Who is a cloud engineer?

A Cloud Engineer, proficient in technology, is responsible for designing, implementing, and managing cloud infrastructure and services. They handle the maintenance of cloud-based solutions for businesses. They are the architects behind the scenes, weaving the fabric of virtualized infrastructure that powers our digital world. As businesses increasingly embrace cloud solutions, the role of a Cloud Engineer becomes important, ensuring that the cloud infrastructure not only meets current needs but is also ready for the challenges of tomorrow.

What does a cloud engineer do?

The job description of a cloud engineer includes:

  • Design, develop, and deploy modular cloud-based systems

  • Ensure efficient functioning of data storage and process functions in accordance with company security policies and best practices in cloud security

  • Identify, analyze, and resolve infrastructure vulnerabilities and application deployment issues

  • Organizing and migrating data from computer systems to the cloud.

  • Cloud infrastructure configuration with the help of network and security services.

  • Making applications and architecting databases over the cloud.

  • Developing strategies for disaster management and recovery.

  • Analysing current systems to find flaws that can jeopardise cloud security and make recommendations for improvements

  • Uploading business information to a cloud computing platform and setting up simple retrieval mechanisms for data

  • Increasing cloud storage capacity to store more files and crucial corporate data

  • Ensuring the protection of data in computer systems by working with cybersecurity and IT staff

  • Troubleshooting issues pertaining to cloud application failure or security flaws

  • Automating specific system operations to enhance efficiency and speed

  • Evaluating and identifying the best cloud solutions in collaboration with engineering and development teams. 

Types of cloud engineering roles and responsibilities. 

  1. Cloud architects manage the infrastructure of the cloud. These positions oversee the architecture, configuration and deployment of applications in the cloud.

  2. Cloud software developers build and maintain software features and functions, databases and applications for cloud technologies.

  3. Cloud security engineers build and maintain features to provide security for cloud-based platforms and applications.

  4. Cloud administrators manage software and hardware associated with the use of cloud-based services.

  5. Cloud network engineers manage and support network infrastructures and connections between clients and service providers.

  6. Cloud automation engineers are similar to cloud developers, but this position places an emphasis on automation, orchestration and integration.

What are the skills of a cloud engineer?

  1. Linux: Cloud engineers should have a strong understanding of the Linux operating system, which companies frequently use for cloud development. Cloud engineers should understand the architecture, maintenance and administration of Linux servers.

  2. Database skills: Cloud engineers should have cloud database management skills and knowledge of MySQL and Hadoop.

  3. Programming: Cloud engineers should have strong general programming skills, along with knowledge of programming languages such as SQL, Java, Python, Ruby, Golang, PHP and .NET.

  4. Networking: Cloud engineers should understand virtual networks and general network management functions.

  5. DevOps: DevOps is a popular framework for cloud engineering, so having a hands-on understanding of DevOps practices can be valuable to employers. Amazon Web Services (AWS) DevOps in particular is a sought-after skill by cloud providers.

  6. Containerization: Cloud engineers should have proficiency in containerization tools and understand Docker and Kubernetes.

  7. Virtualization: Cloud engineers should have the knowledge to deploy and run application software on virtual machines.

  8. Understanding of cloud providers: As technical cloud features and engineering practices can vary between different service providers, understanding what each offers can enhance a cloud engineer's knowledge and make them more marketable to employers.

  9. Security and recovery: Cloud security is a growing priority among providers and knowledge of cybersecurity in the context of the cloud is a valuable asset.

  10. Web services and application programming interfaces (APIs): Cloud engineers should have knowledge of open standards, such as XML (Extensible Markup Language), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), WSDL (Web Services Description Language) and UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration), and an understanding of how APIs are engineered.
