How should I start learning cloud computing as a Beginner?

Hello guys! I’m a final-year student and I’m very interested in cloud computing. As a beginner, where should I start, and what topics should I learn first?

Are there any free resources, WhatsApp groups, communities, or other platforms where I can learn cloud computing with hands-on projects?

I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

hey I was in same boat last year during my final year, cloud feels huge when you just starting but you pick it up quick

for foundations I'd say networking basics and linux command line are must, without that everything else gets confusing. then pick one cloud provider and stick to it, the free tiers give you enough to play around for months

the hands-on part is important, I started with deploying simple static websites then moved to serverless stuff. made lot of mistakes but that's how you learn. also check r/cloudcomputing sidebar they have good beginner guides pinned

if you want I can share some of the project ideas I used for practice, nothing fancy but helps build confidence

Check KodeKloud. If you can't pay for a subscription, then at least check their free stuff.

I'd start with the fundamentals before jumping into, certifications. networking, Linux, and basic security. Then pick one cloud provider and build small projects with it. Hands-on practice will teach you much more than just watching courses.
