In the past decade, cloud computing has transformed from a luxury into an essential component of modern business operations. This shift has led to a surge in demand for IT professionals skilled in managing cloud migrations and related tasks. Cloud engineers oversee all technical aspects of cloud computing, including designing, planning, managing, maintaining, and supporting an organization’s cloud infrastructure. They also evaluate and facilitate the transition of various functions, such as database storage, to cloud-based systems, ensuring smooth operation after migration.
To effectively manage cloud transitions, cloud engineers need a blend of technical expertise, vendor negotiation skills, and data security management abilities. The role of a cloud engineer can include several specialized positions, such as:
- Cloud Architect
- Cloud Software Engineer
- Cloud Security Engineer
- Cloud Systems Engineer
- Cloud Network Engineer
Each role focuses on a specific area of cloud computing rather than the technology as a whole. Companies looking to deploy, scale, or enhance their cloud services often seek the expertise of these professionals.
As of January 2020, the average annual salary for a cloud engineer in India is approximately 7.5-8 lakh rupees, based on a review of 228 salaries on Indeed. Given the growing demand and limited supply of cloud engineers, salaries are expected to increase significantly in the coming years.
To assess your earning potential, examining cloud engineer salaries in India by job title is helpful. Advancing in your career as a cloud engineer typically results in higher pay. Working for a reputable company further increases the likelihood of receiving substantial salary increments.
