How a Test Engineer can convert into Cloud automation role ?
As per the ISTQB certifications, the technical test engineer role is to do the test automation and setup the test environments. In the Cloud technology era, they need to perform the same activities in Cloud environments also. Most of the Technical role based people need to learn the Cloud Infrastructure building domain knowledge which is very essential. It will not come in a year or two. Through special coaching only it is possible to build the resource CAPABILITIES.
In the same direction the technical TEST ENGINEER can learn the Infra domain knowledge and also the code snippets with JSON to automate the Infra setup in Cloud. This role has tremendous demand in the IT Job Market. There are very few people globally with these skills as demand has very high and it is accelerating.Converting from the Test engineer role is very easier if they learn the infra conversion domain knowledge.
I am offering a coaching to convert the technical test engineers into Cloud Infra Automation. This course is going to be in 2-3 months duration as part time, with weekly 4-6 sessions. Offline they need to spend the practice on doing their Infra POCs with a daily 2-3 hours efforts. Once they complete this coaching to build them as Cloud Infra automation expert, I will help and push them into the open market to get the higher CTC.In India, I have helped to NON-IT people also.
For my recent students performance and their achievement in getting the Higher CTC, see their comments from the below URL:
Finally, with all of your efforts you are not comfortable with the HR pushed candidates, through the top management pressures.
Now how to smoke test the joined person ?:
Step1:Just have a call with the new joinee. Record his voice and compare it during the interview you did recording. If it is different, obviously he used the Proxy services to fake his selection process.
Step2: Check his resume. You compare with your current project tasks. Identify one task and give him to complete infront of you. If he is fake guy, he will do lot of work around.
Step3: Ask him to orient one of your development team members on his recent process followed and implemented the cloud/DeveOps tasks. Where that task is more relevant for your current project need.
Step4: If he is succeeded in the above tasks, identify some more tasks. If he is through you don’t need to worry. He is a capable guy.
Cloud cum DevOps Coaching: How to filter the fake profile ?
Folks,
In IT industry the fake profiles burning is there since 2.5 decades as I am aware.
With my past experiences, I would like to share the below points to consider along with your planning/actions to reject them.
If you see a fake profile, they write every technology related to the activity. With multiple technologies/tools usage in a single project is not possible. Any project can use one or two tools only with limited budget.
You need to consider a scenario as per the resume points mentioned.
And design a POC, and ask the candidate to do it in a given time.
[Your POC can be designed as per the JD requirement also.]
Also monitor his POC steps execution, like is there any proxy guy doing it.
First you get the candidate’s IP address. And monitor his IPs actions through a tool.
You also ask him to share the screen, with a recording option from your laptop.
And finally once he has done, ask him in a different paths how this POC can be designed ?
Note: I will be adding in future some more points in this blog.
Just be aware most of the large IT cos have the recruiters scam for higher CTC positions. They are tied up with many placement agencies. These recruiters will be getting 20-25% of the CTC as advance once the offer is released. How they manage the interviews ?These recruiter will have tie up with agencies and proxy interviewers. Hence they will be selected well. Later the issues are with the delivery team to spend enormous time to filter them in different ways by burning the delivery team’s time/efforts. Go through the below blogs with some TIPs to follow. Please note this kind of issues are there since decades. But with modern technologies accelerating many fake people are appearing to enter into IT Industry. https://vskumar.blog/2021/02/17/cloud-cum-devops-coaching-how-to-filter-the-fake-profile/ Good luck in your selection process without being attacked by your recruiter’s scam/cheating your organization. I know this is a painful activity, but no other go to accept and eradicate for pure profiled people.

If you are keen in getting this kind of results, first you need to understand our coaching methods. To know these details, there are discussion videos in the below blog watch them and make a decision for your career goals:
What is a cloud screen operation and what is an activity in cloud infra ?
Folks,
There are crores of people have been attending online/offline training on Cloud and DevOps globally.
But Do we know what is a screen operation ?
What is a project activity ?
