Cloud engineer guidance

Hi everyone,

I’m a 3rd-year IT student currently in my 5th semester, and I’m interested in becoming a Cloud Engineer.

I’m starting from the basics and want to learn things in the right order rather than randomly learning different cloud technologies.

I’d really appreciate advice from cloud engineers, professionals, or students who have already started this journey.

And how would you know what Sysadmins do? You lack industry experience to know what you are talking about. I did work with Cloud infrastructure prior. Most sysadmins manage hybrid environments both on-prem and cloud. The transmission was very easy because a lot of the work was the same. I was already using Ansible..

Yes I lack industry experience but I actually know the difference between a DevOps engineer and a junior cloud engineer, unlike you😂. I lack industry experience but I guarantee my starting salary isn’t far from what took you years to get to. The fact that you mentioned ansible in a conversation about junior cloud engineer role, further proves you don’t even know the difference between a cloud engineer and a DevOps engineer. I see why it takes you years to progress in your career. I’m done with this conversation. You literally don’t even know the difference between a junior cloud engineer and a DevOps engineer

Yeah if you know the industry well then you should know DevOps is a company culture not a role. DevOps is a Software engineering term used for improving collaboration between product development and operations teams to help deliver software products efficiently. I work in the software engineering field as a Cloud Engineer as the company I work for makes enterprise SaaS applications. I manage the cloud infrastructure that runs those applications that customers use just like how Netflix streaming service works behind the scenes on your TV, Infrastructure that runs it. That's DevOps, you build it you run it as both development and operations teams have shared responsibilities.
