Cloud Career Essentials

Microsoft Azure Essentials started off as a series of free ebooks (two of them published in 2016 are still relevant today) on a variety of Azure topics. Expanding on that theme there is great new content on the Azure Essentials microsite

The Career Essentials section on that site defines different roles, primary and secondary skills needed to take up the roles and learning content with a Progress Tracker to track your progress in accomplishing those skills

Google Cloud Platform similarly defines Learning Tracks that you can pick based on your technical background and area of interest.

Irrespective of the certification exam, the outline defined in the Exam Guides for various Google Cloud Certifications is so good that it can also be used for assessing skills required for other public clouds too.

The AWS Certifications site offers four role-based paths - Cloud Practitioner, Architect, Developer, Operations

The structured learning road-map offered by each of these popular public cloud providers can aid individuals in choosing which path works best for them.
