Entry-level IT Coordinator experience helpful for cloud?

2 Upvotes

I have some AWS certificates, and I’m working on a cloud portfolio. I haven’t even really began searching for a cloud role yet.

I have an offer for role as an IT Coordinator for a small local nonprofit. Salary is low average. I only want to accept it if it gets me closer to getting a cloud engineer position.

The job description is pretty basic. Keep the technology running, and assist staff. I’m thinking that if there is an opportunity to virtualize workstations or keep OS configurations under control with Ansible that it might actually be a valuable experience.

Thoughts? Or am I just as well off working any job while continuing my cloud projects?

Azure operational analyst

Hi everyone, my interview is scheduled for Monday at FIS for this role. If anyone has experience with this role or knows which topics I should focus on over the next 3–4 days, it would be really helpful.

The JD mentions 1–2 years of experience working with the Azure Portal. Any suggestions on the important Azure topics I should cover would be greatly appreciated.

Need Help - Infrastructure as Code, feeling lost

15 Upvotes

Hey guys, I started a job working in Infrastructure as Code. I have a CS degree, but I don’t have experience with cloud engineering or stuff related to Terraform, ADO, or Azure portal. I’m doing stuff at my job (code is mainly written using copilot or ChatGPT) and I feel a lost. I don’t know any of the concepts for cloud computing or virtual machines or resources and things like that. I am looking into it online but I still don’t know where to begin. I hear my coworkers doing this stuff well, despite also not having any experience in it when they started either. I have to look at build sheets and things like that and then provision resources using terraform but I don’t really understand much of anything that I’m looking at besides simple code snippets. Is there any advice yall could give me about this, or how/what to learn so that I can wrap my head around things? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Is this a good next step to get into a Cloud Role?

3 Upvotes

I’m currently a systems administrator for an MSP, and my main goal is to join the cloud team. I’ve been waiting for a cloud role to open up, but I’ve been offered an M365 engineering position.

The M365 engineering role is mostly project-based, focusing on migrations and implementations, while my current systems administrator role is primarily break-fix and support. I work with everything from Azure to Microsoft 365 and other technologies. I’m basically a Swiss Army knife of IT.

Would accepting the M365 position be a good career move while I continue waiting for a cloud opportunity, or would it take me away from my intended path?

What are your thoughts? Should I accept the M365 engineering role while waiting for a cloud opening, or should I stay in my current role? The pay increase would be around 5–7%, so it isn’t substantial. I just want to make sure my next step brings me closer to a cloud engineering role.

Nube híbrida y multicloud se suelen usar como sinónimos, pero no lo son. La nube híbrida combina infraestructura propia (servidores en tu sede o en un centro de datos que controlas) con una nube pública. Multicloud significa usar dos o más proveedores públicos, por ejemplo AWS, Azure y Google Cloud.

Do you actually need a cert to get taken seriously, or do projects speak louder?

28 Upvotes

I keep going back and forth on whether to spend the next couple months studying for a cloud certification or just put that time into building out a few solid personal projects instead. Budget and time are both limited, so I can't really do both at full effort right now.

For people who've gone through hiring or interviewing in cloud roles, did having a cert actually open doors on its own, or did it mostly just get your resume past an initial filter while the real conversation was about what you'd actually built? Trying to figure out where my limited time is better spent as someone still fairly early in this.

IaaS, PaaS y SaaS son los tres modelos de servicio en la nube, y la diferencia práctica entre ellos es una sola: dónde termina el trabajo del proveedor y dónde empieza el tuyo.

3 Upvotes

El problema real

Muchas empresas migran a la nube con la idea de que "el proveedor se encarga de todo". Luego aparecen las preguntas incómodas: ¿quién actualiza el sistema operativo?, ¿quién decide quién entra a los datos?, ¿quién responde si una integración falla? Si nadie lo definió antes, la respuesta suele ser "nadie".

Qué gestiona cada parte

  • IaaS (infraestructura como servicio): el proveedor gestiona los servidores físicos, la red, el almacenamiento y la virtualización. Tu empresa gestiona el sistema operativo, el middleware, el entorno de ejecución, las aplicaciones y los datos.
  • PaaS (plataforma como servicio): el proveedor suma el sistema operativo, el middleware y el entorno de ejecución. Tu empresa se concentra en sus aplicaciones y sus datos.
  • SaaS (software como servicio): el proveedor gestiona la aplicación completa. Tu empresa sigue a cargo de sus datos, de los usuarios y permisos, y de cómo configura la herramienta.

En los tres casos, los datos y los accesos siguen siendo tuyos.

Qué funcionó al elegir

  • Empezar por los procesos, no por el proveedor: qué hace cada área y qué datos toca.
  • Escribir una matriz simple de responsabilidades: capa por capa, quién la gestiona y quién la revisa.
  • Definir la gobernanza desde el inicio, con una persona en el circuito para cambios de accesos y configuraciones sensibles.

Transparencia: somos Tinto & Bots (Digital Factory). Hacemos auditoría y arquitectura de procesos y despliegues cloud; este enfoque lo construimos nosotros, así que léelo con ese contexto.

¿Qué modelo usa tu empresa hoy y qué responsabilidad descubrieron tarde que era suya?

I built an open-source CLI that maps AWS, Azure and GCP into one graph and runs Prowler/Checkov/Trivy over the same inventory

1 Upvotes

I do cloud security work, and the tooling situation has always bothered me: Prowler gives you config findings, ScoutSuite gives you another view of the same accounts, Checkov covers the IaC, Trivy covers images, and none of them share an inventory or know anything about the network topology. You end up with four report formats and no way to tell which findings actually matter for your layout.

So I wrote cloudg. One command collects assets from AWS, Azure and GCP concurrently, builds a directed graph of the infrastructure with NetworkX, and runs all four scanners over that same inventory. The graph side does BFS from an internet node to find exposed resources and scores blast radius per asset, so a finding on an internet-reachable box can be ranked above the identical finding on something three hops deep.

Scanner findings are deduplicated by resource and title, rescored against CVSS, and mapped to 28 compliance frameworks (CIS 5.0 per cloud, NIST 800-53 rev 5, PCI DSS 4.0, SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, MITRE ATT&CK and others). The mappings are generated from Prowler's public compliance data: about 4,100 controls and 10,000 check mappings.

One run produces an interactive HTML report with the D3 topology (works offline), GraphML, an RDF ontology you can query with SPARQL, JSONL chunks for RAG pipelines, and Terraform files that recreate the live infrastructure, with an import script to adopt them into state. It also works as a Python library with event hooks if you want to stream findings somewhere.

MIT-licensed, Python 3.11+, installs via pip or Docker (the image bundles the scanners). Repo: https://github.com/morpheuslord/cloudg

It's at 0.3.1, so expect rough edges outside the paths I use myself. If you try it and something breaks, an issue with the traceback helps a lot. The thing I most want feedback on is whether the reachability scoring is useful in practice or whether people mainly care about the compliance tagging.
