AWS vs Azure vs GCP: Which to Learn First?
AWS (33% global cloud market share): Highest job postings in India — 3–4× more than Azure on Naukri/LinkedIn. Best first choice for Punjab freshers.
Certifications: AWS Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02, $100 exam fee, 1–2 months prep) then AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03, $150, 3–4 months, most in-demand cert in India).
Azure (22% market share): Strong in enterprises using Microsoft products. Second choice — add AZ-900 Fundamentals after AWS CCP to double eligible job pool.
GCP (11% market share): Best for data engineering (BigQuery) and AI/ML (Vertex AI). Third priority.
Recommended path from Punjab: AWS CCP then AWS SAA-C03 then Azure AZ-900.

FAQ
Q: Do I need programming before cloud? Not for AWS CCP or Azure AZ-900 (console-based). For Solutions Architect: basic Linux helps. For DevOps Engineer certification: Python scripting needed.
Q: Are cloud jobs available locally in Amritsar or Jalandhar? Limited locally — cloud skills are primarily for remote jobs from Punjab. A cloud/DevOps engineer working for a Bangalore company while living in Amritsar is the most common success path.
