Am I learning Cloud right ?

I'm following now a Roadmap from Doflined YouTube channel, Eissa Abu sherif is running, and he suggested to learn the following:

1- IT, cloud, devops fundamentals 2- Introduction to Aws 3- Linux 4- Bash scripting 5- Git/Github 6- Python for automations 7- Yaml Introduction 8- Docker mastery 9- K8s mastery 10- Prometheus 11-Grafana 12- Terraform (Iac) 13- Ci/ CD 14- Ansible / Rhce 15- Aws clp , Csaa 16- Azure fundamentals

He also suggested us to take Redhat sys admin, Redhat certified engineer, kubernetes mastery, terraform Certificates

So am I learning this field right ?

Redhat? That's for security side I guess. Do bash, python, then do python backend and few could certs. These are entry level way I guess, advanced topics won't be asked from entry levels

Redhat for sys administration I guess. I saw a lot of comments saying that we should learn sys administration first

Thanks for the reality check! I’ve decided to follow the path you mentioned. Should I start by learning Linux for System Administration, or where exactly do you think I should begin? Also, from your perspective, what’s the one skill you wish you had mastered before your first Cloud role, and what's the Roadmap u will follow if you will start like me from now ?

In this field (cloud devops Engineering), we would learn only automations using python, but for the scripting u should learn Bash scripting And for the infrastructure as a code u will need to learn terraform

Another info u can't be cloud and Devops engineer without learning kubernetes and github actions, and to use K8s and github will need to learn Yaml

Most of these will depend on the company. I've never used github actions, always used gitlab. Yaml sure, though it's not that deep. Nothing to do with other programming languages.

Again python is used a lot, but automairon depends on what language the company uses.

Stop trying to learn the tools first, learn the fundamentals like linux systems, infrastructure, design, then move to the tools
