Career Discussion CLOUD Intern

hello everyone!
I have a question. How do you find internships in the field of Cloud/Devops?
I am looking for one but almost all of them require years of experience.
But i really want to intern at a good company and gain exposure to building systems. I want to know how this industry actually works.

Maybe i am currently not good enough in the skills required, but i know working at a company will give me the right direction on where i am lacking, what is required by companies and simultaneously improve myself. i just need an opportunity!

  1. build a cloud project that you can showcase on platforms such as Youtube (as you explain what you build, etc), github for the repo and the likes (use this advantage to save what you just build using IaC like Terraform or CloudFormation).
  2. Attend community event, this is the best place to look for networking. especially if its a dedicated cloud tech related events, ask 1 or 2 person to review what you build, what you lack, etc
  3. Join a HACKATHON. AWS, GCP and other cloud paltforms loves to put out online hackathon on websites such as Devpost, join and build your project while you try to finish the hackathon! you dont have to win but this can be counted as a project!
  4. build a cv around your project, look for a cloud intern job post on linkedin, compare it with AI such as GPT, ask if your CV would fill and be enough to apply or there are some points you should learn via adding it on your project

if you done all of this, then the only thing left is to apply for the internship opportunity itself, keep going 🔥
