Appreciate your reply. Could you go over 'must have basic command over coding' in brief? I am not sure what all languages will one need to have an idea about and to what level ,this expertise can be expected. For example I am only aware of basic SQL commands, basic linux commands. Will that do? Or by having command over coding, you meant knowing Java, .NET, PHP etc.? Any answer will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hey @Neeraj, you'll definitely need to know the Linux commands, and python as AWS uses Boto which is based on python. Now rest of the programming language knowledge requirements will depend on what you are trying to do with AWS. Like if you need to build an application on AWS, you might need the knowledge of PHP, NodeJS, HTML, Angular, React, etc. 

But the best part about AWS is that it lets you perform all kinds of action with just configuring the service by just playing around with options which on-prem might require you to have strong programming skills.

Hi, I'm B.com graduate, but I have interest to learn cloud computing and make my career. I have done networking course but it was long back. Please suggest if I can go ahead

Hi@Pramod,

To start with Cloud computing you don't need as such prerequisites. You can start learning the basics of Cloud Computing. In the market, lots of companies have cloud services like AWS, GCP, etc. By according to me AWS is one of the simple and demanded clouds. You can start your journey with AWS CSA type of training.
