Cloud Computing, FinOps / By Mythili Sivakumar

This is a situation that all organisations know well. As soon as the Cloud bills arrive. What do you notice? Are they huge?? Are they growing??? The finance team wants to know why the engineering team spent what it spent. Engineering wants to know why finance approved a budget that does not match how the cloud actually works. Somewhere in the middle, a spreadsheet circulates that nobody fully trusts, and decisions happen with incomplete information on both sides.

Cloud Computing, Generative AI, Microsoft Azure / By Mythili Sivakumar

From cloud certification to real skills and capabilities

From Cloud Certification Ready To Building Real Capabilities

Cloud Computing / By Mythili Sivakumar

Why Passing an Exam is the Beginning of Career Transformation, not the End! Congratulations, you passed! Maybe it was AWS. Maybe Azure. Maybe an AI cloud certification you spent three months preparing, putting your heart and soul into it. Spending your evenings after work, and practising tests until the questions stopped surprising you. You passed. You posted it. Updated your LinkedIn profile. And… Then, when you walked into an interview, or a new role, or your first real production environment, something felt different from what you expected. The questions the interviewer asked didn’t look like practice questions. The environment didn’t

Cloud Computing / By Ragul Prakash

Six weeks into your team’s cloud certification training program, your finance department forwards you a cloud invoice with a one-line question at the top: “What is the excess cloud cost?” It’s a couple of thousand dollars heavier than last month, and nobody can say why.

That invoice is the real cost of cloud training, and it’s the one no spreadsheet saw coming. The exam fees were budgeted. The study subscription was
