I'm a Systems Engineer working in South Africa. We work both on-prem and cloud (Azure) I wouldn't mind working remotely for an EU company purely because the paid difference is massive
I have been actually doing both roles over the years without even knowing it XD that's how thin the line really is between both roles. Dont know which path to take though :(
I was asked if I wanted to specialise in cloud, infra, network, database, and I was thinking.. all 4 options are cloud-based, so what's the cloud specialism about, a catch-all term for anything miscellaneous?
I need more context on your question. It sounds like you potentially work on-prom and your employer asked you to specialise in a certain area of architecture or offered you the opportunity to move to a cloud focused role? Hard to tell from your comment but yes, Cloud offers many services like networking, databases etc. They would all be cloud based, not on-prem.
@@techtoby_ thanks for your reply, it was an interviewer asking me for a security role... and I was too nervous to say I don't know what to specialise in. And sometimes I don't want to say the wrong thing either and say I want to focus on x when they only have y. I thought cloud sec and infra sec were the same thing to be honest. I did research a bit after the interview about the four specialisms. Fingers crossed I will hear back from the employer soon.
Great Information! Great comparision. Good job! I'm in desktop support now and trying to move into the cloud. Would you recommend service desk -> infrastructure engineer -> Devops/Cloud? Seems to be the path you took
I'm a cloud engineer myself. I would say get certified on your favorite cloud platform. Not that you'll learn day to day work from that (just get experience by creating your own projects), but recruitment loves certificates. Especially if the company is a cloud platform partner. They get benefits when their personel is certified. Also learn some Python/bash (scripting) and Terraform (IaC). Also docker is nice to get familiar with.
I wish to switch my career to IT,where should i start with? Mentioning i know programming language.Confused to choose among software engg,full stack developer and cloude engineer
And Also I’m planing to learn Cloud and do a lot of project and then volunteer then internship and finally a job Pls well this pathway cover up for lack of certifications like Azure900
Thanks for your clear explanation...❤ But sir may I know if a non it background person with 2 years of career gap could get certified as cloud engineer and get a job or will his/ her resume be rejected??
@@techtoby_ Sure sir but I'm anxious about my career gap being a barrier for my hiring.... please let me know if they hire people like me or ATS would reject my resume?

basically the same
Basically the same homie. I pick whichever will pay me more.
I am infrastructure and rarely touch anything on prem and do dev ops stuff for developers. Really they are both
Thanks for the knowledge

Good luck. Cloud security is different but the fundamentals remain the sams
Hey did you fail the interview ??
@@zeelpatel9321 are you hiring lol
The only video I needed.
I’m glad to hear that haha. Thank you 😁
which one would you say a platform engineer is closer to Devops or cloud engineer?
It’s closer to Cloud Engineer because they’re focused on the underlying platform of software.
A Platform Engineer can also work hybrid or on-prem.
Great Information! Great comparision. Good job! I'm in desktop support now and trying to move into the cloud.
Would you recommend service desk -> infrastructure engineer -> Devops/Cloud? Seems to be the path you took
Pretty much my route!
How would someone in devops transition to cloud engineering
Just apply
Thanks, I wouldn’t need to do any extra training or learning?
Nope. It’s the same stack, just different responsibilities
Hi mate, currently i'm in the UK, doing AWS re/START program.....Where will you advice I start from cloud or devOps engineering role?

@@Null_Point3r Good man...Many thanks
Hey , thank you for this video - would you recommend the AWS restart course for beginners
Absolutely

*cloud
You need to first choose a role and build a roadmap to learn the skills
Thank you Sir
Can projects cover for certifications
And Also
I’m planing to learn Cloud and do a lot of project and then volunteer then internship and finally a job

You’ll need more than certificates. Projects are important to prove your skills
@@techtoby_ Sure sir but I'm anxious about my career gap being a barrier for my hiring.... please let me know if they hire people like me or ATS would reject my resume?
Career gaps are pretty normal
@@techtoby_ thank you so much sir 👍
