Noob looking for advice for mysql dba career

[Zach Ellis]

Hello all that take the time to read this and thank you for doing so. I'm self teaching my self to be a dba started about 4 - 5 months ago. Started with PostgreSQL through books, free-code-camp course and mostly the manual spent around 2 months learning the basics then took the EnterpriseDB Certified PostgreSQL 13 Associate Certification as a personal milestone. Passed it now im working toward the MySQL 8.0 Database Administrator cert for my next milestone Ive decided to choose mysql. To focus on and to become proficient with it. Currently using the MariaDB fork on AWS ec2 instances to practice with and to get practice with Linux commands and such. If anyone has any advice and wants to get good karma points for helping a noob out im all ears and will be eternally gratefully.

Thank you for your time
