What Does a Cloud Specialist Do?
Cloud Specialists help organizations migrate their information and services to the cloud. They analyze a company’s needs and select the most appropriate cloud technology solutions. They analyze opportunities to deploy, optimize, and protect critical applications and data storage. They also manage company data securely across multi-cloud environments. In a smaller organization, the responsibilities of a cloud specialist may be rolled into a more general IT support role. A cloud specialist may also work for an actual cloud service provider, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud. In this capacity, a cloud specialist is typically responsible for onboarding new clients, troubleshooting and maintaining cloud computing solutions.
