In the past decade, cloud computing has evolved from a "nice-to-have" to a "must-have" technology for businesses. This shift has led to a growing demand for IT specialists who can handle cloud migrations and related tasks.
A cloud engineer is responsible for overseeing all technical aspects of cloud computing. This includes designing, planning, managing, maintaining, and supporting an organization’s cloud infrastructure, as well as exploring and implementing cloud-based solutions, such as database storage. They ensure smooth migration to and operation on the new systems.
To excel in this role, cloud engineers need technical expertise, strong negotiation skills with vendors, and a focus on data security, among other capabilities.
The role of a cloud engineer encompasses several specializations, including:
Cloud Architect
Cloud Software Engineer
Cloud Security Engineer
Cloud Systems Engineer
Cloud Network Engineer
Each specialization targets a specific area of cloud computing, addressing particular needs and technologies. Companies looking to deploy, expand, or enhance their cloud services often turn to cloud engineers to achieve their goals.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.
