3 STEPS to getting started

1. 🤔 REVIEW - this Repo and FAQ
   • this repo is a companion to my 'Cloud Careers and Certifications` - link course on LinkedIn Learning or Lynda.com course. It is designed to be a first course for those who are new working with public cloud services
   • ❓ FAQ - here are the top 10 questions students ask about learning-cloud - link
2. 🤔 SELECT a cloud vendor (AWS, GCP...), set up a free trial (test) account for learning
   • See the main file in each vendor folders for links
     • for AWS go to \AWS folder -> README.md
     • for GCP go to \GCP folder -> README.md, etc...
   • Set up MFA (multi-factor authentication) on the root user account for your trial cloud account to protect against account misuse by others

   • pick a scenario or service to start learning
   • build your project on the cloud and Learn...repeat!
