But it can be hard to know where to invest your resources.
Tech is changing faster than ever before, and so are employers’ needs. That’s why it’s crucial to put your efforts into reliable, high-demand areas.
With that in mind, the top content pros at Cloud Academy created The Definitive Guide to Cloud Certifications. It’s chock-full of great information on getting certified to help existing and aspiring cloud practitioners take the next step in their careers.
So where should you start?
Expanding your knowledge in any of these areas is a safe way to increase your market potential –– now and in the future.
Azure is the fastest growing cloud provider, reporting 51% growth in the last quarter of 2021 alone. Even better? A certification in Azure can lead to careers in sales, support, and C-suite level roles.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a well-known major player in the cloud computing industry. There are four primary areas of focus in AWS: cloud concepts, security and compliance, technology, and billing and pricing.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP), another rocketing cloud provider, created demand for the highest paid IT certification in 2021. GCP’s focus on open source and DevOps makes it a great choice for practitioners looking to venture into big data, analytics, and machine learning.
As companies and organizations migrate to the cloud, it’s critical that they bolster against cyber attacks and data breaches. And since the majority of breaches are the result of undertrained security personnel, it’s even more important to hire and upskill cybersecurity pros.
Though DevOps is essential to cloud computing, it can be nebulous to approach. Fortunately, DevOps certifications do a great job of making sure practitioners have a clear understanding of coding, scripting, QA testing, and cloud infrastructures –– whether they’re platform-specific or not.
Now’s a good time to think about where you want to go in your career –– and change is within reach. Getting certified makes it even easier.
