What it is
Instead of physical servers, companies rent compute, storage and networking from AWS, Azure or GCP. You design that setup — secure, cost-efficient, scalable — and write it as code so it can be rebuilt identically any time.
What you actually do all day
- 1Design VPCs, compute, storage and IAM policies
- 2Write infrastructure as code with Terraform
- 3Cut cloud bills that quietly doubled last quarter
- 4Set up backups, failover and disaster recovery

Reality check: Certification alone does not get the job — you need hands-on console and CLI hours.
Good fit if: You like systems thinking, diagrams and getting the foundation right.
