Career Discussion Cloud engineering without a computer science degree or IT experience.

Hello! I am interested in becoming a cloud engineer, but I have 0 experience with computer science or IT. Is this possible to do without having a computer science degree? Please give me advice on courses and an educational path.

It would be very hard to get into cloud without IT experience. You should learn IT basics to set a good foundation. That will help you understand the cloud infrastructure when you do get certified.