What is the difference between these ?
In this below blog; I have given some elaboration on them to know the real differences. This can help the people who say they are experts on AWS Screen operations.
If they have experienced the interviews this can give clarity why the interviewers asked them some job oriented tasks related questions, but not the screen operations.
Now, Let us take AWS.
You want to create a VM which is EC2 service. You need to understand its screen operations to launch the default VM. Yes you know very well through numerous trainings you attended.
But when I come to my second question;
What is the use of this EC2 machine ?
What for I need to use ?
Where can I use in my infrastructure building activity ?
How to connect in a network ?
How to share that machine access to different developers ?
If we have a 3-tier application how to build in a cloud ?
How can I do internal networking ?
How can I do external networking from my account to other accounts ?
What are the best practices I can use to build the cost effective infrastructure ?
Finally, how to automate this
Offcourse, these are live activities on need to answer in an interview and perform those for right delivery.
But my next question is how to learn these gaps and move forward into the job roles ?
You need to learn the Infra domain knowledge. And build some kind of proof of concept [POC] projects through experienced mentors.
In this video the traditional IT roles are discussed along with their tasks. And how these roles are transformed into a Cloud Engineer to handle by single person who has extensive infra domain and Cloud services knowledge to build the various setup. Watch the below discussion video with an experienced IT professional:
This video has the Traditional Infrastructure building analysis. How to setup a new Infrastructure for an E-commerce in Traditional manner ? What are the Activities we might do ? When we plan for the same Infra building in a Cloud setup what are the high level activities ?:
For all the above solutions, please visit my consolidated blog and connect with my on linked [Name: Shanthi Kumar V] to chat with you first, to assess you for this coaching.
In 2020, many companies are operating their employees with work from home option.
Now, if you want to change the job, obviously you need to attend the interviews also from Home. There can be international jobs, you will have to apply.
So, how to plan ?
What are the TIPS to use during the calls ?
I have collected the below article for you to get ready. Just go through it and note down the points on TIPS to be adopted.
Are you intending to stick on to IT Cloud Profession ?
Are you from technical background and going to work in Cloud ?

In Cloud Projects, why the Cloud Budgets are Increasing instead of Savings with Cloud implementation ?
Why some of the client managers are scared with their current Cloud Consultants/employees ?
With reference to my Different calls made with many Infra managers, through several tech. news and research papers published by popular market research companies, I am sharing the following for your awareness.
One need to understand the below Cloud Initiation process steps also:
I have made this video after having calls with many Cloud professionals globally.
Many of the Cloud Engineers are failing due to lack of the domain based skills.
Even recently in top notch tech news sites they have publised on how the Cloud projects are costing more inspite of saving the cost to the organizations.
In this Video, I have discussed on the traditonal roles and compared with the AWS Cloud setup tasks. So with that one can self assess the skills.
Many Clients are asking the candidates to setup the AWS Infra by giving a scenario based steps. One of our course participants applied for the role of a Pre-sales Engineer, with reference to his past experience.
We have followed the below process to come up with the required setup in two parts, from the client given document.
Part-I: Initially, we have analyzed the requirement and come up with detailed design steps. And tested them. The below video it shows the tested steps discussion and the final solution also. [ be patient for 1 hr]

You can watch the Course specimen from the below videos:
AWS VPC S3-End Point: Trouble shoot for defects also
Folks,
User requirement: The development team needs the S3 Access in private Linux EC2s. They need a separate VPC with S3 End point setup. IAM role need to be given to the developers to access S3 files from EC2 through AWS CLI.
Doing the typical VPC-S3 End point is a normal way. But we tried a different way. We documented the Infra design steps. By following them, we breaked those design steps and demonstrated how the defects can be created at different levels.
So one can learn how the defects can be flown around, in this steps journey. So that the live issues can be understood easily.
