Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources over the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.
Instead of owning servers, you can access technology services, such as computing power, storage, & databases, on an as-needed basis.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers.

MS offers lots of training resources for its cloud; start here

When building complex, and robust systems things can get unwieldy; even more so if you're using multiple cloud providers.

To help with this problem, engineers are now leveraging "Infrastructure as Code" (IaC)

Human readable code thats used to deploy resources, like a blueprint.
Deploying only on AWS?

AWS CloudFormation gives you an easy way to model a collection of related AWS and third-party resources, provision them quickly and consistently, and manage them throughout their lifecycles, by treating infrastructure as code.

Whats the difference between a Jr & Sr cloud engineer?

About $50,000 🤑

Here's how you get there 👇🏽
Write Code✍️🏽

No getting away from it, you have to write code, and be comfortable writing code.

Daily I look at

-Go
-Python
-Bash
-JavaScript

I have to deal with linters, debuggers, builds, unit tests, and vulnerability scanning.

Get comfortable with programming!
DevOps 🤓

All that code has to go somewhere and be used to do things.

This is called CI/CD (Continuous integration & continuous delivery)

The tools that make that possible?

-Git
-Jenkins
-TravisCI
-CircleCI
-SonarQube
