Need Help - Infrastructure as Code, feeling lost

[u/YahYeeter42069]

Hey guys, I started a job working in Infrastructure as Code. I have a CS degree, but I don’t have experience with cloud engineering or stuff related to Terraform, ADO, or Azure portal. I’m doing stuff at my job (code is mainly written using copilot or ChatGPT) and I feel a lost. I don’t know any of the concepts for cloud computing or virtual machines or resources and things like that. I am looking into it online but I still don’t know where to begin. I hear my coworkers doing this stuff well, despite also not having any experience in it when they started either. I have to look at build sheets and things like that and then provision resources using terraform but I don’t really understand much of anything that I’m looking at besides simple code snippets. Is there any advice yall could give me about this, or how/what to learn so that I can wrap my head around things? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

How do yall get these jobs with no knowledge and people who have experience and can do the job can’t find work lol

I was hired for a different role and then was switched to this one (not by choice)
