Hello, Dev community! Fellow tech enthusiasts and cloud computing aficionados!

I’m Asif Khan, a recent Computer Science graduate (BSc ’22, MSc ’24) with a profound passion for cloud and its transformative potential in the tech world. Welcome to my weekly blog series, where I’ll be documenting my journey from a budding cloud engineer to an aspiring cloud architect.

Why This Blog?

As I navigate the vast and ever-evolving landscape of cloud computing, I’ve decided to share my learning journey for three main reasons:

1. To solidify my own learning: By articulating what I learn each week, I hope to reinforce my understanding and uncover areas that need more exploration.

2. To connect with the community: I’m eager to engage with fellow cloud enthusiasts, professionals, and learners. Your insights, feedback, and experiences will be invaluable as I grow in this field.

3. To contribute to the knowledge pool: As I learn, I want to give back. If my experiences and insights can help even one person in their cloud computing journey, I’ll consider this blog a success.

What to Expect

Each week, I’ll be learning about various aspects of cloud computing, including but not limited to:

· Networking fundamentals and cloud-specific networking concepts

· Operating systems and their role in cloud environments

· Virtualization technologies and containerization

· Database management in the cloud

· Hands-on with a major cloud platform (AWS)

Each week, I’ll be sharing a structured post that includes what I have learned, challenges, victories, and resources that I find helpful along the way. Expect a mix of technical deep-dives, practical tips, and reflections on the soft skills needed to succeed in this field.

Join Me on This Journey

I invite you to join me on this exciting journey. Let’s learn, grow, and innovate together in the cloud!

Feel free to comment, share your own experiences, or suggest topics you’d like me to explore. Your feedback is valuable and will help me improve the blog. You can also connect with me on LinkedIn/Twitter/GitHub to continue the conversation.

Here’s to the exciting world of cloud computing and the endless possibilities it holds!
