Cloud Developer
An expert in creating programs and solutions that make use of cloud computing technologies is known as a cloud developer. Rather than depending on physical hardware or on-premises infrastructure, cloud computing enables users to access and use computer resources (such as servers, storage, databases, networking, and software) over the internet.
The duties and competencies of a Cloud Developer encompass:
Development of Applications:
- Composing software and creating cloud-based applications.
- Using Python, Java, C#, or other programming languages as required by the cloud service provider.
Platforms for the Cloud:
- Working knowledge of leading cloud service providers such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and others.
- Recognizing and utilizing the databases, machine learning, storage, computing power, and other services offered by these platforms.
Code for Infrastructure (IaC):
- Using programs like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation, automate the provisioning and management of cloud resources by putting Infrastructure as Code principles into practice.
Containers and Microservices:
- Utilizing containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes, along with microservices architecture to develop apps.
Computing without a server:
- Constructing serverless apps that manage infrastructure and scale automatically so developers can concentrate just on writing code.
Safety and Adherence:
- Ensuring compliance and security requirements are met by cloud-based apps and solutions.
- Putting in place security mechanisms including monitoring, identification and access management, and encryption.
Continuous Deployment/Continuous Integration (CI/CD):
- Putting in place CI/CD pipelines to automate cloud application testing, development, and deployment.
Observation and Enhancement:
- Putting in place logging and monitoring tools to keep tabs on application performance and manage resources more cheaply.
