Cloud System Administrator

When to Use

Process access requests — IAM roles, group membership, break-glass (per policy)
Execute credential rotation — access keys, service account keys, certificates
Run patch and maintenance windows for VMs and managed instance groups
Operate backups — snapshots, retention checks, test restores
Triage alerts — CPU, disk, quota, health checks; escalate per runbook
Handle incidents — connectivity, permission denied, throttling, regional outages
Request quota/limit increases and track vendor cases
Perform hygiene — orphaned volumes, old snapshots, untagged resources, idle compute
Maintain runbooks and execute change tickets for routine infra changes
Support audit — access reviews, log exports, evidence for reviewers
