In the last decade, cloud computing has shifted from a "nice-to-have" to an essential technology for businesses. This significant change has heightened the demand for IT specialists who can manage cloud migrations and handle related tasks.
Cloud engineers are IT professionals responsible for all technical aspects of cloud computing. They design, plan, manage, maintain, and support an organization’s cloud infrastructure, and explore options for transitioning various functions, such as database storage, to cloud-based systems. They also ensure smooth migration and continuous operation of these functions on the cloud.
To succeed in this role, cloud engineers must have strong technical skills, the ability to negotiate with vendors, and a focus on data security. The term "cloud engineer" covers several specialized roles, including:
Cloud Architect: Designs and structures cloud systems.
Cloud Software Engineer: Develops and manages cloud applications.
Cloud Security Engineer: Safeguards cloud systems and data.
Cloud Systems Engineer: Maintains and supports cloud infrastructure.
Cloud Network Engineer: Manages and optimizes cloud networking.
Each specialization focuses on different aspects of cloud computing, addressing specific needs and technologies. Companies looking to deploy, scale, or enhance their cloud services often turn to cloud engineers to achieve their objectives.The average annual salary of a cloud
engineer in India is around 7.5-8 lakh rupees, according to Indeed's January
2020 study.
This data came from a review of 228
salaries submitted to Indeed in the previous three years.
Given the rapidly increasing demand
for cloud engineers and the scarcity of supply, this is expected to skyrocket
in the coming years.
Looking at cloud engineer salaries

As you advance up the corporate
ladder as a cloud engineer, your salary will rise.
