I’m an IT support specialist trying to transition into a junior cloud role (AWS/Azure). I’ve passed a couple of certifications, but every entry-level posting still wants 2–3 years of direct cloud experience. What roles or titles are actually helping people successfully break in? And what can I do in my applications to better my chances?

This is a common gap. Roles like cloud support, platform support, NOC, DevOps support, or junior SRE often act as the bridge. In applications, focus less on certs alone and more on hands on projects, tickets you handled, migrations you supported, and how you used cloud tools in real scenarios.

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.
