Generative AI for Cloud Engineers

Generative AI for Cloud Engineers is a practical course designed for cloud engineers, DevOps engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), cloud architects, platform engineers, infrastructure engineers, cloud security professionals and technical teams who want to apply modern artificial intelligence across cloud engineering and cloud operations.

The course explores how Generative AI, ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, large language models (LLMs) and prompt engineering can support AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep, Kubernetes, Helm, CI/CD, DevOps, SRE, cloud monitoring, observability, cloud security, cost optimization, serverless architectures, microservices and cloud automation.

Rather than treating Generative AI as simply a coding assistant, this course focuses specifically on real-world cloud engineering workflows. Learners explore how AI can help generate Infrastructure as Code templates, create Kubernetes manifests, support CI/CD pipelines, analyze cloud logs, summarize metrics, troubleshoot cloud incidents, investigate performance anomalies, optimize cloud resources, review IAM policies, create security documentation and automate repetitive cloud operations.

Generative AI can help identify opportunities for investigation while engineers and FinOps professionals validate the commercial and operational implications.

Generative AI for AWS, Azure & Google Cloud

The course takes a multi-cloud approach and explores Generative AI applications across:

Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Microsoft Azure
Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Learners explore cloud-specific and cross-cloud workflows involving infrastructure automation, cloud-native development, serverless computing, security, monitoring and AI services.

You will also explore how Generative AI can help compare equivalent services across AWS, Azure and GCP and support multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud architecture analysis.

Cloud Security, IAM & Compliance

Generative AI can also assist cloud engineers with security-related workflows involving:

• IAM policy review

• Cloud misconfiguration analysis

• KMS and encryption

• Audit logs

• Security posture documentation

• Cloud security reporting

• Policy drift

• Compliance documentation

The course introduces AI-supported workflows involving CIS, HIPAA, GDPR and cloud governance while emphasizing that AI-generated documentation does not itself establish compliance.

Security-sensitive configurations should always be verified before implementation.

Serverless & Microservices Development

Explore how Generative AI can support modern cloud-native software architectures.

Applications include:

• AWS Lambda

• Azure Functions

• Google Cloud Functions

• Serverless applications
