I moved from the Oracle cloud free tier to the Azure cloud. I know Azure has all the options paid and there isn't much one can do with the free tier forever. And so I thought why not make the most out of the Azure.
I managed to create around 20 videos so far with the Azure cloud. I tackled variety of topics and also managed to connect some database outside the azure too.
Some services in the azure just work like plug and play. And you can literally get started very easily with the azure. Like say those VMs and the database are easy to setup and worked upon as well. Some of them would get you started in few minutes.
It's lot faster than setting things up on the desktop. You would install them on the cloud and the resources you can have is lot easier too. Some of the people who happen to make use of the azure for that are going to love the same.
Azure is kind of like easy to learn and remember too. If some things change name or change place. You can always move ahead with the available resources and stick things up with the azure pretty easily and don't have to worry about lot of things in mind.
You can learn a lot of skills for free with the azure. Like some of those databases and also the features which are some of the time you would be making use of for the CI/CD and the devops. All of that you can easily learn on cloud.
Azure would be a good option for you to learn all those small details and also it can earn you those skills lot quicker. You would make pretty decent progress in short time compared to other techs. Some people take forever to learn but it's easy.
I find the free trial paying off. But the data science stack is not free and it would require some income from my credit card to learn those things. Like the azure databricks etc. That would be not so easy to learn if you ask me.
I have 23 days left since today. So I have to make every cent count for the same. I am making like 3 videos minimum each of the skills that I am learning. And in near future those would be on the scheduler if you ask me.
I suppose if I can make use of these 23 days and things just worked out on my end that would set things up properly and I would have content wise enough to set myself in safe zone.
Have you tried azure? If not then it's worth trying this cloud skill.
