I’m trying to break into the cloud space on the technical side of things. I have a background in Cyber, switched to QA but now want to switch to cloud. What’s the best way to approach this and what certifications are preferred between AWS and Azure.

Cloud is a pretty wide field. What do you want to do in cloud?

I'd start off with 2 certs:
- AWS solutions architect
- Azure Fundamentals

That should give you a baseline understanding of what cloud is and what all you might want to focus in on.
