Many freshers in Bangalore ask where to begin with cloud. The word “AWS” covers more than 200 services, so it is easy to get lost. The good news: you only need a handful of them to start, and a clear order makes the first month far less confusing. Here is the plan we suggest to beginners.
Week 1: Linux and networking basics
Almost every cloud server runs Linux. Practise moving around the file system, editing files, managing users and permissions, and checking running processes. Add the networking ideas you will meet every day: IP addresses, ports, DNS and the difference between public and private networks.
Week 2: Core AWS services
Create a free-tier account and learn four services well: IAM for users and permissions, EC2 for virtual servers, S3 for storage and VPC for networking. Launch a server, connect to it, host a simple web page and then shut everything down. Set a billing alert on day one so practice never costs you money by surprise.
Week 3: Git, scripting and your first pipeline
Put your code in Git, write a short shell script that automates a setup task, and build a basic CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins or GitHub Actions that deploys your page whenever you push a change. This is where cloud starts to feel like DevOps.
Week 4: Containers
Package your app with Docker, run it locally, then run it on EC2. Once that is comfortable, read how Kubernetes schedules containers. You do not need to master Kubernetes in month one, but you should be able to explain why teams use it.
How to show what you learned
Keep one GitHub repository with a README that explains the architecture in plain words, with a simple diagram. In interviews, walking through one small project you built yourself is more convincing than listing many services. Gen AI assistants can help you read error messages and draft scripts, but make sure you understand every line before you use it.
