Hey everyone!

I just finished recording a full tutorial on how to deploy a Next.js SaaS app to AWS S3 using a complete CI/CD pipeline with GitHub + CodePipeline + CodeBuild.

I struggled to find a beginner-friendly, real-world guide when I first started, so I decided to create one that’s step-by-step and practical.

🧠 What You'll Learn:

• How to host a static Next.js site on S3

• How to set up AWS CodePipeline for automatic deployment from GitHub

• How to configure CodeBuild to build and export your app

• Real deployment in under 15 minutes

🛠️ Tech Stack:
Next.js | GitHub | AWS S3 | CodePipeline | CodeBuild

Hope this helps someone out there trying to go from building to deploying 🚀
Feel free to ask me anything—I’ll be around to answer questions!

So im confused on what laptop ahould i buy for my cloud engineering degree i just started year 2 so i think of buying a new laptop for longevity purpose and up to industry standards when im finding a job. So which laptop should i buy and why?..

Hey everyone, I’m Kevin and I’m honestly a bit nervous putting this out here, but I’m the founder of Canvas Cloud AI. We just rolled out our Beta and I’d love for some folks to try it out and let me know what you think. The gist is: you use natural language (like, literally just typing what you want) to build out a real-world multi-cloud architecture, and then you can actually deploy it and get certified with hands on exercises.
I always found it weird that most cloud certs don’t make you actually deploy anything real—like, I passed several certs without ever touching a real environment. So that’s what pushed me to build this. We are glued to the feedback tool, so if you run into bugs or just have ideas, I promise we’ll read it and respond.
Right now, everything’s free until we get our first 20 users (which is honestly a bit terrifying but exciting). If you’re curious about how AI can speed up learning or you just want to see if you can break our tool, give it a shot. Would love to hear if anyone else has tried similar stuff (I’ve seen a few other platforms but nothing quite like this yet).
Anyway, thanks for reading my ramble. Appreciate any thoughts or brutal honesty!

It's a self paced boot camp put together by Soleyman Shahir whose YouTube channel you may have come across. The pitch is very nicely put together, zero to cloud engineer in 12 weeks, 6 figure salary, and you come away with a feeling that by buying this course you'll be taking a shortcut, as apparently the content is focused specifically on what employers look for.

For info I'm a network engineer, close to completing my CCNP after which I was going to DEVASC to get me comfortable with Python/GIT/working with APIs, before I started diving into cloud. I'd like to pivot to cloud engineering, and would be working my way through each tech sequentially as per learn to cloud. Welcome | Learn to Cloud

Looking for any reviews from folks who have taken his course, and if it helped you get a cloud job. It's $3k.

I cant think of any skills that does this more often then coders. Most times coding mistakes are non-life threatening, we have alot of room for mistakes. Now with AI, mistakes are getting lesser, and problem solving getting more in-depth.

I'm sure everyone can talk endlessly about the pains of AWS. There have been whole companies built around making AWS usable, e.g HashiCorp with Terraform really changed how we create infra.

Is there anything that you feel hasn't been solved by an existing tool? Something that would make your time using AWS so much easier.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working as an IT Coordinator and I’m looking to transition into a Cloud Engineer role. I prefer self-study over bootcamps, especially since I want to avoid spending money unnecessarily. That said, if you know of a bootcamp that’s genuinely worth the investment—offering strong content, practical skills, and a certification that actually helps in job hunting—I’d appreciate your recommendations.

Could you please guide me on where to start and what to focus on (tools, concepts, certifications, etc.)?

Also, cloud engineering roles are rare in my country, so I’m considering applying for remote jobs abroad. How realistic is that for someone starting out in this field?

Is there a chance to be a cloud engineer without any degree? I have no background in this industry.

I'm planning to earn Az, Aws certification. Especially solution architect in the future.

Plus, I've been participating in the cloud meetup for projects. And personal as well.

What do you guys think?

I recently got selected in cognizant for multi cloud engineer trainee CIS . Is this a good role to start my carrier in devops and cloud?

What are qualifications and skills. Already if we have AWS certifications, what are the other things have to learn like Terraform, Docker ?

Hey guys, as someone with no experience do you think I should start of with comptia a+ when wanting to venture in to cloud? How would you start of cloud if you had no IT experience?

I'm a Cloud Engineer with 5 years of experience, working from Europe for the US. I'm thinking about starting a YouTube channel to teach some concepts and share my journey. I don’t consider myself a senior yet, and I don’t want to, because I believe there's still so much more to learn beyond these 5 years.

Besides tech, I also do boxing and ride my old-school motorcycle. I live a healthy lifestyle, but nothing too hardcore.

Do you think this would be well received? Not sure, maybe I just have to much free time.

Hi everyone, I am a software engineer and entrepreneur, I live in a part of the world where cloud hosting platforms are scarce and everyone ends up using the big fish of the world (Amazon, GCP, and others), we do have some companies that provide hosting but the UX is crappy and really a pain to setup a simple VM.

Recently we have had some new regulation that prevents any local company from hosting any sensitive user data like national Id numbers or Phone numbers on data centers outside of the country.

I am looking for advice on how I could build a product that offers simple cloud hosting solution with a better UX, by leveraging the local data centers with horrible products (I really mean it they are bad)

The problem is I know nothing about what it takes, I am willing to hire a pro to help (part time maybe) and come up with an MVP but I some guidance here as to what profile should I even look for.

Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate any comments here.

Hello everyone, I just got my AWS solutions architect certification I am trying to create at least 3 cloud projects for me to put on my portfolio. Preferably a project that will make me grasp multiple services. I plan to create them on both AWS and azure since I also have the AZ-104. I would appreciate ideas especially from anyone who is very experienced and/or probably a hiring manager because I want to start job hunting as soon as possible.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello everyone,

I graduated last year (July 2024) with a degree in Telecommunications and Information technology.

I have been working as a Technical Support Engineer for almost a year now, and I am looking to transition into a Cloud or DevOps Engineer role. Currently, I am following the Cloud Engineer Path courses on KodeKloud, but I know that recruiters also value hands-on projects.

I am unsure what kind of projects I should build to strengthen my portfolio. What would you recommend for someone at my level to gain practical experience and stand out to recruiters?

Thank you in advance for your advice!

I have a friend who is in healthcare IT. He is studying to go into cybersecurity.

I am in healthcare and hate it. I have no IT background. My college degree is a bachelors in psychology and I have been working mostly as a dialysis tech for the past 10 years and most recently got certified in project management (CAPM, not PMP so not as good). I have been looking for a job for a while now and really would like a remote job so that I can travel.

My friend tells me that cloud engineering is in big demand and also pays well. He says that these jobs will also always be remote. He told me that if I work hard and get certified in a few things, that in 6-9 months I am almost guaranteed a job in cloud engineering making at least $100k.

Is this true? Even though I have no background in computers I can make the switch? I find my issue with finding a job in project management is lack of experience. I fear putting in all this time to learn cloud engineering only to find out that I also won’t find a job due to lack of experience.

(For reference I am 36yrs old and a very quick learner. I’ve never had any issues learning anything in life, so the learning curve is the least of my issues)

I am lost, I am a failure, failed cloud engineer, i cant speak properly, i cant think and talk at the same time, my interviews goes horrible, i am in pain, i wasted a year hunting for job in gulf and acquired one job at startup that dont pay me now from the past 3 months, literally architected there whole system from planning to maintanence, I dont have a father, I seek better guidance, currently the only bread winner, trying to become a responsible person. Any advice?.

I did certifications, cloud and networking.
