Don’t choose a cloud role by title; choose it by the problems you enjoy solving: support/troubleshooting, automation, security, cost, architecture, data, or customer guidance. Then build one strong foundation first: networking + Linux + IAM + automation + one cloud platform, because every serious cloud role depends on these.

If one is working in support roles core infra roles so which one will be best to switch to?

great orientation video. the one thing 13 minutes can't capture: how blurry these roles get in practice, especially in multi-cloud environments. cloud engineers are writing DR plans, SREs are doing security reviews, DevOps engineers are managing infra across AWS and Azure simultaneously — the clean job titles don't reflect the actual scope. if you're drawn to the resilience/reliability side of cloud, Dexity has a multi-cloud resilience engineering sprint — Terraform across AWS, Azure, GCP, chaos engineering, real DR plans with tested RTO/RPO. built for people already in cloud who want to go deeper, not start from scratch.
