[en] What certification should I choose to start my journey towards the cloud? AWS, Azure or GCP?

Choosing the right certification largely depends on your career goals and the cloud service provider you want to work with.

Here I give you a brief description of each of the certifications and their corresponding providers to help you make an informed decision:

1. AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner: This certification is designed for professionals who want to understand AWS basics such as cloud architecture, core services, security, and best practices. This certification is offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
2. Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals: This certification is designed for professionals who want to understand the basics of Azure, such as cloud architecture, core services, security, and best practices. This certification is offered by Microsoft Azure.
3. Google Cloud Certified Cloud Digital Leader: This certification is designed for professionals who want to understand the basics of Google Cloud Platform, such as cloud architecture, core services, security, and best practices. This certification is offered by Google Cloud.

In terms of popularity, AWS and Azure are the two largest and most used cloud service providers in the market. Google Cloud Platform is also gaining ground in the industry, but it still does not have the same number of users as AWS and Azure worldwide, although Google Cloud Platform is very strong in South America and continues to gain ground on Microsoft in this race.

Ultimately, the decision of which certification to choose depends on your career goals and which cloud platform interests you most. While all certifications provide solid cloud knowledge, each cloud service provider has its own strengths and weaknesses. If you are interested in working with a specific provider, I would recommend considering their corresponding certification.