Please note; one more thing. The demo participant is from NON-IT, She learnt a lot during this course with weekly 20+ hours dedication. And once the manual infra demo is given, in few days she will come up with IAC scripts demo for the same setup. During the coaching I filter NON-IT People also for their dedication/hard work and prove and learn attitude to utilize my coaching well. Definitely such people are very valid resources for IT organizations. As long as the management understand these people capability, they are not the competitors and no need of doing fake in profiles. There are so many NON-IT dedicated and honest people ready to convince on the interviews comparing to the proxy guys.
You can watch the demo from the below video:
Some more videos from the same participant can be seen below:
If you want to learn the JSON/YAML Code along with AWS manual Infra Domain setup [practice coaching], watch this and connect with me ASAP to join in late evening [IST time] batch. Watch the below sessions also. By attending these sessions for your practice ,It saves lot of your future efforts and its easy to demonstrate the demanding skills in interviews to grab offers on your own globally. Connect with me as its mentioned in the web site main page by following the screening process for both of us.
In this blog, you can find some of my student(s) POCs automation using YAML Scripts with AWS services. [Keep visiting this blog for updates].
AWS: How to work with Boot strapping with EC2sIn every Linux machine, we need to run many updates before its usage. Many Sys Admin people they used to write a script and add into the .profile file in the traditional systems. In this video we have discussed on how to use these scripts with Linux EC2.
Let us also be aware: Due to lacks of certified professionals are available globally in the market on AWS, to differentiate them on their needs/selection, most of the clients are asking on the real experience gained or aware of IAC. They give a Console and ask you to setup a specific Infra setup in AWS.
In my coaching I focus on the candidates to gain the real Cloud Architecture implementation experience rather than pushing the course with screen operations only to complete. Through my posted videos you can watch this USP.
Contact for your real Cloud experiences learning and gaining with me and crack the interviews to get offers in AWS Roles globally or even you can transition to the role in the same company after facing the client interview/selection process. Which is very easy with this knowledge.
Please connect me on FB and have a discussion on your background and the needs/goals. I am looking for the serious learners only by having dedicated time. If you are a busy resource on the projects please note; you can wait to become free to learn. One need to spend time consistently on the practice. Otherwise its going to be in no-use.

This kind of courage and capability you need to build to sustain in the current modern technology implementation in IT.
How A Cloud architect is different from DevOps practices ?
We have been watching on lot of FB Groups and ad sites as “learn DevOps/AWS”. In general everybody believe with these stickers/posters they need to learn AWS and DevOps together is a must for any Modern technology professional.
When we talk about AWS and DevOps they are two different work streams.
Now, one might get the below questions in their mind.
Is a Cloud Architect need to be expert to work on DevOps activities also ?
What are the activities related to Cloud architect ?
Why the Cloud architect need not bother on DevOps ?
Now, let us analyze them as below:
The role of the cloud architect is to migrate the existing IT infrastructure setup into the cloud services. The cloud services can be AWS or Azure or Google cloud [GC] or Alibaba, etc.
From the below picture one can have clarity if they have experience in traditional Infrastructure building practice.
This role need to understand clearly on the usage of those vendor related [AWS/AZURE/GC/Alibaba] cloud services and should have command on mapping the current traditional infrastructure setup to map to the cloud services and plan/design for its transformation with the additional benefits to the management in view of cost and easy operation.
Once the modern application architecture/infrastructure in cloud is operational, then the management can think of introducing the DevOps practices.
To work on DevOps practices, each Cloud services vendor provides their own setup or tools at different processes or pipeline stages. To do these tasks a separate role professionals are required, who are called DevOps Engineers. At this point the role of the cloud Architect is he/she can guide them on the available infrastructure with the Cloud vendor. As per the Cloud architect planning/guidelines the DevOps engineers need to adopt the relevant tools/processes. Basically all the setup is going to be on IAC [Infrastructure As A Code] technics. There can be Configuration tools to create the IAC for different environments. At this point the Cloud architect can monitor these tools implementation as a part of cloud infrastructure implementation.
So, the Cloud architect do not need to make his/her fingers dirty with tools/commands to implement the DevOps processes.
