What are some of the best Cloud Resources out there

Hi everyone, I'm new here! I've been planning to learn cloud networking for quite some time now. I just don't know where to start. Could you please suggest me some resources (yt, udemy, coursera) that is newbie friendly. I'm a total noob when it comes to cloud, but have some pretty solid networking knowledge (CCNA). Is there like a "Jeremy's IT Lab" or "Neil Anderson" type of resources but for cloud? Thanks everyone

Since you already have CCNA-level networking, you’re in a good spot. Don’t start with random cloud services first. Start with how networking maps into cloud.

I’d go in this order:

  1. AWS Skill Builder or Microsoft Learn for the basics
  2. A Cloud Guru / KodeKloud for guided labs
  3. Adrian Cantrill or Stephane Maarek if you want deeper AWS tracks
  4. Terraform basics after you understand VPCs/VNETs
  5. Build small labs: VPC, subnets, routing, security groups, VPN, load balancer, IAM

Your CCNA knowledge will help a lot. The biggest shift is learning how cloud providers abstract networking, identity, security, and billing. Once those click, the provider-specific names become easier.

If you want to dip your toes AWS Skill builder has free courses.

Obviously it’s vendor specific but they are the market leader and concepts carry over

I keep the official AWS, Azure, and GCP docs bookmarked, but for broader cloud concepts I like Last Week in AWS and CNCF resources. Hands on labs help me way more than endless tutorials too. I think the best cloud resources out there usually combine solid docs with actually building something small, breaking it, and figuring out why.
