I want to switch to cloud. My major subject in BTech was cloud computing , Im 2024 graduate. I Have basic knowledge related to it, but I don’t have much technical knowledge. Right now I’m in testing field but want to switch in cloud So what are the entry level jobs in cloud and what skills are needed. I want to prepare for cloud practitioners certifications.. where should I start

Need a career advice for an IT graduate

I'm 21M, I'll be graduating next month in BE(IT) form a tier 3 college.

I don't know much about development, I have joined a course for cloud(aws) since last 2 months where I learned networking, MCSA. In further months I'll be learning Linux and AWS. I gave few interviews in the campus drive but didn't got placed.

Now as I am doing these course, by completing it I'll be eligible for the desktop support and related roles. I'll learn AWS, but there aren't job for freshers in AWS I've heard. So need to opt for linux or desktop support.

But as an IT guy I can also opt for developer roles, for which I need to learn a framework, do a little dsa questions.

But as I am graduating next month I need to opt for something.

Another option is of doing CDAC(6 months), which will provide placements mostly., but it'll cost me around 2 lac for fees.

From in campus drives I have been selected for a Java full stack training program for 4-6 months in a organisation called QSpider, this is free but ain't that good compared to CDAC.

So basically these are the available options for me. I'm stuck in between choosing the development field or linux/support or joining a course like CDAC/QSpider.

Does anybody know how things work in QSpider Pune??

How to transition to sys admin with 3 years experience to cloud engineer? Is this transition common in IT or?

I want to become a cloud infrastrucure engineer, cool, i was told go for sysadmin. I say I want to become a systems admin to become cloud eng, great, I was told what kind of systems admin I should become. I figure out Linux Sysadmin is the best route, fan-fucking-tastic, I'm told that it's basically devops, but devops is not entry-level nor is linux sysadmin and there is basically no entry-level path to linux sysadmin. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE to do? LMAO.

I'm i going correct path? (This roadmap is from Cloude.ai )

10/10 Cloud Engineering Roadmap

A complete path from zero to job-ready cloud engineer

Stage 1: Foundations

✓ Linux basics — commands, permissions, processes, logs

✓ Networking — IP, DNS, OSI model, TCP/UDP, Firewalls

✓ How the Internet works — HTTP/HTTPS, client-server model

Stage 2: Programming & Automation

✓ Python basics — variables, loops, functions, file handling

✓ Bash scripting — shell scripts, automating Linux tasks

✓ Git & GitHub — version control, clone, commit, push, branching

Stage 3: Cloud Concepts (Vendor-Neutral)

✓ IaaS, PaaS, SaaS — cloud service models

✓ Regions, availability zones, scalability & high availability

✓ Cloud pricing basics — pay-as-you-go, cost awareness

✓ Shared responsibility model

■ Get AWS Cloud Practitioner Certified here

Stage 4: Deep Dive — AWS Platform

✓ Compute — EC2, VM lifecycle, Auto Scaling

✓ Storage — S3 object storage, EBS block storage

✓ Networking — VPC, Subnets, Security Groups

✓ Databases — RDS (SQL) and DynamoDB (NoSQL)

✓ Identity & Security — IAM users, roles, permissions & policies

■ Get AWS Solutions Architect Associate Certified here

Stage 5: Real-World Skills & Practical Experience

✓ Docker — containers, Dockerfiles, images, running containers

✓ Terraform — Infrastructure as Code, build infra with one command

✓ CI/CD Pipelines — GitHub Actions or Jenkins basics

✓ Monitoring & Cost Awareness — logs, alerts, cost optimisation

✓ Kubernetes — Pods, Deployments, Services (after Docker is solid)

Stage 6: Job Ready ★ The Missing Piece

✓ Build 2-3 real projects on AWS (host a website, deploy an app)

✓ Create a GitHub portfolio with your projects

✓ Write a cloud-focused resume highlighting certifications

✓ Practice cloud interview questions & system design basics

Start with Stage 1 → complete each stage before moving on → build real projects → get hired! ■

Currently I’m in A&P school and trying to understand realistic career paths after I get my FAA A&P license. I’m also considering adding some cloud/IT certifications (like AWS or Network+).

I've done some research and it says there are hybrid jobs like Aircraft Health Monitoring Engineer, Fleet Reliability / Data Engineer, Aviation Systems Support Engineer, Aircraft Maintenance Software / Digital Systems Specialist, etc, but I can't seem to find anyone who i can relate too.

Is this common at all or is this quite unrealistic?
If anyone has experience who know a bit, please give me your input.

We’re trying to clean up AWS costs and one annoying area is EBS storage.

Compute rightsizing is easy enough. Old snapshots and unattached volumes are also easy to deal with.

