Get highly valued IT skills that are in demand

Cloud computing is a fast-growing field with steady and strong demand in the IT labour market. Gaining the skills to work with cloud technologies could lead you to a rewarding career setting up, maintaining, and managing IT infrastructure.

What is a Cloud Support Engineer?

A Cloud Support Engineer is an IT professional who sets up, configures, and maintains cloud infrastructure. As they advance in their careers, cloud engineers may also move into roles of greater responsibility that include cloud architecture (designing cloud solutions), development (coding for the cloud), and administration (managing cloud networks). Cloud technology is already a fixture in our lives. Without realising it, you’re likely using cloud-based services every day — whether it’s watching videos and listening to music via streaming services or using a web-based email platform. For businesses, cloud technology is making processes faster and more efficient. For example, the cloud makes
backing up and storing company data easier, and software updates can be “pushed” to users as soon as they’re ready. As a Cloud Support Engineer, your job will be to keep it all running smoothly.
