Multi Cloud Services Providers:
- Focus on Operational Stability:While a Cloud Engineer is primarily involved in building and deploying cloud solutions, a Cloud Operations Specialist ensures that these solutions run smoothly after deployment. This includes monitoring performance, managing cloud resources, and responding to incidents.
- Optimization and Cost Management:Both roles may focus on cost optimization, but a Cloud Operations Specialist is more involved in day-to-day cost management, ensuring that resources are being used efficiently.
- Security and Compliance:Cloud Operations Specialists often manage ongoing security controls and compliance checks, ensuring that the cloud environment adheres to regulatory requirements.
- Disaster Recovery and High Availability:A Cloud Operations Specialist ensures that disaster recovery plans are up-to-date and that high availability is maintained. Cloud Engineers may design these plans, but the operations team implements and manages them.
- Collaboration:Both roles work closely together. Cloud Engineers rely on feedback from Cloud Operations Specialists to improve designs, while Operations Specialists depend on the Engineers' designs to maintain operational efficiency
