Could be that you are a visual leaner more than a reading learner. YouTube has a lot of good tutorials and info. And Udemy courses are often cheap - you could buy an AWS course and skip to the ECS section for example.

I will also echo the poster who mentions sandbox environments. Myself I am more of a hands on learner.

We all start somewhere, despite what management and other stakeholders sometimes think, nobody is born knowing all this stuff. Hang in there.

Thanks, that makes sense. However, sometimes it looks like some of the best engineer's I've worked with can get work done even before technology gets popular enough to have courses :)

Also, it can sometimes be hard to create sandboxes. It's easy for Prometheus, but maybe a bit harder to AWS (I tried LocalStack before).

Nevertheless it's all good advice, thanks!
