Learning Cloud the DevOps

#devops #productivity #aws #career

Hey DevOps & Cloud learners!

This week, I’m going back to basics:no automation, no heavy tools, just hands-on cloud practice with AWS. If you’re also starting out, this might help you too..

My Cloud Plan for the Week (Simple & Practical):

Day 1 – Launch an EC2 instance from AWS Console

Day 2 – SSH into the instance & explore the Linux environment

Day 3 – Install NGINX & serve a custom HTML page

Day 4 – Create an S3 bucket & upload files

Day 5 – Use AWS CLI to manage EC2 & S3 from the terminal

🧰 Tools I'm Using:

AWS Free Tier
Linux Terminal & SSH
AWS Console
AWS CLI
NGINX

Why I’m Doing This:
Before diving into IaC, CI/CD, and Kubernetes, I want to understand the foundation. Cloud concepts make a lot more sense when you see them in action manually.
