For folks getting into cloud skills, you probably want to work at a company doing hybrid or planning a migration (so for all the new grads out there or career changers) You might get stuck doing boring helpdesk or other entry-type work, but you will also get a chance to assist in implementing/maintaining cloud systems. The knowledge you get from certs is great, but the real world tends to be messy, and figuring out how to apply best practices and clean up a sloppy configuration is important. Lastly, while you are studying, try to think of how implementing x thing in a live environment would work (last week I had to cut-over 10 TB of SAN storage to cloud storage for an app that has something like 50k users, a nerve-wracking couple hours there, but thorough testing paid off). Lastly, I wouldn't worry about cloud computing going away, if you are a SMB owner and you need a new server for something it is way easier to add a few hundred $ a month than dropping $30k on new hardware and those SMBs will need someone who knows how to work those systems.
I have started learning AWS, and this video really hells to boost confidence. Thank you
My Conclusion: Businesses won’t stop being Cloud Businesses anytime soon, therefore there will be people to hire. With the rise of Ai we won’t have to stop learning cloud…we will all have to re-learn it alongside what Ai has to offer.
Hello @techwithLucy, As always, your content is outstanding! I'd like to offer an additional perspective: It's important for those entering the field to focus on mastering fundamental networking skills before rushing to accumulate certifications. Understanding core concepts such as the role of a router, how to build a Local Area Network (LAN), what a Virtual Machine (VM) is, and the distinctions between private and public subnets is crucial. For those with more experience, a practical challenge could be integrating an EC2 instance into your CI/CD pipeline—for instance, using GitLab CI. This kind of hands-on application reinforces both foundational and advanced skills.
I would love to see your video on a study plan for those three specific areas. I have no prior IT knowledge but am eager to learn cloud computing. However, every time I start, I get overwhelmed by how little I know and end up giving up.😢
Hi Lucy! Little unrelated to this video but I think it would be awesome if you could make videos explaining cloud terminologies. When I was starting to learn cloud all the terminologies were so overwhelming and unfamiliar, so people would love to see it!
Awesome video! 🙌 The insights on cloud computing in 2025 are really spot on, and I completely agree that it's not too late to dive into it. I actually create similar content around cloud computing, cybersecurity and I think both fields are incredibly important in today's tech landscape. It’s amazing to see how rapidly these areas are evolving and how essential they’ll be in the coming years. Keep up the great work—looking forward to more videos like this...
I am starting AWS from this and will watch your previous uploaded a video.
Learning the cloud is now mostly a skill more than a career. Means it will always be required no matter what but mostly on the DevOps side. Cloud Engineer roles most of the time are software/operations knowledge related more than cloud management and architecture. Such as learning linux, bash, having networking skills, kubernetes, docker, databases, infrastructure as code, and then the cloud skill comes as an umbrella to run and manage all these skills using its services and environment. The trend of promoting cloud as a career itself is most of the time not true. And only works on FAANG
One for Security. That's the most important part of all business communication. Great video! Keep up the great work 😊❤
Yes please, if convenient, do post a video about how to structure this. I have a legal and business background and want to make the transition, but it feels unnatural that I don't have some basic IT knowledge, apart from using the common office software.
Yes please for Study plan for all 3.
I would like the video on the study plan
Land a job in the cloud? Sounds dreamy 😊
I’m in school for cloud computing and app development starting next semester for 2 years can’t wait!
I am kinda of starting, but i am starting with the Google Support Certificate 1st(currently on the end of Module 2), while job searching. Hoping to get into tech longer term. And i do subscribe to Cloudbites😁
So not too late if you dedicate yourself to continue learning
If anyone says No. They'll get left behind. Cloud computer and AI is the future.
I’m unsure which path (Cloud, Cybersecurity, or Data Science) is best for me. I want to avoid learning skills that won’t have much upside potential by the time I’m job-ready. I’m looking for something that’ll be worthwhile for the next 5-10 years. Academically, it’s going to be a long journey for me, but I’m a creative thinker and I like putting myself in challenging situations. Are these fields already past their prime? Should I be looking elsewhere? Any advice you’re willing to give is greatly appreciated!
