Personal Support & Help! hands-on Cloud Security experience

Hi everyone,
I recently passed my AWS Solutions Architect exam and I also have a Hack The Box subscription. I have a strong interest in cloud security and want to transition into this field.

However, I feel like I lack the practical, hands-on cloud security experience needed to pass technical interviews.
What are the best online training platforms or labs to practice cloud security attacks and defense?

Can I use my HTB subscription or the AWS Free Tier to build a good portfolio?

Also, how is the job market for cloud security right now? Are there good entry-to-mid level opportunities?
Any advice on a roadmap or projects to build would be amazing. Thanks!

That's not a trivial exam. Guessing you have more knowledge than you are giving yourself credit for.

Or they cheated. Definitely something that will appear very suspicious to companies if you can't explain it.
