• Dude talks about all the hero stories in IT then the other guy begins to tell the biggest Goldilocks hero story I've ever heard lol.

• Great video!!

• Do I need CompTIA Linux+ or Cloud+ certs? Any advice?

• 10-20 we are dealing with more satellite and inner and outer space and planetary connections.

• Hi I've been tuning into your podcast and YouTube channel for some time. I'd like to ask if there is a tech lay off that would threaten my career change.

• Much respect for this guy for giving us the genuine info we need to know

• I say all the time the most wide spread problem in cloud is most people working in the cloud dont understand networking.

• He is 110% right. Dont be a cloud engineer. Be an engineer that does things in the cloud.

• I agree 100%

• Hey Dakota. Current IBEW member here going for my E2 license this year. Last week a spokesman for a state funded IT program came to my church to introduce us to some of the many programs and certifications (CompTIA) that they’re freely offering through a multimillion dollar grant that concludes next year 2025. Since then I’ve been doing a lot of research and watching videos from content creators like yourself about tech. I have little to no experience in the IT world but am definitely interested in getting into Cybersecurity. Any advice for someone like me who has minimal knowledge of tech but would like to transfer over from a career as an electrician to something like a SOC Analyst? And also can you touch on finances as well? My gross salary is around $70k right now (before I get my E2), but if I do transition over I’d want to be able to at least match what I’m currently taking home

• Literally I had the same I idea in getting a Bachelors of Network Engineer with also being good with cloud getting certifications. Watching this video convinced me even more to stick with that route. Thank you.

• Great info and very inspiring.

  In 1997 by working hard, I obtained the highest cert level at CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert) in Routing & Switching

  Yet today I'm reinventing this old dog to learn new tricks and obtained my AWS SAA this January. I'm more excited and eager about the cloud ☁️ and it's future potentials (AI, etc.).

  Here's to passion and always being a student of the [IT] game! 🍻

• I want to point out preparing a career as a Cloud Engineer role has a very steep learning curve. Its alot more you have to know beside learning cloud platforms. What is never talked about is the fundamentals which is the Fondational skill set's you must already know as a Real Cloud Engineer Automates deployements of an infrastructure through what as called IAC (Infrastructure As Code). Essential skills that are necessary that you must know is Linux, Networking, Security, Databases, Programming, Scripting, DevOps tools like ansible, packer, terraform, understand Kubernettes and Containers, Virtualization, Version Control systems. It's almost need sysadmin background as lot of Cloud and DevOps Engineers come from Sysadmin or Dev roles. You are also going to need to know Generative AI now that AIOps and MLOps is here.

• I didn't expect much from the Cybersecurity interview last year but after giving it a chance, I enjoyed and learned quite a bit from the interview.
  
  Thank you for sharing.
  
  I'm at a crossroads & I'm torn between Cybersecurity & Software QA Analyst. Do you know or have you heard of any QA courses out there?
  
  I'm currently in Collections & I need to Pivot into something positive.
  
  Any assistance/suggestion you would like to share would be appreciated.

• Great interview! ❤❤❤

• Found this very informative being a college student and still trying to find out what I want to focus on in the cloud 🔥🔥

• Great why to spend my lunch, great video.

• Great video. Thank you.
