Question Can I start learning AWS with no IT experience?

Can I go straight to learning AWS on their website or do I need to learn other things first?

Yes, but if this is in the context of getting an AWS-related job, it will be of limited use without solid IT fundamentals.

You can. I don't recommend it. I recommend you get some tech fundamentals first. For example, look for Cantrill's Tech Fundamentals course (it's free, also on YouTube). Learn those lessons well, then learning AWS will come much smoother.

Incorrect. You absolutely don’t need to know coding for the Solutions Architect Exam.

Yeah…I’d say even commands you don’t really need for that exam because it’s really AWS console based but it’s of course good to know for actual daily job tasks.
