The Associate level certs and Amazon free tier?

It'd really help to know a programming language: Python, Ruby, Java, etc. - at least one of those.

Have a strong Linux background or pursue one. That takes longer than this proprietary cloud stuff that's one or another vendor's view of the world that you conform to.
