Cloud engineers: experts for cloud services

Since the digital transformation and the emergence of Industry 4.0, data storage in the cloud is becoming increasingly important.

Cloud engineers are IT specialists and are responsible for all aspects of a cloud-based system and check whether the cloud architects have designed the servers correctly. Cloud Engineers and Cloud Architects are responsible for ensuring that the systems developed meet the needs of business customers. They take over the planning and management of cloud environments, the maintenance of technical systems and are thus responsible for all aspects of cloud computing.
