Tech With Soleyman ✅
The first teacher of our list is a youtuber whose name is Tech With Soleyman. And boy, this man deserves credit—he alone managed to convince me to switch career.
At the time, I needed a remote engineer job and thought of going into Data Engineering. A brief demand analysis had convinced me that Tech was the present, especially Data Science. However, another job often popped on LinkedIn too. And there were much less candidates. This was the famous “Cloud Engineer” role.
Check out my two other articles:

How to analyse the job market?
That is about when I discovered Soleyman’s youtube channel. His impressive success story would make anyone want to try and emulate his achievements.
Don’t believe me, check by yourself! If his speech does not inspire you, I don’t know what can! He knows how to introduce the Cloud and that’s exactly what we want from him. He’s the greatest guy to make you start your Cloud Journey. He will show you that yes, it’s possible to be hired in three months only. His advices are also precious, especially the “learn by doing” one.

(Bonus) Simplilearn & Others ✅
Before you get accustomed to Cloud services, there will be hundreds of questions you ask yourself. Unless you have worked in the Tech industry, chances are you’ll have to learn everything from scratch. Perhaps you already know how to code. It would be great. Or maybe, as I did a few months back, you are wondering: “what is a server..?”
It’s actually quite interesting to learn about today’s world. Did you know that the internet is spread worlwide using cables? That behind the “Cloud” hide thousands of super-servers? Or that 94% of all enterprises use Cloud services? While learning about Cloud computing, there will be so much knowledge you gather. It’ll make family dinners more enjoyable.
Tip: Whenever you do not know a concept, look for it on Youtube. Accept all the videos under 10 minutes.
