Cloud Career Planning

Good plan, but seems a little cert heavy towards azure. Don't get me wrong if you can accomplish all of that you will be in great shape! I just think it's a little ambitious. On the azure side, I'd work on azure administrator first (which is more professional level) and then try to tackle CCSK. You will show yourself as a cloud security asset by only taking two tests and probably little effort as you mentioned you work with Cloud technology every day.
Also, the job competition is very weak right now in this field, the quicker you can cert up on two easy certs, the quicker you can land a job you want. IMO even with those two certs, you'll find a job in 2-3 weeks max. If you had the whole gauntlet mentioned here you would probably be looking at 2-3 hours max lol

I'm not sure you need a course on CCSK the material is very minimal. I would just buy practice tests and read through the 100ish page pdf.

it looks that way at quick glance, but it's actually:
2 Azure certs (1 azure, 1 azure security)
4 AWS certs (that single AWS course includes 73.5 hours video, 412 lectures)
1 general cloud security cert
1 devops skill building course -

Good point, I'll take that into consideration.

Heh, that's good to know. Better than I thought then!

This one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/exam-AZ-103.aspx
versus the 300 and 301?

Yes. Believe it or not just having Azure Administrator and security cert will get you to almost any interview. You can then leverage more advance topics in your interview.

Revised OP after latest community feedback.

I'm a bad one to ask for this because I only have my RHCSA. I don't know why I don't do more certs, I still do all of the learning for these things, Im just not a good test taker so I think that makes me hold back a lot when I look at this stuff.
