Shit, now I know how people made so much money doing FedRAMP Avaya cloud shit.
Don't worry about the stressing fren. You can get boned in other ways though. Fed consultants often get stuck in a situation where you have to sit on your hands (getting paid) while the Fed unfucks their project management. That is not uncommon at all.
You can't go wrong with the "Learn PowerShell In A Month of Lunches" series. The latest book has just been released, albeit with new authors attached, so I can't attest to its quality, but you should get an eBook copy of the Third Edition bundled with it, which is top notch.

Same shit at a company I was poached from a contracting firm working at homeland. Went to sit in a scif to help spin up a new program. Shit went sideways. 10 months of sitting by myself 8 hours a day. Read all of ice and fire all of Malazan. Fucking boring. Fed contracting is a god damn joke. If it pays more. Fucking take it.

One guy I knew got brought on as an app developer in a SCIF for the DOD except once he started the project kind of died. So he had to go into the SCIF everyday and do nothing while they sorted it out. After 6 months of that he quit because he was bored.
Welcome to life buddy.
Get people of all types in IT. Our mail server admin started out in the company as a secretary, as did the two help desk women. Main server admin barely passed college w CS degree but could do anything and with his eyes closed. Actually with his eyes closed. He was the king of scripts and would sleep overnight as they ran.
I've been on the other side of hiring for a few years now. It's hard to get these kinds of candidates into interviews. You can try but its a hard no a lot of the time. No undergrad at all? Most corporate would never consider it.
Friend of mine works for a company that was purchased by a larger one. Retirement age went from 55 to 65 and benefits reduced.
Depending on how things are set up, it could run on your existing hosting. Otherwise, you should be able to get hosting anywhere, but the specifics of what you need your host will depend on what you're doing with it. I would probably get some recommendations from whoever is building it for you along with a list of requirements. (With the caveat that if they want to also sell you hosting too, find someone else.) Also, for whatever it's worth, I would never use GoDaddy for anything important.
Excuse me! Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, RFC8555 and ACME?

Won't work, the certs have be installed in specific places in specific applications that only work correctly if you follow specific procedures to install them via management web interface, services restarted in specific order to bind the certificates to specific services, or certificates have to be bound to specific profiles that apply to specific network interfaces, etc.Excuse me!
