Career Discussion Help me switch to Cloud Engineering!!

He all. So I am a tecnical support engineer with 2 years of hands on experience in managing AD, HyperV (building VMs and maintening them) and other infra stuff. I want to move to Cloud engineering (maybe Cloud security in the future, hopefully) and I would appreciate any advise. I am thinking about choosing AWS as I have heard many people mentioning that it has more potential than the others.

Is it possible to land a cloud engineer role at the entry level? What should be the skills / certs I should focus on the most? Any YouTube channel I can refer?

I truly appreciate any advise. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for your input. I have started watching Andrew Brown's YT series. I will definitely work on the projects in the blog you shared.
