What is an administrator?

A budding administrator assists in the implementation, management, and monitoring of identity, governance, storage, compute, and virtual networks in a cloud environment, plus provision, size, monitor, and adjust resources, when needed. An administrator often serves as part of a larger team dedicated to implementing an organization's cloud infrastructure. To start your administrator journey, you need to learn the cloud basics.
