A cloud engineer is an IT professional who takes care of any technological responsibilities associated with cloud computing – from design to planning, management to maintenance, and support. Under the bigger bracket of cloud engineers, there are more specific roles, such as:

  • Cloud architect
  • Cloud software engineer

Some must-have skills for a cloud engineer include Linux, database, programming, networking, DevOps, Containerization, Virtualization, API, and cloud security.

Their specific responsibilities and scale could vary from organization to organization, but the mistakes they must avoid would remain quite constant.
