When I got into DevOps, I didn’t enjoy the pipelines and Dockerfiles part (and with AI now, not remotely fun imo) but rather the system and operations part, design and architecture were basically what I thought would happen later on with even a sprinkle of security and I was told that this was either SRE or Cloud but with every name meaning something I am so lost, does it matter? So if I apply as an SRE, can I still touch the cloud (pun intended) and if I apply for a cloud engineer position, will I look at how the system operates or are they different, and if they are, could someone explain what an SRE would do from day to day? because if it’s DevOps on steroids but for monitoring then I may try leaning towards cloud engineer/architect and if both are basic scripting now then I’ll simply jump boats to security or buy a goat and start a farm. thanks! submitted by /u/bdhd656 [link] [comments]
