Is it too late to learn Cloud Computing in 2025?

[@dhess34]

It’s not too late to learn Cloud skills, in fact they’re considered absolute must-haves now, same as knowing Python and/or typescript. Ten years ago if you had Cloud skills you had a leg up on others, now you’re *expected* to have Cloud skills, even if you aren’t a cloud engineer.

[@nexxblemm2279]

its so hard to learn I have commited a lot of time to it

[@amrfaragalla5145]

@@nexxblemm2279 did you get a major from college to become a cloud engineer or what because I have a an IT Programming certificate I got from my 3 year trade school program and I am at that stage right now where I want to become a cloud engineer and don't know which major will build be the skillset to become a cloud Engineer

[@nexxblemm2279]

@@amrfaragalla5145 I actually started the course at coursera. I finished the associate level, I was in expert level before my membership expired. But what is confusing me is what next to start learning. They are just too many, programming languages, docker, containers, kubernetes, spark etc. I have learnt a bit about most of these things but yet it is not just easy.

Hello ,I am a banker with 18 years experience and a MBA with dual specialization in MARKETING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.I am very much interested in shifting from banking to tech based roles,so 1) which cloud certificate is best suited for me 2) Out of all these cloud courses like AWS, Azure & GCP which is suitable for me 3) Can I expect good employment opportunities with decent salaries,even at this late stage. Kindly guide,Thanks

[@xcelerate1000]

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.

[@TechWithMambou]

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.

[@endreh8406]

Skill issue, all jokes aside take it one step at a time. You can’t expect to conquer a mountain in one go. Even a day to try to figure out a topic or domain. Or a week. By the end of the year you’ll be surprised to see how much you’ve learned. 1-2 hours a day is enough with that you’ll have 365-700+ hours in a year to study and accomplish your goal. It’s a marathon, not a sprint!

[@read200books]

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!

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.

[@samirkonate]

So not too late if you dedicate yourself to continue learning

[@ibra653]

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

I think it can be very daunting to start learning cloud especially at your age. what i would suggest to learn skills that complement the skills you already have.

What advice do you have for me to navigate my journey?

[@youngmonkreturns5973]

Lucy, been following you for a while now. I will say I am very frustrated because I did everything I thought I needed. I transitioned from a network support role, attained my AWS CP and SA, completed many cloud and develops related projects and shared on git hub, and all I got was a software support role. I’ve been here for 2 years hoping I would be able to get a cloud role, but now I’m stuck in support. I am very frustrated with this, and not sure what to do. Sounds like I need to find a new opportunity.

I am really interested in taking a cloud course but my biggest challenge is I don’t have a good education, I dropped out of junior high school because of financial problems. I am a very optimistic person and always give my best in everything I set my mind to. I don’t even know how to write a CV, however I believe I can take this course and become a pro. My question is would companies hire somebody like me who is uneducated and find it difficult to express myself in English? Your answer will be highly appreciated. Thank you Lucy

Background: Years in customer service and technical support (not pure IT), im planning to change career in Tech (unsure what) yet stuck in analysis paralysis. I am moving on by taking action but still I have questions But your cloud journey, lets say, can I ask a few: 1- Do we need to take google IT support or any IT support certificate to start? If no, why? 2- Can I take edx c250 comp sc? If not needed, why? 3- Is Artichect the highest in this career where its the same as principal? If not, what is? Im taking 3-4 months to do Google Data Analytics and Cs50 edx to know if im interested in either. Then Ill specify, and im setting on cloud as one of the option Any insight or VIDEO will be helpful Edit: I found this video answered some of my doubts, hahahaa. And YES: I want the study plan!!!!
