My brain is already fried, but I did it. Since my English level is not high, just following tutorials is hard. The translation is kind of bad, so I keep going back and forth.
I don’t have any background in IT, and I only started learning about computers last week.
I’ve been learning the very basics of computers and networking so far.
It’s been really difficult, but all I can do is keep going.
I’ve recently realized that I’m not very good at understanding abstract concepts.
I know this path is going to be really rough, but maybe…

I just started learning AWS yesterday.
I learned that AWS uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model.
If I publish a website using S3 as a portfolio, do I have to keep paying to keep it online, even when no one is viewing it?
I want to know how to prove that I can use AWS.
In many videos, people say that instead of only getting certifications, it’s better to build real projects because it helps you get jobs more easily.
I know this might be a beginner question, but I couldn’t get a clear answer from ChatGPT, so I’m asking here.

Hi, I’m Japanese, 25 years old. I’m learning IT to change my career, and I’ve recently become interested in cybersecurity. I’ve seen that CCNA is a good certification for getting an entry-level job, because apparently around 80% of security work is understanding networking.
I understand that getting certifications is not the ultimate goal, but I think it’s a good way to prove to companies that I have networking knowledge. So I thought starting with certifications while learning the basics would be a good approach as a beginner.
I checked YouTube, and I found some CCNA courses, but most of them were uploaded 5–6 years ago. So I was wondering: what is the best current course or resource to prepare for the CCNA exam today?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I started learning AWS two days ago, but I am struggling to understand the big picture. I am trying to change my career, and I am a complete beginner when it comes to computers, so I want to check if my understanding is correct.
From what I understand, a computer is made up of a CPU, memory, storage, networking devices, and sometimes a GPU.
At first, I imagined cloud computing like this.
AWS has separate pools of components such as CPU, memory, storage, networking, and GPU. Each category has many different options with different characteristics, for example CPU-A, CPU-B, CPU-C, Memory-A, Memory-B, and so on.
I thought cloud engineers would manually choose each part one by one and combine them to build a completely custom virtual computer on the cloud, similar to building a custom PC.
But now I think AWS mainly provides pre configured systems such as EC2 instance types, and users mostly choose from these existing combinations instead of building everything from scratch.
My current closest analogy is a McDonald’s set menu.
At first I thought it was like building a completely custom burger by choosing each ingredient individually. But now it feels more like choosing from set meals such as a Samurai Burger set or a Teriyaki Chicken set. You can still change things like the fries size or drink size, and you can also add side items if needed.
Since I am not very good at understanding complex concepts, I need to break things down into very simple explanations and use real world examples to understand them.
Does this way of thinking make sense, and is there a better analogy for understanding AWS and cloud engineering?

Hi. Now I’m trying to change my career and learning AWS since yesterday. I’m following the tutorial by freeCodeCamp.org on YouTube but he said it costed 3000 dollars with Redis settings without knowing. He also taught me how to not let it happen but still I’m really worried I always have to worry about what cost me a lot without knowing in the future. Since I’m not English native speaker, all of them are like spells.
He set the apart and set the budget 100 dollars but I don’t want to pay any dollars for now at least while I’m just learning how to use AWS.
And he keeps speaking specific terms endlessly so I have no idea what he’s talking about. Even I set it Japanese which is my native language, since most of them are just specific terms I still have no idea. I keep asking them Chat gpt but idk what they said is right or wrong because sometimes they occur hallucinations.
I want to know how you guys learn this by yourself at the beginning. I’m overwhelmed that’s because I can’t understand English very well? Or just it happens to every beginners.
If you’re a cloud engineer or IT field professional, please message me and I’d love to talk with you.

Hi, I’m 25 years old, from Japan. I’m working towards becoming colorists. To learn more about camera, I’d like to meet photographers or videographers in Japan. I live in Tokyo so if you also live in Tokyo, that’s the best.
It would be nice to walk around some beautiful places or explore the city while sharing knowledge. I can also teach you about Japan and the Japanese language. If you’re interested, feel free to send me a message!
