Cloud Engineering- Navigating Career Path as a Beginner.png

With time, the complexity of computational models has significantly increased. Practically, it doesn’t seem convenient to perform all computationally expensive tasks on individual computers. It results in increased dependence and demand for cloud services. This course introduces and navigates through possible career choices in cloud computing.

The course will introduce you to various cloud computing services and different service models. Next, you’ll navigate through different career choices in the field of cloud computing and conclude with the requirements of each career choice. 

By the end of this course, you’ll understand the basics of cloud engineering and the responsibilities of a cloud engineer—planning, designing, monitoring, and managing cloud applications within an organization. This working knowledge will enable you to become a specialized cloud engineer in cloud software engineering and cloud security.

Navigating Cloud Engineering as a Career Path

# Overview
With infrastructure as a service (IaaS), we can rent IT infrastructure from a cloud provider and pay for what we use. 

Examples of popular cloud infrastructure are as follows:
- Storage
- Virtual machines
- Operating systems

This is a suitable method for reducing cost and transferring logistic risks because the team will not be purchasing and maintaining physical infrastructure. This model gives software engineering teams more flexibility to manage their entire cloud infrastructure.

# Advantages
Let’s discuss some of the advantages of IaaS.

## Dynamic scaling
Since IaaS gives on-demand self-service, teams can scale up and acquire more infrastructure when needed. They can also scale down and remove infrastructure when they need to. With the right processes, a team will only invest in the infrastructure required at every given time.
