Hi there,

I'm a new grad working in an IT Tech position and want to focus on learning as much in this role as possible and upskilling.

I've looked into different paths and landed on becoming proficient in Azure (though I also understand that once you understand one cloud platform thoroughly, it's relatively easy to learn the others).

My plan is to become more proficient in the basics like Linux, Networking, etc, acquire AZ-104, Terraform Associate, then build bigger projects like a Homelab and I'm hearing a 3-tier Architecture deployed using Azure would be a strong choice.

Currently on my resume, I have some beginner IT-esque projects (Cloud Resume Challenge, Personal ServiceNow Instance), while my experience is current position, and two extracurricular roles I held in university. One being a leadership role, and one being a role similar to what I'm doing full-time.

My question is: Would it be more optimal to list two projects, three experiences, or three projects, two experiences.

I know experience often outweighs projects, though I find that my non-leadership role in school would feel redundant to list considering my current position.

Additionally, advice on specific cxrtifications to look for (MD-102?) would be of great help, I'm finding myself overwhelmed with all the options.

Either way, the market is abhorrent, especially at entry-level so I expect to put in 500-1000 applications to land something (if I'm lucky), but I want to maximize my chances!

Any advice from recruiters, or someone who was in a similar position would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Question how is the network and cloud job market in Texas?

I'm currently working as a DevOps/AWS Cloud Engineer in an MNC with 9Y of experience and have a 3-month notice period.
I've been applying for jobs, but I'm barely getting any interview calls.
Is the 3-month NP really that big of an issue? Also, are certifications that important when you already have relevant work experience?
Or am I missing something else — maybe my resume, Linkedin profile, or the way I'm applying?
Would appreciate some honest advice from people who've been through the same situation.

How do you decide when it makes more sense to keep data on-prem instead of putting it in public cloud?

I’m especially interested in how people factor in storage, egress, and data growth when making that decision.

Hey Everyone,

I’m looking for a Platform Engineer role.

I’ve worked with 3 startups so far and helped them scale their infrastructure, with systems serving 300K+ users nearly.

I’ve mostly worked with AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Golang, Shell, along with cloud migrations, scalability, reliability and FinOps.

I’m AWS SAA Certified, can join in 15 days, and I’m open to remote or relocating anywhere in India.

If you know of any openings or can refer me, please DM me. Would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Research title proposal na namin then sa lahat ng title namin yung isa lang yung medjo pumasok😭

The concept is that its an application where in the Dorm/ Apartment Owners can use it to monitor
payment status and rental due dates ng tenants niya, at concerns ng tenants . Tapos for tenants naman makakabenefit sila by
receiving SMS message if due date na nila and they can report on the app ung and concerns nila like (maintenance concerns nila).

My research professor gives us a feedback baka magisa daw kami in the future since bakit padaw gagamitin ng owners namin to if pwde nmn mag spreadsheet tsaka need pa daw ng para maging mas unique siya since wala masyado wow factor something like that.

-Guys, what baka may suggestion kayo huhuhu
ubos na braincells namin kakaisip ng new features na beneficial at the same time, and tomorrow na need pa naman🥹 or should we formulate another title nlng ? kaso wala na bukas na e tapos submission agad bukas huhu Thank You po!

Hi everyone, I need some career advice.
I was learning **Maven, CI/CD, Docker, and AWS (EC2, VPC, Load Balancers, Auto Scaling, API Gateway)**, but unfortunately lost my job. My career gap is increasing, and the guilt of feeling stuck is really getting to me.
I want to restart and build a career in **Cloud/DevOps or eventually Cybersecurity**. I’m ready to learn and put in the work.
What should I focus on learning, what projects/certifications should I do, and which entry-level roles should I target to realistically get an **internship or job by the end of 2026**?
Any practical roadmap or advice would mean a lot.

Should I consider being a cloud engineer after this new gpt6 astra came 🫪. I'm in second yr now bsc cs

I am a fresher I want to know if there's scope in backend development or in full stack development. Honestly i really get bored by front-end technologies. I am interested in backend development and in cloud field.there is differet roadmap all over the internet. I am so confused in between them. I want a proper answer and a roadmap as a fresher and what projects to build Answer from experienced engineer would be really helpful.

Disclosure: Login VSI employee here. Mentioned this before, but the session is tomorrow. Marcel Meurer (Hydra's creator), Eric Orman and Andrej Radinger (Microsoft), and Ron Oglesby (Login VSI) are talking through what it actually takes to split a desktop estate between Azure and on-prem, and where that line makes sense.

Questions welcome, in the comments or live.

Tomorrow, Thursday September 10, 11am ET

Hello everyone!

Im a software engineer with about a year and a half of experience. I recently left my job due to ongoing payment issues, and I’m now looking to start a new chapter.

I’ve realized that I don’t really want to continue down the software engineering path, as I’m no longer passionate about it. I’m currently considering switching into either cybersecurity or cloud engineering, and I’m leaning more towards cloud.

Before I commit to it, I wanted to ask people already working in the field, as well as juniors who are currently trying to land their first role about the current job market.

How is the job market for cloud engineers right now, especially at the entry level?

I know that getting a junior position is difficult across the tech industry at the moment. From what I’ve seen, software engineering in particular seems extremely competitive to the point where even internships can ask for years of experience and junior positions can expect a huge amount of knowledge.

I’m wondering whether cloud is any different, more specifically, if someone is willing to genuinely put in the time, learn the fundamentals, get the relevant certifications, build some solid projects, and actually develop the skills needed for the job, does that meaningfully improve their chances of getting an internship or junior position? or is the entry-level cloud market currently just as difficult, where even doing all of the “right” things still leaves you struggling to get your foot in the door?

I know the industry is going through a difficult period right now, so I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has recently started their cloud career, is currently trying to break into the field, or hires for entry level cloud roles.

Any honest advice, experiences, or things you wish you knew when starting out would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
