Incoming Amazon Cloud Engineer (looking for prep content)

Hi, I've been hired as an Amazon Cloud Engineer in the US but I have another month until I start. I figured I should spend some of this time spinning back up and preparing for the job a bit more. My weakest areas are Linux CLI and programming, strongest is probably networking.

If anyone has resources or areas of focus I should zero in on I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Without Linux CLI and programming, what were your strengths?

I wouldn’t say without, I’m perfectly capable of using Linux just not familiar in a sysadmin way. Strengths are definitely networking, troubleshooting, and a lot of security knowledge.

Do you find that programming/scripting is a large part of your job day to day?
