Over the past decade, cloud computing has transitioned from being a supplementary option to a vital necessity in the modern business world. This shift has led to a surge in demand for IT specialists skilled in managing cloud migrations and related tasks. Cloud engineers handle all technical aspects of cloud computing, including the design, planning, management, maintenance, and support of an organization’s cloud infrastructure. They also explore and implement cloud-based solutions for various functions, such as database storage, ensuring these functions run smoothly after migration.
Cloud engineers need a mix of technical expertise, vendor negotiation skills, and data security management capabilities to manage these transitions effectively. The role of a cloud engineer includes several specialized positions, such as:
- Cloud Architect
- Cloud Software Engineer
- Cloud Security Engineer
- Cloud Systems Engineer
- Cloud Network Engineer
Each of these roles focuses on a specific aspect 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 cloud engineers.
As of January 2020, the average annual salary for a cloud engineer in India is approximately â‚ą7.5-8 lakh, based on a review of 228 salaries reported to Indeed over the past three years. Given the growing demand and limited supply of cloud engineers, salaries are expected to rise significantly in the near future.
To determine your earning potential, reviewing cloud engineer salaries in India by job title is helpful. As you advance in your career, your salary is likely to increase. Working for a reputable company often results in more substantial salary increases.
