As
companies use cloud technologies to transform at a rapid pace, many recognize
that their organization needs cloud expertise to achieve its goals. However,
research shows that 90% of IT decision makers report cloud skills shortages in
their workforce (Global Knowledge, 2018 IT Skills and Salary Report, 2018).
Professionals with experience in cloud architecture on how to best plan,
design, develop, migrate and use cloud applications are in high demand.
Early
in my Amazon Web Services (AWS) career, I was one of the company's (and
industry's) first Cloud Solutions Architects. Since then, the use of the cloud
has grown dramatically, as has the number of services and features available to
cloud builders. I now lead certification and training programs where we provide
individuals and organizations with the training and validation of skills to
confidently implement cloud initiatives. The role of the cloud architect is in
high demand and will continue to present endless opportunities for business
growth and innovation.
What
are the key skills required to be a successful cloud architect? Read on to
learn the best skills employers seek and professionals can develop to harness
the business momentum and potential of the cloud today.