For example; If you read the roles of AWS with different certifications, they mention Solution Architect [SA] separately from DevOps engineer role. They have multiple roles like; Sys ops, Developer, etc. All these roles need to be expert in making their fingers dirty with the relevant AWS services usage/implementation efficiently and effectively . But here the Cloud Architect [which is SA in view of AWS] role is to monitor on their activities only. He/She doesn’t need to put the fingers into techie stuff.
Hope I have given clarity for the above questions.
I get lot of enquiries; as they want to do AWS/DevOps both the courses together. I understood due to lot of training vendors are making their posters on social for their business, these experienced professionals are getting confusion as they need to learn both.
Now, I would like to ask the below questions to you as this blog reader after the above understanding;
Do a modern technology professional need to learn Cloud services and also the DevOps as mandatory ? [Ex: Which is DevOps/AWS].
Answer:It is not. They can choose One route only. If he/she came from the real work experience of Sysadmin/Sys engineer role, the past experiences need to be utilized efficiently in IT Industry. Hence the Scalable role is Cloud architect. In view of AWS it is SA. But they need to have very good command in understanding the traditional architecture and also the cloud services to establish a well suited conversion plan. This role person is responsible to show ROI [Return On Investment] also to the management.
You can also compare the SAA Salary among all the roles being played with AWS:
See the difference on the salary amounts to seek your role as per your professional potentiality.
Question: In the current job market in the JDs they ask on DevOps also for Cloud role why ?
Answer: Please let us note; Many organizations they wanted to use the same resource for Cloud and DevOps Architect/Engineer role to save their IT budget. But they offer more salary for these multi skills. Not only this scenario, there are many companies use multi-cloud technology for their BCP. They will ask these skills also. The skills acceleration is mandated for every Professional now a days. The more skills you acquire the early, your CTC is going to touch the Sky ASAP.

Folks, How to Join in my Facebook groups to learn Cloud cum DevOps Concepts ? For any Trainings many people conduct demos by catching the IT Professionals through their sales people. That demo denotes the trainer has the technical capabilities to handle the course for the attendees. In my coaching also I have followed the similar concept. But I don’t give demos by spending time, as I work as alone. In my case I have created the groups in Facebook: a) DevOps Practices Group, b) Cloud Practices Group c) Free Learning Agile/DevOps/AWS/AZ for freshers and IT Professionals. With few of the web pages by IT topic.
One can learn and assess them by joining. For more details you can watch this video. To join in them, you need to connect with me on FB and Linkedin and send a message. Then only you will be approved. This is a verification process to avoid fake ids.

In recent years, the IT industry has undergone significant changes due to the rise of cloud computing and DevOps. As a result, many traditional ITSM (IT Service Management) professionals are finding themselves in a challenging situation. They must either adapt to these new methodologies and tools or risk becoming obsolete. In this blog post, we will discuss how traditional ITSM professionals can convert into Cloud/DevOps roles and the skills they need to be groomed to make this transition.
First, let’s understand the difference between ITSM, Cloud, and DevOps. ITSM is a set of best practices for managing and delivering IT services to meet business needs. Cloud computing is the delivery of on-demand computing resources such as servers, storage, and applications over the internet. DevOps is a methodology that focuses on collaboration between development and operations teams to deliver software faster and more reliably.
Now, to move from ITSM to Cloud/DevOps, traditional ITSM professionals must learn the relevant tools and methodologies. Cloud and DevOps are all about automation, scalability, and flexibility. Therefore, professionals need to have a good understanding of cloud infrastructure, virtualization, and automation tools like AWS, Azure, Puppet, Chef, and Ansible.
Apart from technical skills, professionals need to develop their soft skills, such as collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills. These skills are essential for working effectively in a DevOps team where communication and collaboration are critical.
To learn these skills, professionals can attend training programs, read relevant books and articles, and participate in online communities. Many online courses and certifications are available, such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, and Google Cloud DevOps Engineer.
