Dear Hiring Manager, I am applying for the Cloud Engineer position at [Company]. I have [number] years of experience as a cloud engineer, most recently at [Current company], where my focus is networking, infrastructure as code, cost control. Two results from that work: - Built the AWS foundation for 60 services: networks, accounts and access rules, all in Terraform - Cut the cloud bill by 27% with reserved capacity and by switching off idle resources [One or two sentences on why this company: a product you use, a goal from the posting, a problem you can help with.] I would bring the same focus on measurable results, and hands-on experience with Python, Kubernetes and AWS, which the posting asks for. I would welcome the chance to talk about how I can help. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, [Your name]
