Hi,
I am kinda stuck with traditional network engineering stuff and feel left out compared to Cloud Network Engineers who get really well in today's technological era
My question is -
What immediate steps or certifications I can take to transition my career? Example aws gcp others
I have 6 years of exp as Network Engineer, with ccnp done, python beginner level.
Please post any useful websites or courses or author/mentor names, even paid options are fine.
Thank you

And what approach you taking... I mean doing aws or gcp cloud courses online.... Or any other approach?
We can surely try to help each other.
I took aws route last year , prepped for associate exam, took it and failed. One thing I noticed that there is very little scope for networking alone but overall cloud wise , it's a good path. But not sure that skill alone will help you land a good job unless you are a dedicated solution architect for aws cloud. I may be wrong but someone can correct me.
I am very open to to try to help each other out, and find proper path, as I feel I took a wrong step joining my current company and kinda stuck there cause of my H1B visa and literally zero visibility of other network Engineers.
