With all this data, companies need a way to store, manage, access, and interpret the data. And since most of it is stored on cloud platforms, cloud engineers are the ones to do it. As a result, knowing the SQL standard, which is the foundation for many query languages, is important. But also knowing some of the common database technologies like Hadoop, MongoDB, and MySql is important as well. You can find a comprehensive list of the top cloud databases here.

Computer Systems
Having general knowledge about “computer systems” engineering is another strong skill to have. Understanding operating systems, virtualization concepts in compute (e.g. hypervisors, containers), networking (DNS, load balancing, software defined networking), storage (block vs. object), global and regional deployment strategies, etc. will make you a well rounded cloud engineer.

DevOps
Developmental Operations is not exclusive to cloud computing, but it has become the central methodology for software development in a cloud computing environment. DevOps is a methodology that takes the entire software lifecycle into account including planning, use, and maintenance and is a must-know methodology for anyone involved with cloud computing.

Rather than go into the details of all that DevOps entails, here are a few sources and online courses that will teach you everything you need to know about DevOps. Some of them do cost money.

If we have to put it into a definition, then a Cloud Engineer is an IT professional who takes care of all the technical workload related to Cloud Computing. This workload generally includes managing, planning, architecting, and monitoring cloud systems. It also includes knowing and implementing the best practices for deploying an application on the cloud.
Now, this is a basic generalization of the roles and responsibilities of a Cloud Engineer. Further in the blog, we will examine the tasks that different organizations expect the professional to accomplish.
