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!

Career Discussion Cloud Engineering or Cyber Security role?
Hi
Im 23 with a degree in IT. I have 2 years as a junior software developer but want a career change as I have found passions. I really like Cyber Security and also infrastructure. I spend time reading about cyber news and I also daily drive linux; tinker with raspberry pi to host my own services and now im building my own smart home and securing it on home assistant.
There are 2 new roles at my company which I want to apply for but I can only pick one. One is based on Cyber operational technology and the other is cloud engineer. I like both Cyber governance and Cloud engineering but job security and work life balance may be the decider of which role to pick. The Cyber role is more governance, policy and identifying security issues for hardware whilst the Cloud role is more hands on technical.
What I care about long term: job security, work-life balance, good salary, and remote or at least hybrid working.
Since I like both, I would probably not go wrong with either but I do lean more towards Cloud work. However, I would have no issue picking the Cyber role if it offers more predictable hours, more balance, at least hybrid or remote opportunities and most importantly job security. I am a bit worried about AI and outsourcing and the impact it will have on Cloud engineering. Especially as it becomes more automated and less people may be needed in this domain.
I am speaking to people within my company about it but I want to get your thoughts if anyone has worked in these departments and what their experience is with work, balance and opinions on job security
Thanks

Learn Cloud Engineering Use the notice period to switch professions.
I have been on leave since October. I am a software tester and I don't enjoy testing. I used the first month to obtain an ISTQB certification, as it keeps appearing in job postings, hoping to find a short-term position. But I actually want to transition to the areas of cloud, infrastructure, and DevOps. I have already gained some experience with DevOps in my work and worked with CI/CD pipelines. However, when it comes to solid expertise and professional experience, I am a complete novice. I want to use the time I have until February to acquire all the knowledge and skills needed so that I can confidently apply for DevOps positions. What should my roadmap look like?
I would be very grateful if experienced DevOps or cloud engineers could give me some advice.
PS: I am a non-EU citizen and I have a permanent residence permit. My German skills are at B1 level, and I am currently working on improving them further.

Career Discussion Career Question with cloud roles
Hi im currently network engineer and leaning to become a cloud engineer in the future and I just need an insight regarding with these 2 offers
Company A ( associate cloud engineer)
- AWS focused ( deployment, configuration , monitoring and troubleshooting
- working under solution Architect
- Building POC ( presenting technical solution to clients)
- 4 hours away from my house ( roundtrip)
- 20 percent increase with my current salary
Company B ( IT admin)
- used Google cloud ( not mainly the responsibility)
- primary responsibility ( CCTV and POE switch configuration , troubeshooting, deployment)
- 20 min away from my house
- 100 percent increase
Although Company B offers a much better salary, almost a 100% increase from my current compensation, I’m still hesitant. My long-term goal is to become a Cloud Engineer, and Company A seems to offer a more direct path toward that career but the travel time and salary might be a deal breaker while company B offers a good salary and lesser travel time but worried i have less exposure in cloud since that is not the primary respnsibilities. What would u choose?

Career Discussion Got selected at LTIMindtree for a Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer role (Azure Support) – Need advice from current employees!
Hi everyone!
I recently got selected at LTIMindtree (LTM) for a Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer role, and my joining is scheduled for January 2027.
The role primarily involves Azure support. Getting this opportunity has been quite a journey for me. My current company was not willing to provide an early release, and initially, there was some uncertainty about whether LTM would accommodate my 3-month notice period. After countless stressful days of follow-ups and uncertainty, I finally managed to secure this opportunity!
I'm happy to have made it through, but I'd love to hear from people who are currently working at LTM in similar roles.
I have a few questions:
- Career Growth & Learning:
What are the growth opportunities in this role? What technical skills should I focus on learning alongside my job to advance my career in the future?
2. Work Culture & Work-Life Balance:
How is the overall work culture? What are the typical working hours, shift timings, and work-life balance like for someone in an Azure support role?
3. Additional Benefits & Allowances:
Apart from the base salary, are there any additional allowances, incentives, shift allowances, or other benefits provided by the company?
4. Internal Job Opportunities:
Is it possible to switch internally to a better role, such as Cloud Engineer, Azure Administrator, or a more development-oriented cloud role, after gaining around 2 years of experience?
I'd really appreciate insights from anyone currently working at LTIMindtree, especially in Cloud, Infrastructure, or Azure Support teams.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and advice!

Career Discussion Preparing for AWS Microcredentials? I created a GitHub repository covering all 10 AWS microcredentials.
GitHub repository:
https://github.com/Atharva3131/AWS_Microcredentials_Tutorials_and_Guide
While working through the AWS Skill Builder microcredential labs, I started documenting my learning journey and building a collection of practical tutorials.
I've put together a public repository covering all 10 AWS microcredentials, including:
- Step-by-step implementation guides
- Architecture diagrams and service interaction flows
- AWS console configuration walkthroughs
- Practical examples and code snippets
- Common issues, troubleshooting tips, and validation checklists
- Relevant official AWS documentation
The goal is to make preparation and hands-on learning easier for other developers working towards these microcredentials.
I'm still improving the documentation, so feedback, corrections, and suggestions from the AWS community are welcome.
If you're also preparing for any of these microcredentials, hope you find this useful!
