Getting into Cloud Computing - AWS/Azure/Google Cloud

[Lance]

A typical admin/IT support activities in complex environments IS black magic. Especially in Clouds. You could be a very good engineer, a computer science expert but you have to do black magic. Because of it is out of your control. You just a technician that servicing the Tools.

In that scenario you're just an end user of a service. The fact that you use the service to programme software is neither here nor there.

A DevOps role, for example, is a lot deeper than that as they understand and control the underlying 'black magic'.
An infrsatructure engineer similarly understands it. And end user doesn't need to.

Just wanted to stress that getting into Cloud computing means DevOps that is highly demanded role but not a programmer role. The senior embedded C/C++ developer could earn (in much more comfortable zone) not less than a good DevOps. There is a high wind constantly in that clouds.
