Starting a job in FinOps pivoting from GovCon (7 YOE as SFA). I ran aross Ben Van de Maas "Complete learning path to finops".

If you were basically starting from scratch on the technical side and FinOps side would you follow his path or is there another direction? I want to build solid fundamentals through an optimized learning path.
Learning path is basically,
Tech Fundamentals - https://learn.cantrill.io/p/tech-fundamentals
AWS Cloud Practioner - https://github.com/kananinirav/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner-Notes
AWS Certified Solutions Architect - https://learn.cantrill.io/p/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03
FinOps Foundation website + the Cloud FinOps Book by J.R. Storment

I'll have a great mentor to start but very much into self-study as well and want to make sure I'm setting my self up for a long successful career.
