In this video, I emphasize the importance of specializing in one cloud platform for beginners in cloud computing. Spreading yourself too thin by trying to learn multiple platforms can dilute your skills and hinder job prospects. I highlight essential skills beyond cloud platforms, such as Linux, programming, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), which are crucial for success in cloud engineering. I also encourage hands-on project experience to build confidence and showcase expertise to potential employers.
