Cloud computing transforms the role of infrastructure specialists by shifting the focus from traditional on-premises hardware management to cloud-based infrastructure provisioning and optimization. Specialists need to understand cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and adapt their skills to manage virtualized resources, ensure security, and optimize cost-efficient cloud deployments. This transition also emphasizes skills in automation and scalability to meet the dynamic demands of cloud-based systems.
If you are planning to get into this field, then I would suggest you enroll in this Advanced Certification in Cloud Computing from Intellipaat. This program helps you develop the required skills. Along with that have a look at this video about B Prasad and how he landed a job as an Infrastructure Specialist at IBM with a 100% salary hike just after completing course from Intellipaat.
