Cloud Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Cloud Department

Cloud computing has transformed how organisations in the UK and worldwide design, deliver, and maintain their IT infrastructure. Whether it’s migrating on-premise workloads to the cloud, building cloud-native applications, or optimising for cost, performance, and security — organisations of all sizes need cloud teams with clearly defined roles.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Cloud Computing Skills in 2025/26

Cloud computing has become the backbone of digital transformation.
