Cloud networking vs traditional networking

Locked

Tags: Networking

I want to have a career in traditional networking. However I’ve just acquired new information of cloud networking. I just wanted to know if anyone has the answer. Could I still get a job in traditional networking job in 2/3 years. And when roughly will cloud networking be completely used in everywhere.

Very few will work at a “Cloud” vendor.

So for now your cloud networking is same as other networks. You didn’t give me any example so let’s define a few concepts first:
-> Cloud computing involves renting third-party servers for storage, hosting applications, and managing databases over the internet. Whereas, using off-premise servers and network resources to build and manage your IT network is called cloud networking.

Even with that, you are highly unlikely to set such up. Get your basic networking done first.

Also, yes to your question that you forgot to add a question mark.

Hello this is Gulshan Negi
Well, I search about it and I found that both cloud networking and traditional networking are excellent career paths, each with its own opportunities and challenges. Conventional systems administration stays pertinent, particularly in ventures with on-premises foundation and explicit security prerequisites. In any case, the developing prevalence of distributed computing has expanded the interest for cloud organizing trained professionals, as associations take on cloud administrations for their versatility and adaptability.
Thanks

Let’s read that again.

“Cloud computing involves renting third-party servers for storage, hosting applications, and managing databases over the internet.”

As such this won’t be about classic IT work but more of a sourcing and shopping position. You as the person setting up the cloud computing for your company won’t be getting into networking at all but getting your RFQ down pat then shopping at the various cloud providers.

That’s an entirely different skill set.
