Whats the difference between a Jr & Sr cloud engineer?

About $50,000 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤑" title="Gesicht mit Geld-Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Geld-Mund">

Here& #39;s how you get there https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏽" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)">
Write Codehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✍️🏽" title="Schreibende Hand (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Schreibende Hand (mittlerer Hautton)">

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 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤓" title="Nerd-Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nerd-Gesicht">

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
Containers!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥡" title="Essen to go" aria-label="Emoji: Essen to go">

Code and applications are all now being deployed as containerized workloads so be proficient in them!

Be comfortable creating & interacting with containers, deploying in cloud or k8s.

Infrastructure as Code & System Orchestration

Everything now is code. Infrastructure is code.

Virtual machines and all the software installed on them is categorized and managed by code.

-Terraform
-CloudFormation
-Ansible
-Chef
-Puppet
-Saltstack
You need to be able to monitor your resources and be informed if something goes down. You need visibility into your resources.

Logs & Metrics need to be retrieved from assets, processed, and made available for human consumption.

-CloudWatch
-Splunk
-Nagios
-Grafana
...
This is just one road from Jr to Sr and your journey may look different than this.
