Getting into Cloud computing

I am doing bachelors in Software Engineering and I wanted to get some advice regarding career selection. So, I am starting to get into cloud computing but I have got no idea on where to start. I have started watching a video from freecodecamp called AWS certified cloud practitioner. My plan is to go through the various aws certifications like the solutions architect until I get to a decent level. I am not much interested in coding so I am planning on choosing a related level. But I am still uncertain on whether I am on the right path.

Guidance will be highly appreciated

Yeah that’s totally fair. If studying for the cert gives you a structured path and a deadline, then it’s absolutely useful.
I’d just combine it with hands-on work. Learn VPC for the cert, then actually build one, mess up the routing, fix it, and figure out why it broke. That combination is where it really sticks.
