What is the role of a Cloud Developer?

  1. Focusing on development for the cloud infrastructure itself, including client tools or systems components.

  2. Monitoring the applications, data, and services residing in the cloud.

  3. Ensuring that storage components are functioning according to requirements.

  4. Purchasing hosting services and re-selling them to its own customers.

The correct answer is: Focusing on development for the cloud infrastructure itself, including client tools or systems components.

The role of a Cloud Developer primarily revolves around the creation and development of applications and services that operate within cloud environments. This entails crafting software that is specifically designed to leverage cloud capabilities, including scalability, flexibility, and the use of cloud-native technologies. Focusing on development for cloud infrastructure includes working with various programming languages, frameworks, and tools that allow the deployment and management of applications in the cloud. Cloud Developers also play a critical role in integrating those applications with existing systems and services, ensuring they communicate seamlessly and efficiently. This contrasts sharply with other roles, such as monitoring applications, data, and services, which is typically the responsibility of Cloud Operations or DevOps teams. Similarly, ensuring the functionality of storage components and purchasing hosting services to re-sell them falls outside the core duties of a Cloud Developer, as these tasks are linked to operations management and service provisioning rather than application development. Thus, the emphasis on building and deploying cloud-based applications confirms that option A accurately captures the essence of what a Cloud Developer does.
