@MonicaCellio I'm waiting on an offer letter for a cloud architect position and my permanent residence application to Canada has been approved. Things are looking up.
@MonicaCellio It's easier to apply outside Canada than from inside. Also, I can keep working in Boston till everything is finalized in Canada. There's still some paperwork to figure out but I don't think it's a huge deal.
And again, I don't understand why a question that clearly asks for brainstorming help on what to write doesn't get closed.
Please explain the site rules regarding "what to write" in sufficient detail for me to understand them.
Thank you.
@Green oh, you're in Boston? That's where most of my company is. (Well, "company" in the sense of "coherent unit that used to be a company but is now part of a much larger company", but I don't really think of the parent as my company.)
@Amadeus If I get the position, in 6 to 8 months, I'll be exposed to pretty much everything the cloud has to offer. No one can know everything since 'The Cloud' is too large and changes too fast to stay on top of everything.
At the most basic, The Cloud is someone else's datacenter. Reality is that lots of things change when you can spit up an entire datacenter's worth of servers and networking hardware in a few minutes.
@Green I'm familiar. PhD in CS, MS in Mathematics. I was a dually appointed professor to CS and Mechanical Engineering, for a year in my life. Currently a research scientist, but not involved in cloud computing.
@Amadeus Have you done much with finite element simulations? I'm working on a person science project where I heat up hydrogen to at least 3000K (among other things).
@Green I did those for fluid dynamics back in college, as part of the math curriculum. I haven't done any for some time; I am mostly into statistical science now, which feeds into machine learning applications, for government clients. I have heard of several learning algorithms designed for the cloud.
