In today’s economy, businesses are constantly looking for ways to cut costs. Unfortunately, one of the first places they tend to look is the IT department. With many companies facing employee reductions due to the current global situation, it’s possible that up to 50-40% of IT professionals may lose their jobs.
So what can IT professionals do to safeguard their careers? One solution is to become a Cloud cum DevOps Architect. This is a highly in-demand role that requires expertise in both multi-cloud management and DevOps automation. According to IT research articles, the market for this combination of skills is expected to grow rapidly, and there will soon be a shortage of professionals with these abilities.
To become a Cloud cum DevOps Architect, IT professionals need to develop a range of technical skills. They must be able to plan and execute end-to-end engagements, including infrastructure and DevOps automation. This requires a deep understanding of cloud technologies and the ability to implement them effectively.
To gain these skills, IT professionals can take advantage of expert coaching and training. Coaching can help them learn the most effective techniques for managing cloud infrastructure and automating DevOps processes. They can also learn about the latest tools and technologies that are driving innovation in the field.
If you have more than five years of experience working in IT, becoming a Cloud cum DevOps Architect could be a smart career move. By investing in coaching and training, you can increase your marketability and become a valuable asset to any organization.
So, what should you do next? First, assess your current skills and knowledge to identify any gaps that need to be filled.

Watch the below videos on how the project tasks are being handled for the course participants:
I was talking to some clients recently on the importance of Cloud migration activities planning. I have come with some guidelines for them as part of my engagement. Some of my guidelines given to them, I would like to share as below.
When the DevOps practice team need to do the infra setup for a cloud migration they also need to participate on the identification of Infra activities and the specifications. Which is very essential.
This need to be done as initial step with any Cloud services migration.
As per my opinion we can work with any cloud services like; AWS/AZURE/Google Cloud, etc., by having the above activity as mandatory.
The attached blog/Video contains the same discussion with the details of the steps required to setup a Virtual Private Cloud. The VPC nomenclature we might have seen with AWS. But similar setup or name cane be there with other Cloud service providers also.
Once this VPC is created the systems are going to be hosted on Cloud.
The Ops team’s responsibility is; to make sure the Cloud migration is correctly and completely done for all the live setup.
At the same time they also need to conduct a pilot testing activity successfully which is mandated as per the Agile Projects management [Agile PM] standards before they announce go live.
They also need to do a parallel run along with the past production setup with a new cloud setup for few weeks.
Below URL contains the initial planning discussion as mentioned:

Folks, I feel the IT individual professional need to learn a lot on the accelerating modern technology to implement. A self driven learning can boost the candidate like an Immunity boost to the human Body.
Many people can not do this by self. They need the boosters.
My coaching can work like a booster for you to self motivate and create a courage and confidence to implement these practices. In this post I would like to share the below.

For a DevOps Engineer – Mock Interview:
READ READ READ CAREFULLY!!! FOR ORIGINAL IT PROFESSIONALS ONLY
THIS MESSAGE IS FOR THE ORIGINAL IT PROFESSIONALS AND NOT FOR THE PROXY ORAGANIZERS TO CONTACT.
What is Proxy interview ? [For client who conduct overseas or offsite interview]:
Instead of the candidate answering the questions by a Subject matter expert he/she talks.
These people might have attended 1000s of proxy interviews. You can identify they are very confident in the communication/subject, etc.. You will not find with them any defect!! So there woud’nt be rejection from you. [Infact, they are very hardworkers by doing several POCs practice with reference to the JDs.] Obviously you are forced to select. You might feel you did video interview also. There is a secret you need to understand. This guy sits in the back end of the monitor. The real guy sits infront of the Camera. So you will compare the photo and his face. You will not find any defect in the face right ? How the proxy guy can talk ? There will be splitter kind of equipment connect to the computer to have 2 headsets. So can you find a defect here ? No, it is hard for you to trace!!! The proxy organizers are very talented like hackers. You try to implement a security practice for interview, they identify a loop hole like a hacker and use it to get the approval done by you.
Where and how these proxy organizing companies work ?
There are numerous body shoppers companies in North America. They take the OPT guys in the 2nd year and groom them to make their mind lazy by giving support by SME and job support also after they started working. They pay around 20-30% of your billing to the candidate and balance to SMEs/Profit share.
During the job how can you find this categories ?:
You avoid giving work from home options. Do a random smoke test daily. The poor guy will be exposed! and be helpless. He/she fails!! Because your greatest IT vendor molded him/her to make their mind lazy!! as impossible to learn and depend on SME like a drug edict.
For Candidates [Who had Proxy interview]:
What happens after proxy interview in the companies. You may get offer. But they do a smoke test kind of weekly tests. Then You will be burnt due to the client has got some feeling you are not the person spoke to them with the subject expertism during the interview. Hence we have come up with a proposal to get you self ready for interviews. Read the above content and come back for a discussion in a scheduled call. We want the people to self build themselves and not to get into the wrong shoes!! to become like a drug addict!!
For Freshers and intending to attend Proxy interviews !