Moreover, professionals need to gain hands-on experience by working on projects that involve cloud infrastructure and automation tools. They can start by participating in hackathons, contributing to open-source projects, or building their projects to gain practical knowledge.
In conclusion, traditional ITSM professionals must adapt to the changing IT landscape and acquire new skills to stay relevant. They must be willing to learn and embrace new methodologies and tools to succeed in their careers. COEs (Centers of Excellence) can play a significant role in providing training and support for professionals to make this transition. By doing so, IT companies can retain their knowledgeable employees and stay competitive in the market. At the same time, individuals must take responsibility for their careers and seek expert coaching to make this transition smoothly.
Rebuild Your IT career from ITSM to Infra and DevOps building with traditional exp.
I have not included the real ITSM roles. Those also can utilize into the conversion. Case to case it can be discussed. Each Organization has their own title and using them for ITSM delivery also. These role guys can work easily for implementing the IT governance in Cloud/DevOps comparatively with other roles.
This is the Stage1 Course Highlight. You will be coached for the concepts of JSON/YAML scripts towards writing the AWS Cloud service components creation. Your personal practice efforts are mandated here.
Also be aware on the below points [Published in a blog also] :
I feel; For every DevOps Professional learning Infra building activity is mandatory. See the issues, what you are facing within them. Atleast one of them you are facing from your end as mentioned in the below slide/video. Then there is a gap in your implementation practice with lack of learning in a right method with best practices. So think on your actions after the below videos watching!
The new Internship programme is made for the working IT Professionals, AS PART TIME. WHICH IS ONGOING.
Please see the below blog for details and also watch the discussion with a new participant on the size of the POCs during the coaching:
If you are in the below roles, in the current recession you will be targeted for pinkslip among the IT professionals as 1st exit group. What you need to do on your career replan. Please see/follow the blog/videos with patience.
As per my observation and practice with the trending technology [Cloud], all the Cloud services vendors have inbuilt serverless computing for many services. The following roles are going to be vanished or reskilled. But if they are kept under recession staff cut, these professionals need to take care of their career.
1. DBA:–>The DBA tasks are embedded as part of these services. So the DBAs used to sit hours together in the past to perform many mundane tasks. Now these all are automated.
2. Similarly, many other tasks are related to infra roles; Network admin/Sys-Admin are also automated through Cloud services.
3. As a consolidation all these 3 roles are clubbed into one role of Cloud Engineer. This role’s major task is to automate all the Cloud setup related activities under IAC[Infrastructure As Code]. In future only the IAC will sustain to save the cost to IT by automating the cloud setup creation activity.
4. If any professional need to compete with this role means; they need to understand the Infra needs and the past roles tasks in depth. Along with the multiple Infra related architecture scenarios, with in-depth knowledge on Cloud technology. Then only they can analyze the IAC requirements clearly to write the code and test it. This is the domain analysis and design activity they need to consider apart from the Cloud technology learning.
5. We can also see the Storage engineer role. All the Cloud vendors have the Cloud Storage services. With them mundane tasks creation/maintenance is vanished. Hence this role also will not exist.
The below video has the discussion on: A) What IT Roles can vanish after migrating to Cloud? B) How the roles/tasks are being transformed to Cloud through serverless computing technology ? C) Why anybody can learn and do the past Infra roles with Cloud ? D) What all they need to learn ? E) How the organizations can demand an employee to convert into modern technology before taking a decision for a pink slip serving ? Finally, what are the following roles and their tasks: Traditional Infrastructure building roles: 1.Network Admin/Engineer 2.System Administrator 3.Database Administrator 4. Deployment Engineer
5. Storage Engineer — There is a separate video done for this role education:
F) Among the above which role can pickup faster the Cloud/DevOps Automation technology ? G) Then How these roles can perform in Cloud with faster deployment ? H) Why and how the manpower reduction happen after Cloud implementation ?
I) Why do you need to learn from the experienced IT mentors to transform into modern technology ?
