The public cloud, whether it is platform as a service, infrastructure as a service or software as a service, have all been in the area of growth for over a decade now. The Covid-19 pandemic further hard-pressed the accelerator for this growth by pushing for immediate decisions and actions on the movement towards cloud. Companies are currently investing far more than the traditional IT spending in cloud infrastructure and this is expected to keep growing faster. Very naturally, this led to a high demand for cloud enabled engineers across the globe. More companies are either aggressively rescaling on existing resources or on the lookout for skilled resources in the space. And this demand is only set to grow with time. As per a report from Seen by Indeed, between October 2015 to October 2019, the share of cloud computing jobs, per million, increased by 55 percent and also, it is estimated that India will be set to see more than a million cloud computing job roles by 2022 as per a report by Great Learning.
But then, with this demand also comes the responsibility of understanding what the best ways are to get the right skills or right resources with suitable skills. For the people who are looking at the opportunities in this space, they need to understand what the best skills are that they can have in order to enter this ever-growing industry of cloud with huge number of opportunities.
