Is cloud engineer the name for devops this week?
I thought devops was a way to get a guy to do a whole team's job by giving him a silly title.
Fancy title for the developer that gets yelled at when the CI pipeline is broken. Also a good chance they are the one that broke it.
Well Devops isn't a role. It's an approach in which bridges development and operations and integrating it in the team. It isn't sticking a cloud engineer (cloud biased sysadmin) in the team. It's about collaboration and delegating and supporting.
Cloud engineer is unfortunately what many orgs think devops is.
We call ours "cloud DevOps engineer", heh.
Ah I see you read the book
Maybe we should circle back and touch base over what synergy we can ideate over?
I think that's just IT jobs in general. I noped out after 15 years, no fucking clue what I'll do but I can tell you it'll be anything but IT
IT workers desperately need to unionize. There is so much bullshit that happens, folks are expected to do three different roles at once, have multiple technical stacks they are experts in, and work extra hours + be on call after hours or on weekends.
What about the cloud engineer job do you dislike the most? I’ve been in the field for 7-8 years now and still find a lot of joy. Granted, the most frustrating parts of my job is lack of influence I have over the decisions that get made, but I moved to a team lead position to at least have a little say.
I hate everything about cloud engineer especially when tweaking & deploying, after that your boss blame you because the company got higher bill just because the apps have tons hidden micro service & peaked the server like crazy & your coworkers that made the apps got praise because your boss & project manager didn't know anything about IT
