I'm considering taking an online course to learn how to use Docker and Kubernetes specifically on AWS, but my main concern is whether the skills I gain from that will be transferable to managing K3s installations on my own servers. In Nepal, job opportunities in the cloud sector are scarce, so I want to make sure that what I learn can be applied to on-premises hosting. Would buying a course on Kubernetes for AWS help me when working with my own Linux VMs?

I suggest getting a couple of mini desktops or even repurposing old machines with a Linux distro. Setting up your own K3s cluster this way will give you hands-on experience that’s really valuable for on-prem management.
I wouldn't recommend learning K8s through AWS courses if you want to manage a K3s setup. Instead, check out the 'K8s the Hard Way' guide for a more hands-on understanding of Kubernetes. It’s crucial for building a solid foundation.
You can skip paid courses; there's a ton of free content available on YouTube and blogs that will help you. Since you plan on using K3s, it makes sense to stick to resources specifically focused on it.
