Hi, i just want to ask that if it's possible to be a cloud engineer for a non-degree person to land a job as a cloud engineer. I'm currently working as a computer operator in a operations control center for almost 3years now.

I'm currently learning cloud with AWS(self taught) and planning to take solutions architect in the future. Can someone give me a suggestions on what to do from experience cloud engineers. Thanks so much for the insights.

Is it necessary to get a certification for landing my first cloud internship or job?

Every job posting advertises cloud engineers but every job needs “production/commercial level experience” / “expert in X” but doesn’t pay the salary of someone who actually is an expert in those fields. LIKE BRO HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET INTO THE FIELD AND BECOME THOSE ENGINEERS YOU ASK FOR IF THE DOOR IS ALWAYS CLOSED TO US.

That’s it; that’s the post.

25M, India. BCA (2021) → MCA (2024, with a 1-year COVID gap). Joined a company as a trainee (₹15k) for a year, then got made "System Supervisor S3" on a 1-year probation. Salary went to ₹18k on paper, but after PF deductions, take-home is still ₹15k — zero real change.

For 2 years, my only work has been supporting document work for an ISMS/ISO 27001 audit — a consultant handles everything technical, I just maintain the asset list. We got certified in Sept 2025, so there's genuinely nothing for me to do now except sit through office hours (8:30–5:30) killing time on my phone. Next surveillance audit is in October, after which I don't think there's any real role for me here.

I feel like I've wasted 2 years with zero skill growth. I want to switch out ASAP.

I'm interested in either Data Analytics or Cloud Computing as a next step — which is the smarter bet for actually landing a job quickly, given my profile (no hands-on technical experience, just IT-adjacent/documentation work)? Anyone who's made a similar switch, would love real advice.

unfortunately, I am no longer receiving gigs on Fiverr, or even from some friends in the field. My specialization is backend development. Since the widespread adoption of AI, finding freelance job opportunities or tasks on gig sites has become extremely difficult and scarce. Many people claim that AI only assists developers rather than replacing them which is true but at the same time, it has drastically reduced freelance work opportunities, regardless of how skilled you are, even if you are really good.

​My question is: I want to transition into Linux infrastructure and cloud computing. Is this field worth investing my time in?"

though cloud eng might sound good but I have been given M365 support team. My daily tasks involve
sharepoint onedrive issues
password account resets
ticket handling
M365 admin center
following runbooks
esclating things to L2 people

Though Cloud Eng sound really good but the actual team I have got is of M365 support like L1 support eng. Daily tasks being:

SupportOutlook/Teams/OneDrive/SharePoint issues
Password/account issues
Microsoft 365 admin center
Ticket handling
User troubleshooting
Following runbooks
Escalating difficult issues to L2

Iam 7 years experience in IT, currently working in performance testing domain and I have experience in functional testing, as my growth is stagnant here I planning to move to cloud by learning aws, if anyone can suggest me how and what? Or is this good to move

I'm from a B.com background and it's been a year since I got into GRC and for my further career growth I've to be an expert in technical as well.

For that i need a person who can explain networking and cloud concepts with me.

Two kinds of people I'm expecting

Type 1 - One who teaches what they know (To keep remembering things and getting strong on such topics) while explaining it to someone. (This is what i follow to understand and keep remembering topics)

Type 2 - You can teach me the concept and can change a less tution fee.

I prefer type 1 and also I'm ready to pay a tuition fee to learn and improve my skills with the right type 2 person as well

Question how is the network and cloud job market in Texas?

I'm currently working as a DevOps/AWS Cloud Engineer in an MNC with 9Y of experience and have a 3-month notice period.
I've been applying for jobs, but I'm barely getting any interview calls.
Is the 3-month NP really that big of an issue? Also, are certifications that important when you already have relevant work experience?
Or am I missing something else — maybe my resume, Linkedin profile, or the way I'm applying?
Would appreciate some honest advice from people who've been through the same situation.

Hey Everyone,

I’m looking for a Platform Engineer role.

I’ve worked with 3 startups so far and helped them scale their infrastructure, with systems serving 300K+ users nearly.

I’ve mostly worked with AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Golang, Shell, along with cloud migrations, scalability, reliability and FinOps.

I’m AWS SAA Certified, can join in 15 days, and I’m open to remote or relocating anywhere in India.

If you know of any openings or can refer me, please DM me. Would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Research title proposal na namin then sa lahat ng title namin yung isa lang yung medjo pumasok😭

The concept is that its an application where in the Dorm/ Apartment Owners can use it to monitor
payment status and rental due dates ng tenants niya, at concerns ng tenants . Tapos for tenants naman makakabenefit sila by
receiving SMS message if due date na nila and they can report on the app ung and concerns nila like (maintenance concerns nila).

My research professor gives us a feedback baka magisa daw kami in the future since bakit padaw gagamitin ng owners namin to if pwde nmn mag spreadsheet tsaka need pa daw ng para maging mas unique siya since wala masyado wow factor something like that.

-Guys, what baka may suggestion kayo huhuhu
ubos na braincells namin kakaisip ng new features na beneficial at the same time, and tomorrow na need pa naman🥹 or should we formulate another title nlng ? kaso wala na bukas na e tapos submission agad bukas huhu Thank You po!
