This presentation on how to become a Cloud Computing Engineer will help you understand who is a cloud computing engineer, the different roles within cloud computing, the various steps to become a cloud computing engineer, and the salaries they can expect. Cloud computing engineers are skilled professionals experienced in cloud computing platforms, programming languages, storage, networking, DevOps, and other cloud services. Let us now take a look at how you can become a skilled cloud computing engineer. Simplilearn’s Cloud Architect Master’s Program will build your Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure cloud expertise from the ground up. You’ll learn to master the architectural principles and services of two of the top cloud platforms, design and deploy highly scalable, fault-tolerant applications and develop skills to transform yourself into an AWS and Azure cloud architect. Why become a Cloud Architect? With the increasing focus on cloud computing and infrastructure over the last several years, cloud architects are in great demand worldwide. Many organizations have moved to cloud platforms for better scalability, mobility, and security, and cloud solutions architects are among the highest paid professionals in the IT industry. According to a study by Goldman Sachs, cloud computing is one of the top three initiatives planned by IT executives as they make cloud infrastructure an integral part of their organizations. According to Forbes, enterprise IT architects with cloud computing expertise are earning a median salary of $137,957.
