In the past decade, cloud computing has evolved from a "nice-to-have" option to a critical necessity in the modern business landscape. This shift has created a growing demand for IT professionals skilled in managing the migration to cloud-based systems and overseeing related tasks.
A cloud engineer is a specialized IT expert who handles all aspects of cloud computing. Their responsibilities include designing, planning, managing, maintaining, and supporting an organization’s existing infrastructure while also exploring ways to transition various functions, such as database storage, to cloud platforms. Once these functions are migrated, the cloud engineer ensures they continue to operate seamlessly.
To succeed in this role, cloud engineers must possess strong technical skills, the ability to negotiate with vendors, and expertise in managing data security.
The term “cloud engineer” encompasses various roles, including:
Cloud Architect
Cloud Software Engineer
Cloud Security Engineer
Cloud Systems Engineer
Cloud Network Engineer
Each of these roles specializes in a specific aspect of cloud computing rather than the technology as a whole. Companies looking to implement cloud services, expand their cloud capabilities, or enhance their cloud expertise frequently seek out cloud engineers to meet these demands.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
in India by job title is the best way to figure out what you're capable of.
As you advance up the corporate
ladder as a cloud engineer, your salary will rise.
The better the company you work for,
the more likely it is that you will receive a significant pay raise.