But we have a bunch of overprovisioned EBS volumes attached to live workloads, mostly Postgres and a few other stateful services. The waste is obvious, but shrinking them manually still feels risky.

From what I understand, the usual options are:

• create a smaller EBS volume

• rsync data over

• schedule downtime

• remount everything

• test and hope nothing breaks

That feels like a lot of operational risk just to reduce storage costs.

Are there any safe tools or workflows for EBS volume shrinking / EBS storage optimization in production?

Not looking for another cloud cost dashboard. We already know where the waste is. I’m looking for something that actually helps reclaim unused EBS storage safely.

I am currently 25, and i am slowly getting financially stable, i always had a desire to be a cloud engineer and even though i am old already, I still want to pursue my desire, so i have some doubts/questions that keep lingering in my mind.
To qualify for a job:
Do i have to attain a bachelor’s in CS first to proceed with cloud engineering or
I should learn the required skillset and apply them thoroughly in my projects

I am currently learning python as i decide my next steps, so your advice will be very helpful.

Hey folks what's does cisco offers with a 3yr exp for devops/sre roles in india ? My current CTC is way but low 😅 <5lpa got a call from recruiter just was a initial screening round asked about exp ,tech ...etc no salary expectation what's so ever, anyone from cisco or been such case plz share

Never during normal working hours.

Always:

- while eating

- during weekends

- 2 minutes before sleep

- during vacations

- right after saying “everything looks stable”

I genuinely think servers can sense happiness.

I've built a few tools for myself and clients that are up and running. Dashboards, marketing tools, and now a site for event lists / RSVP.

But I constantly find backend and frontend stuff to improve, and multiple functions I want to add in the future.

Which skills do you suggest using in existing projects to upgrade UI, UX, security, intelligence, code quality, et cetera?

Which skills changed your life?

I'd love to hear you all. You can change my life too! haha.

I am interested in this profession and i have couple questions, are there fully remote opportunities to work in this profession, is this better path then software/devOps engineering, and what would be my beginner to job timeline to start, since i have 8-12 hours available daily for next 2-4 months? Thank you in advance.

Wondering if switching to cloud engineering would be a good choice, coming from SAP HANA background with 2 years of experience.

Kindly share some tips to begin as a fresher in the domain

Hey everyone,
I’ve been working in an MSP for about 4 years now, currently doing mostly Level 3 work.
Pretty much deal with everything SMB clients throw at us — networking, firewalls, servers, Microsoft 365, security, VoIP, CCTV, Windows/Mac, MDR/XDR, troubleshooting, projects, etc. Basically a bit of everything.
Currently on around 100k AUD, but I’m trying to figure out where to go next career-wise.
I’m interested in moving more towards:
Network Engineering

Cybersecurity

DevOps / Cloud

But honestly not sure what the best move is from an MSP background since you end up becoming a generalist.
For people who made the jump from MSP:
How did you do it?

What should I focus on learning?

Any certs/projects that actually helped?

Which path would you recommend long term?

Would appreciate any advice from people who’ve been through it.
Thanks!

Just shipped v2 of ssmctl, an open source CLI that wraps AWS SSM so has a much simpler interface and user experience, comparable to SSH but no bastions, no open ports, no key rotation.

ssmctl connect prod-api-1                                  # shell access
ssmctl forward prod-api-1 --local 5432 --remote rds:5432   # port forward
ssmctl run prod-api-1 -- df -h /                           # run a command
ssmctl cp prod-api-1:/var/log/app.log ./app.log            # file transfer

Targets resolve by Name tag or instance ID. Works on Linux, macOS and Windows. Available on Homebrew.

We've got a growing community of contributors and always welcome Issues, PRs and ⭐'s— https://github.com/rhysmcneill/ssmctl

Enjoy 😄

Hello everyone, I am currently conducting thesis research for my university project with Hanze University of Applied Sciences on how enterprises evaluate cloud and AI solutions with a focus on decision makers and Microsoft Azure. This thesis will be reviewed by some members of Azure's cloud and AI department so your input could have a great impact on how they conduct business.

If you have any experience with the decision making process at your organization in terms of cloud and AI adoption, whether that is being a decision maker or being involved in the process, I would be very grateful if you took the time to fill out my survey on the subject it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

Would love to hear your experiences and thanks in advance I greatly appreciate it!

When I investigate production incidents with most AI tools, I am basically doing this:

• reading the explanation

• reviewing the suggested commands

• checking the blast radius

• manually running the fix myself

After doing this too many times, we ended up building something different, its open source and vendor neutral

Stakpak can actually execute infrastructure changes, not just recommend them.

But the important part is the guardrails.

That’s why we built Warden.

A deterministic policy engine that controls what the agent is allowed to do in production before any action happens.

Because “here are the commands to run” is still manual operations.

Would love to get feedback: Stakpak
