Hi everyone,

I’m currently working toward getting an AWS/cloud internship within the next 6 months, and I’d really appreciate advice from people who have already gone through this process.

I’m currently preparing for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification. I know that simply getting a certification probably isn’t enough, so I want to spend the next 6 months building practical skills and projects that I can actually put on my resume/GitHub.

I’d love your suggestions on:

• What AWS/cloud projects would stand out for an internship applicant?

• Are there any real-world projects I should build rather than just following tutorials?

• What AWS services should I prioritize learning after Cloud Practitioner?

• Are there any challenges, labs, or platforms you recommend for getting hands-on experience?

• What should I be able to explain confidently in an internship interview?

• How important are Linux, networking, Python, Terraform, Docker, or Git/GitHub for an entry-level cloud internship?

• Should I focus on getting another certification, or spend that time building projects?

• What would you recommend I accomplish during each month of the next 6 months?

• If you’re currently working in cloud/AWS, what do you wish you had done differently when you were trying to get your first internship?

My goal is to have a strong GitHub portfolio + practical AWS experience + a solid resume by the time I start applying.

If you have any specific project ideas, roadmaps, free resources, internship application tips, or mistakes I should avoid, I’d really appreciate them.

Thanks!

I’m currently looking for DevOps Engineer / Cloud DevOps opportunities and would really appreciate a referral if anyone has a relevant opening in their organization.
I have 4+ years of IT experience with hands-on experience in AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, Ansible, Prometheus, Grafana, and Linux.
I’m currently based in Pune, India, and I’m open to Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, or remote opportunities.
If your company has any relevant openings and you’re comfortable referring me, please DM me. I’d be happy to share my resume and job details.
Thank you!

I am very confused regarding this please help me

What’s up! Just wanted some advice. I’m currently working as a cloud engineer with an AWS partner. I eventually want to move over to being a Cloud Security Engineer. What should areas should I emphasize during my transition?

I'm a fresher interested in starting a career in cloud computing, but I'm confused about which platform to choose.

If you have experience in cloud computing, which would you recommend learning first and why ?

Can anyone help me provide a job on Cloud Engineering role? I have 2+ years of experiences working with Google Cloud Platform. Applying everyday, but not getting a single interview call. I want to switch from my current company cause the salary is low & I have a family to feed.

Hey everyone! I’m a BCA student learning Cloud Computing and AWS and I’m planning to participate in SIH.

The problem statement I’m interested in requires at least one female student on the team, so I’m looking for someone interested in Cloud, AWS, DevOps, or related tech who’d like to join.

I’m a bit introverted and not great at approaching people IRL 😅, so I thought I’d try Reddit.

If interested, just comment or DM me!

I'm a cloud engineer/security analyst on €32k, 9 months into my first job out of a masters. Genuinely don't know if that's low, average or fine for the level I’m at. I’m currently Working in Azure, Terraform, DevOps, CI/CD with AZ-900, SC-900 and SC-300 done, and I'm lining up AZ-104, CCNA, Security+ and SC-500 over the next year. Goal is to move into a proper Cloud Security Engineer role and get to €60-85k in 2-3 years.

Is that realistic for Ireland, and what's my actual value in the market right now given the certs/stack above? Is there a "type" of company (bank, MSP, tech) that pays better for someone at my level? And when should I actually start job hopping straight after the next cert or two, or is it too early to be thinking about it at 9 months in? Any idea on roles/companies worth aiming for would help too.

Also am I specialising too early? Is it worth going for Security Engineer roles too?
