The moment is propitious! The Cloud market is more vibrant than ever and the professions that gravitate around this galaxy are among the most sought after and prestigious. Also because the explosion of Cloud Computing implementations “driven” by the pandemic and the thousands of companies that have moved too quickly to the Cloud have created a perfect storm. Most companies now realize that they have to correct many architectural and implementation errors, as well as keep up with the rapid growth of Multicloud and more complex Cloud Computing systems.

Not only that, complexity continues to increase costs and risks. Migration is an operation that requires good planning and architecture. And the race to the Cloud and the Cloud skills shortage that soon followed saw many jobs filled by incorrectly qualified candidates. It’s still happening. Suffice it to say that many companies hire new staff to repair what others have broken.
Here are some professions that can guarantee satisfaction and opportunities for growth.

The Cloud Architect, for example. It seems pretty clear that the demand for good Cloud architecture has caused the demand for good Cloud architects to explode. It’s a great career path that can lead to many other leadership opportunities. There is no certification that you will need even though many descriptions call for Cloud architecture certifications, and a good Cloud architect should understand a wide variety of technologies. In addition, they must understand legacy, cloud, edge, and other emerging architecture models and technologies. Most of the best architects come from development and have worked on a wide range of platforms. They also have a deep understanding of cloud technology and don’t show up on day one with an underlying bias toward any technology. Training normally takes place on the job working on many projects as a technical leader and then moving into the role of architect.

Then there is the Operation Engineer. It should be noted that there is a huge need for Cloud Operations Engineers in the Cloud Computing industry right now. Businesses need talent to tackle the problem, and cloud operations engineers will have their hands full to keep things up and running. This is a role that can be standalone, meaning it focuses only on Cloud Operations (Cloudops), or it can be the operational part of Devops. However, you need a greater understanding of development, testing, and deployment.
The basic idea is that a professional cloud operations engineer must be good at managing public clouds in single or multicloud deployments. Again, that means having a wide range of skills that include performance engineering, AIops, application- and data-level monitoring, security operations. There are operational certifications, but they are typically specific to a Cloud brand.

Finally, there is the Cloud Security Engineer. Companies cannot afford not to value or ignore this professionalism. Today , cybersecurity is too important and vital for many companies operating online , and not taking care of it would be a serious mistake. You need to have a deep understanding of Cloud Computing security, as well as security in general, from network security to data and storage security, identity management to multi-factor authentication. Cloud computing security incidents are on the rise, and many of them can be traced back to human error, which usually means poor cloud security design.
