AWS/Azure/GCP, Linux, Networking, Virtualization, Terraform, Serverless Architecture.
Solidify your understanding of Linux, IP networking, and basic virtualization concepts.
Choose a major provider to master first: AWS (most popular), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Learn to provision and manage Virtual Machines (EC2), scaling groups, and load balancers.
Understand object storage (S3), block storage (EBS), and managed databases (RDS, DynamoDB).
Design Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), subnets, routing tables, and internet gateways.
Manage users, roles, policies, and secure your cloud infrastructure against breaches.
Automate cloud provisioning using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
Explore modern architectures using serverless functions (AWS Lambda), API Gateways, and event-driven design.
Cloud Engineers focus heavily on infrastructure architecture and cloud services, while DevOps focuses more on the CI/CD pipeline and deployment processes.
Yes, highly. Certifications like AWS Certified Solutions Architect are industry-recognized proofs of knowledge.
Scripting (Python, Bash) and declarative languages (Terraform, YAML) are essential, but full-scale application development is not.
This static roadmap is a great start. But what if you could have a dynamic, day-by-day study plan with interactive quizzes, notes, and progress tracking?