K) Some people say, they can learn by self. How much they can learn and cope-up with the current market needs on various technologies to settle in modern technology ? [refer to point#5 in this blog].
L) Why do you need to spend/invest more money to re-settle in the modern technology ?
Note: Along with this video, there are multiple blogs I have published with Videos links to make awareness to the IT Professionals. You see those blogs from this site itself.
For further understanding please read the below text:
In the current IT World Cloud computing became regular practice for any IT Professional. Any cloud services we use, we need to know the current/traditional infrastructure setup. But every IT professional may not have that background/knowledge to understand. Because in this industry each of us played different roles.
The Infra activities handled IT Professional only will come to know this knowledge and will have experience. But the industry needs every IT employee need to know this knowledge apart from the Cloud service provider [Ex: AWS, Azure, GC, etc..] products operations. [Eventhough, if you are a certified Solutions architect with that Cloud service provider.]
Then only whoever the professionals are certified they will be able to use these products/services and implement them under cloud setup. Hence the Infra domain knowledge or experience is mandated for every IT professional who is working for Cloud services or in that infra setup. I have been hearing during Cloud professionals recruitment the interviewers are keeping some questions on this area also. If one understand the Network domain setup then only they will be able to design the Cloud architecture. Hence more employers are worried to have this domain knowledge with the Certified and recruited Cloud professionals.
I have started a Cloud Practices group to educate/share the IT professionals with this domain knowledge. The below link can be used to join/apply:

Most of the Blogs on websites are operated by WordPress[WP] software which is developed in PHP. Even my site [vskumar.blog] is from this software. To setup the WP, there are tier based architecture/setup required. For PHP related software we can have a 2-tier architecture setup.
In this demo video the WP site building project was discussed with different design steps towards AWS components and it was demonstrated well by one of our [experienced IT Professional] students well.
These are weekly assignments they get and they need to prove by themselves with a demo in a team; like live environment how it happens in a typical project team. By attending this activity delivery on weekly basis, one will not get any fear/scareness on doing the live infra tasks. They will be habituated with the project activities when they join in real job. And they will be productive resources from day one onwards. These are the major benefits from my course.
When we have two networks in traditional methods, we used to do internal networking within the premises. And used those servers for Software APIs. Also the Sysadmin/DBAs/Network Admin role people used to manage them well. But in Cloud how to implement this kind of setup ?
Now, In Cloud how this internetworking can be done through VPC peering ?
Watch this introduction chapter before you go to the below POCs:
In this POC project, it is well proven how we can create such kind of environment by using 2 VPCs and their peering with deeper analysis and the design steps of different services. And how the private subnet related Linux and Windows EC2s can be accessed by using NAT and Jump Servers?. And how to operate another VPC EC2 from one VPC EC2 ? Just watch this design steps analysis video from the below link:
In the below video a POC analysis is discussed with an Experienced Cloud/DevOps professional.
Watch the below video for How to config NATGATEWAY and use it for Private EC2 MySql config.

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.
So you are royally! cheated very well to give the offer!!
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 anddepend 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 !
Are you getting into the wrong shoes [Proxy] for client interviews ?
After you join in job [in India] what happens ?
Are you aware; your profile is going to be in Indian NASSCOM DB to track by your future employers [for Indian jobs].
So, whatever the current employer has the faked profile it is going to be entered by HRs after you are proved as fake profile, into NASSCOM DB.
In such case are you going to be into a right company in future ?
Do you want to destroy your career by proxy agents ?

Folks, After the Massive Global recession in IT also. The Cloud/DevOps automation roles will be in hectic demand. If one learns the below discussed skills they are the hot professionals in the global IT for higher/self demanding CTC. The IT market will be dry for these skills.
What is IAAS and how it can be used from traditional setup to the Virtual/Cloud setup ?
What is PAAS and how it can be used from development/customization of the tools ?
What is SAAS and how these can be hosted into the Virtual/Cloud setup ?
