This is a fairly similar question to asking what skills are needed to be a "Front-End Developer". What technologies are you most interested in/ are in-demand where you are seeking employment?

Don't just think up a job title and then learn to do that.

Try drilling down deeper, doing research in your area, or just learning what is popular, and you will usually have a title that matches it.

That's what I'm trying to figure out I guess. I have some skill sets which may be fall under "Cloud Developer" skills like: building microservices in Java, building containers, know how to write serverless apps.

But is that it? I mean with a "Front-End Developer" you can at least ask the framework they build in.

What I'm trying to find (and may not be able to) is what it would mean to be a "Cloud Developer". Something as simple as throwing an API on an AWS instance doesn't seem like it would qualify but hosting a number of containers in AWS does?
