A cloud engineer builds, configures and runs an organisation's infrastructure on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. They keep environments working, secure and cost-controlled, so teams usually hire one as their cloud estate grows.
A DevOps engineer builds and maintains the pipelines, infrastructure and automation that let software teams ship to production quickly and safely. Companies usually hire one when releases have become slow, manual or risky.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of describing servers, networks and cloud services in version-controlled files. Environments are then created and changed by running that code rather than by clicking through a console.
A cloud architect designs how an organisation's systems run on cloud platforms, choosing services, network layout, security controls and cost structures. Businesses bring one in before a migration or when cloud sprawl and spend become hard to control.
Cloud architects design how systems run in the cloud; cloud engineers build and operate them. The architect owns the design decisions across the estate, and the engineer turns them into working environments.