If you have a Payroll application and running regularly. And now you found Cloud infra is a sophisticated one rather using the old or outdated systems, you called a Cloud expert. And what questions you need to ask him/her ? How he should answer to provide the solutions ?
This video has the above discussions with different scenarios. Once can brush up their interview skills well on these aspects.
DevOps is a terminology used to refer to a set of principles and practices to emphasize the collaboration and communication of Information Technology [IT] professionals in a software project organization, while automating the process of software delivery and infrastructure using Continuous Delivery Integration[CDI] methods.
The DevOps is also connecting the teams of Development and Operations together to work collaboratively to deliver the Software to the customers in an iterative development model by adopting Continuous Delivery Integration [CDI] concepts. The software delivery happens in small pieces at different delivery intervals. Sometimes these intervals can be accelerated depends on the customer demand.
The DevOps is a new practice globally adopted by many companies and its importance and implementation is accelerating by maintaining constant speed. So every IT professional need to learn the concepts of DevOps and its Continuous Delivery Integration [CDI] methods. To know the typical DevOps activities by role just watch the video: https://youtu.be/vpgi5zZd6bs, it is pasted below in videos.
Even a college graduate or freshers also need to have this knowledge or practices to work closely with their new project teams in a company. If a fresher attends this course he/she can get into the project shoes faster to cope up with the experienced teams.
Another way; The DevOps is an extension practice of Agile and continuous delivery. To merge into this career; the IT professionals need to learn the Agile concepts, Software configuration management, Release management, deployment management and different DevOps principles and practices to implement the CDI patterns. The relevant tools for these practices integration. There are various tool vendors in the market. Also open source tools are very famous. Using these tools the DevOps practices can be integrated to maintain the speed for CDI.
There are tools related with version control and CDI automation. One need to learn the process steps related to these areas by attending a course. Then the tools can be understood easily. If one understands these CDI automation practices and later on learning the tools process is very easy by self also depends on their work environment.
As mentioned in the above; Every IT company or IT services company need to adopt the DevOps practices for their customers competent service delivery in global IT industry. When these companies adopt these practices, their resources also need to be with thorough knowledge of DevOps practices to serve to the customers. The companies can get more benefit by having these knowledged resources. At the same time the new joinees in any company either experienced or fresher professional if they have this knowledge, their CTC in view of perks will be offered more or with competent offer they may be invited to join in that company.
Let us know if you need DevOps training from the IT industry experienced people; which includes the above practice areas to boost you in the IT industry.

Why the DevOps practice team is required to involve in Infra cloud planning?
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 the course/coaching feedback reviews, from IT and NON-IT Professionals visit:
Following is on the Mock interviews service which I offer:
I have conducted the Mock interviews for One experienced DevOps Sr. professional on the below roles, who attended a crash course in 2 months duration. He gained lot of courage and confidence later on. Now he is a Platform Architect. [not interested to reveal his details, as many people are disturbing him to clarify their non-sense doubts without understanding the value of this course and the curriculum, even after provided the courses specimen openly through blogs/videos]:
1. Cloud Architect role
2. DevOps Architect Partner role
3. DevOps Engineer role
I have listed the above roles related video only in the below blog. He also attended for Sr.SRE roles also.
After completion of two stages of my coaching I do the above kind of mock interviews for my students.
But there is a separate mock interview service also I offer for the experienced Cloud/DevOps Professionals to groom them for interviews. Not for the fake profiles. I reject the fake profiles in my 1st 1-2 calls only.
You can attend “practice mock interviews” sessions. See the samples.

READ READ READ CAREFULLY!!! FOR ORIGINAL IT PROFESSIONALS ONLY
HOW PROXY interview companies ARE BEING OPERATED ?
How they have been stealing your jobs in the IT Market ?
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.
So you are royally! cheated very well to give the offer!!
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 anddepend 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 !
Are you getting into the wrong shoes [Proxy] for client interviews ?
After you join in job [in India] what happens ?
