The future of software is in the cloud — and companies need developers who can build and manage applications that scale across servers and continents.
Cloud programming involves using platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to host applications, store data, and deliver services globally. Cloud engineers work with containers (like Docker), infrastructure as code (Terraform), and continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD) tools (like Jenkins and GitHub Actions).
DevOps is a practice that merges development and IT operations to streamline product delivery. It emphasizes automation, collaboration, and monitoring. DevOps engineers play a key role in agile teams and are essential for fast-paced environments.
You’ll learn how to:
- Deploy secure web apps to the cloud
- Scale apps based on demand
- Automate updates and rollbacks
- Monitor uptime and performance
Cloud and DevOps skills are incredibly valuable in Canada’s job market, especially in sectors like fintech, SaaS, and government IT infrastructure.
