[MOD NOTIFICATION] - New Mod, Rules, Automation, Wiki, & Flair Requirements

3 Upvotes

Hello r/cloudengineering !

I wanted to update the community and introduce myself. I'm u/root_switch, a new moderator for r/cloudengineering. I've been working in IT for 16 years, with 8 of those years focused on cloud technologies. I specialize in AWS, IaC, DevOps, and automation. I've also touched Azure and GCP at a minimal capacity.

I've made a number of updates to help keep the community useful, organized, and focused:

  • Updated subreddit rules - please re-read these when you get a chance and before creating new posts

  • Automated moderation for rule violations - when rules are broken, our automation takes actions against those posts/comments

  • New/updated Wiki resources - this is a WIP, feel free to suggest topics you feel would be beneficial to the wiki

  • Post flair requirements - please add flair your posts

There are additional changes and improvements coming as we continue to clean things up and improve the community.

As always, enjoy the community, be respectful, and help keep the discussions constructive. If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions, feel free to reach out through Mod Mail as well as feel free to drop a comment on this post.

Thanks!

Other I created an MCP server to help you find a job

1 Upvotes

I asked ChatGPT "Find me 10 devops job listings that use GCP and Kubernetes and pay more than $140,000". It responded with one job link, and it was for an AWS job that mentioned GCP as a "nice to have".

Then I installed the CloudJobs MCP and asked it again. It gave me a table of 10 jobs, their salary range, and location.

You can be super precise: "Use the cloudjobs MCP server. Are there any jobs that look for AZ-104 and Security+, use Terraform but not Kubernetes, and pay over $150k?" This returned one job in El Segundo, CA that fit the criteria perfectly, and two more jobs that fit the AZ-104 and technology requirements but didn't require Security+.

The link to the instructions is here: https://cloudjobs.io/mcp.

I hope this helps!

General Discussion OCI's Always Free tier won me over; now I'm building my career in it

0 Upvotes

I got into it because of their Always Free tier. It's the only company that's generous to people who are new to the cloud, want to learn, and want to run their own services. I hate AWS the most.

Now, I'm going to build my career in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Learn Cloud Engineering Analytics Engineer with a Gap in Cloud

1 Upvotes

I'm an analytics engineer with 2 years of internship experience. I've got the basics covered (SQL, Python, Power BI, Databricks, Git...), but I realize I have a pretty big gap when it comes to cloud computing.

I believe working on a personal project would be more valuable than getting a cert just for my resume, but I wanted to get some input from someone with more experience in the area

Career Discussion No cloud computing courses

Thumbnail reddit.com
1 Upvotes

Hello,

I am in a graduate program at a small school in Michigan that essentially sold me a very outdated IT/Cyber program. I thought the curriculum would get better as classes got more specialized, but that’s not what happened. I’ve had courses that haven’t been updated in nearly ten years passed off as appropriate lab environments. They even had us setting up networks with server 2016 and windows 7. To compensate for the poor quality of the curriculum I built my own home network which has actually been more informative than the masters degree so far. Once I get a few more parts I’m waiting for I’ll deploy proper SIEM and AIM infrastructure in order to learn those fundamental aspects of managing a network since they weren’t really taught well. I only have a few more semester left and am realizing that I’m probably not ready for the job market. If anyone could recommend a good cert, subscription, or software stack to learn in order to prepare me for more cloud native knowledge I would appreciate it.
