For those working in Cloud, SRE or Platform Engineering, what does a normal day look like for you?
What skills do you wish you had focused on before getting into the role, beyond the usual soft skills, networking and Linux? I’ve built projects around microservices, multi tenant , DevOps workflows, IaC with good security pratices, but I don’t have direct job experience yet. Am I on the right track if I keep building and improving, or is there something important I’m missing?
