I can not tell you which is better. You will have to choose that path for yourself.
If you would like to follow the CompTIA certifications here is a great roadmap website.

no exactly, I want to specialize in cloud & network security but the question I ask myself and that I need help is that do I take the Cloud sector and I work the security labs to become and do "cloud security" or choose the cybersecurity sector then work the cloud labs and become "cloud security" you can see why I'm blocked
the 2 sectors have a different curriculum and chapters but I want to take the one that will lead me to what I want
that why i need an opinion on this
Both paths will honestly do you well, I imagine the content of both paths with be important. But I do see our main man Weet is typing and he might have some more insight
Lemme ask this, are you going to a school like WGU, where it's self-paced? If so, you could do one and then the other, just taking the difference in classes, which wouldn't be much. If it were me, personally, I'd probably elect to go the "cybersecurity path", as the education there can be extended into the cloud fairly easily. The same general principles apply. You could also pursue some cloud-specific certifications after the fact to help bolster your certifications.
Another way to look at it, is which aspect of "cloud security" interests you the most? The "cloud" part or the "security" part?
hey thank you for your opinions, so to answer you I am more sincerely interested in security but currently the cloud has become an asset and takes a big place in any company that's why I want to focus on cloud security
but to be honest I'm thinking of doing cybersec then doing certif for the cloud what do you think ?
I think that's a pretty good plan. Cloud is definitely a huge thing imo, but security is even bigger, and there's a huge shortage of skilled professionals. Cloud is more of a tool in the information technology tool belt but cybersecurity is a foundational pillar. Without it, everything would fall into disarray and collapse.
oops
i dropped a water bottle on my keyboard
Microsoft sometimes does free or cheap deals on their entry-level Azure certs, if I recall
haha np
yes , but actually i will focus in cybersec with palo alto and all those thing with cybersec and after graduation i will check the azure and Amazon clouds
anyways thank you for your time and your opinion it help me a lot !
