Individuals switching from web development to a cloud computing career path should prioritize skills in cloud architecture, IAC with tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation, containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), and proficiency in cloud-specific services like serverless computing, databases, and networking. Additionally, expertise in security, automation, and troubleshooting within a cloud environment is crucial.
