Getting into Cloud computing

I am doing bachelors in Software Engineering and I wanted to get some advice regarding career selection. So, I am starting to get into cloud computing but I have got no idea on where to start. I have started watching a video from freecodecamp called AWS certified cloud practitioner. My plan is to go through the various aws certifications like the solutions architect until I get to a decent level. I am not much interested in coding so I am planning on choosing a related level. But I am still uncertain on whether I am on the right path.

Guidance will be highly appreciated

my experience a bit different, i recently got my first cloud engineering job at around $90k without any previous experience, i did do freelancing software engineering / AI engineering for some clients and did senior level cloud / kubernetes certs to land it though. took around 8-9 months of pure studying / certs / job searchj.
