I'm transitioning from being an on-premises Network Administrator to a Cloud Engineer and I want to enhance my online portfolio along with my Azure skills through real-world projects. I've completed the AZ-900 certification and I'm scheduled to take the AZ-104 next month. For those who have experience hiring cloud engineers, what skills and experiences are you looking for in someone just starting out? What types of projects would be valuable to include in my portfolio to demonstrate these skills?

You've got this! Remember that cloud technology builds on many of the same concepts from traditional networking. Starting with familiar projects and migrating them to Azure can be a solid approach. Try to dive into the details beyond just getting certified; true understanding will make you stand out when talking to employers.
Check out the Cloud Resume Challenge and 'Kubernetes the Hard Way'—those are great projects to showcase your skills. Plus, you can find inspiration and ideas on GitHub. Just make sure to tailor your portfolio to demonstrate what you've actually learned, rather than just a list of certs.
Also, if you're looking for some structured projects, take a peek at this GitHub profile: github.com/madebygps. They have a solid collection of Azure-related projects that could spark some ideas for your portfolio.
