AWS Cloud Engineer freelance jobs (remote only)

DevOps is a philosophy that integrates software development and its maintenance in a single seamless workflow. In the DevOps culture, the development team shares responsibilities for creating, implementing, and generating revenue from customer-centric software.

Companies implement DevOps practices to solve key issues inherent to most organizations:

• Align workflows of development and maintenance teams.
• Optimize the release strategies, reduce bugs, and unexpected failures.
• Keep up with frequent software updates and maintain proper software quality at the same time.

Amazon AWS tools get in sync with DevOps workflows, offering a variety of ready-made solutions for development tasks. Cloud development is more flexible in planning, installation, and administration than physical servers since the required infrastructure can be configured in a few clicks. Cloud solutions are especially effective in startup projects when the load is unstable and developers need to test the configuration. Specialists that work with these tools are AWS Cloud Engineers. They're in high demand in an IT job market as they're truly multi-skilled T-shaped professionals.
