Learning cloud technologies is a daunting task.
A typical place to start is with certifications, giving you some practical knowledge and a badge for your resume. But where to start?
AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud all have certifications. Too many certifications in fact. Microsoft and AWS have a combined 22 different certifications along multiple paths.
What if you chose poorly? How do you prepare? And how do you deal with failure?

We discuss:
