft's foundational level cloud cert, AZ-900

And obviously, you by now know I love practice test walkthroughs, so here is one for AZ-900

This past year I did take one of the more advanced certs I've taken in many years, the @ISC2 CCSP, which is basically the CISSP for cloud technology. Here is my review/study guide.

And lastly, it's a little bit more niche, but you know I do love @JuniperCertify, so here is a review of the JNCIA-Cloud exam.

I hope you found something helpful in at least one of these different videos!

I put out some entertaining and useful stuff...
