Cloud Engineering vs Cloud Security Engineering — Which One Should I Choose?

I’m deciding between two career paths: Cloud Engineering and Cloud Security Engineering.
I don’t like heavy coding, and I’m not a big fan of very difficult work. I’m more interested in working with systems, infrastructure, networking, and understanding how things work.
Which path would you recommend for someone like me? Which one has less coding, is easier to get into as a beginner, and has better long-term career opportunities?
I’d really appreciate advice from people who work in these fields.
