| I recommend getting a subscription to something like oreilly.com so you can get access to official books and videos from vendors to go through the following certification material. As what you are wanting to do is not covered in introductory courses or covered in depth enough with the free options and you will need the good stuff in order to be able to be confident and not mess things up very badly.
https://www.oreilly.com/ Key here will be to go through the material and study it, and implement what you learned. You can sit for the actual exams if you want at a later time. These will give you an expert foundation as if you mess it up you could cause an outage and require someone else to come in and do the work for you. Though if you do find yourself overwhelmed it is probably best to have a consultant come in and do this for you instead as this could be outside your current capabilities and experience. It is best as a growing engineer to know when you don't know something or acknowledge something being out of your depth and asking for help vs taking on something too big for you at the time and failing hard for it. It is also easier to move forward and gain trust of your company to have someone else that is experienced in this type of work come in and take care of it quickly vs trying to learn all of this in a short time and increase the of risk factor of project failure. Either way this should be a great learning experience and the following should help you out with it.
