A rough learning plan can help stay on track:
1. Week 1–2: Learn what cloud computing is, how it works, and key services
2. Week 3–5: Try out services on a platform like AWS—launch a server, store files, build a basic app
3. Month 2: Learn about tools like Docker (for containers), GitHub (for code), and CI/CD (for automation)
4. Month 3–4: Explore security, monitoring, and best practices for real-world cloud setups
Sites like GitHub even offer open-source cloud learning roadmaps made by developers.
