Over the past decade, cloud computing has transformed from a supplementary option to an essential element of modern business operations. This shift has dramatically increased the need for IT specialists adept at managing cloud migrations and related tasks. Cloud engineers are responsible for 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 functions like database storage and ensure these systems run smoothly after migration.
Cloud engineers need a blend of technical skills, vendor negotiation abilities, and expertise in data security to manage 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 specific areas within cloud computing. 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 previous three years. With the increasing demand and limited supply of cloud engineers, this figure is expected to rise significantly in the coming years.
To gauge your earning potential, examining cloud engineer salaries in India by job title is insightful. As you advance in your career, your salary is likely to increase. Working for prominent companies can also lead to more substantial pay raises.