Are you aware; your profile is going to be in Indian NASSCOM DB to track by your future employers [for Indian jobs].
So, whatever the current employer has the faked profile it is going to be entered by HRs after you are proved as fake profile, into NASSCOM DB.
In such case are you going to be into a right company in future ?
Do you want to destroy your career by proxy agents ?

If you are in the below roles, in the current recession you will be targeted for pinkslip among the IT professionals as 1st exit group. What you need to do on your career replan. Please see/follow the blog/videos with patience.
As per my observation and practice with the trending technology [Cloud], all the Cloud services vendors have inbuilt serverless computing for many services. The following roles are going to be vanished or reskilled. But if they are kept under recession staff cut, these professionals need to take care of their career.
1. DBA:–>The DBA tasks are embedded as part of these services. So the DBAs used to sit hours together in the past to perform many mundane tasks. Now these all are automated.
2. Similarly, many other tasks are related to infra roles; Network admin/Sys-Admin are also automated through Cloud services.
3. As a consolidation all these 3 roles are clubbed into one role of Cloud Engineer. This role’s major task is to automate all the Cloud setup related activities under IAC[Infrastructure As Code]. In future only the IAC will sustain to save the cost to IT by automating the cloud setup creation activity.
4. If any professional need to compete with this role means; they need to understand the Infra needs and the past roles tasks in depth. Along with the multiple Infra related architecture scenarios, with in-depth knowledge on Cloud technology. Then only they can analyze the IAC requirements clearly to write the code and test it. This is the domain analysis and design activity they need to consider apart from the Cloud technology learning.
5. We can also see the Storage engineer role. All the Cloud vendors have the Cloud Storage services. With them mundane tasks creation/maintenance is vanished. Hence this role also will not exist.
The below video has the discussion on: A) What IT Roles can vanish after migrating to Cloud? B) How the roles/tasks are being transformed to Cloud through serverless computing technology ? C) Why anybody can learn and do the past Infra roles with Cloud ? D) What all they need to learn ? E) How the organizations can demand an employee to convert into modern technology before taking a decision for a pink slip serving ? Finally, what are the following roles and their tasks: Traditional Infrastructure building roles: 1.Network Admin/Engineer 2.System Administrator 3.Database Administrator 4. Deployment Engineer
F) Among the above which role can pickup faster the Cloud/DevOps Automation technology ? G) Then How these roles can perform in Cloud with faster deployment ? H) Why and how the manpower reduction happen after Cloud implementation ?
I) Why do you need to learn from the experienced IT mentors to transform into modern technology ?
K) Some people say, they can learn by self. How much they can learn and cope-up with the current market needs on various technologies to settle in modern technology ? [refer to point#5 in this blog].
L) Why do you need to spend/invest more money to re-settle in the modern technology ?
Note: Along with this video, there are multiple blogs I have published with Videos links to make awareness to the IT Professionals. You see those blogs from this site itself.
For further understanding please read the below text:
In the current IT World Cloud computing became regular practice for any IT Professional. Any cloud services we use, we need to know the current/traditional infrastructure setup. But every IT professional may not have that background/knowledge to understand. Because in this industry each of us played different roles.
The Infra activities handled IT Professional only will come to know this knowledge and will have experience. But the industry needs every IT employee need to know this knowledge apart from the Cloud service provider [Ex: AWS, Azure, GC, etc..] products operations. [Eventhough, if you are a certified Solutions architect with that Cloud service provider.]
Then only whoever the professionals are certified they will be able to use these products/services and implement them under cloud setup. Hence the Infra domain knowledge or experience is mandated for every IT professional who is working for Cloud services or in that infra setup. I have been hearing during Cloud professionals recruitment the interviewers are keeping some questions on this area also. If one understand the Network domain setup then only they will be able to design the Cloud architecture. Hence more employers are worried to have this domain knowledge with the Certified and recruited Cloud professionals.
I have started a Cloud Practices group to educate/share the IT professionals with this domain knowledge. The below link can be used to join/apply:
