In the past decade, cloud computing has
shifted from a supplementary technology to an essential element of
modern business operations. This transition has driven a surge in demand
for IT professionals skilled in managing cloud migrations and related
tasks. Cloud engineers are key to handling all technical aspects of
cloud computing, including designing, planning, managing, maintaining,
and supporting an organization’s cloud infrastructure. They also
evaluate and implement cloud-based solutions for functions like database
storage, ensuring smooth operation after migration.
To navigate these responsibilities effectively, cloud engineers need a
combination of technical expertise, vendor negotiation skills, and data
security management capabilities. The role of a cloud engineer encompasses various specialized positions, such as:
Cloud Architect
Cloud Software Engineer
Cloud Security Engineer
Cloud Systems Engineer
Cloud Network Engineer
Each role targets a specific area within cloud computing, addressing
distinct technologies or components rather than the cloud ecosystem as a
whole. Companies seeking to deploy, expand, or optimize their cloud
services frequently turn to cloud engineers for their specialized
knowledge and skills.
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.
