Your cloud computing job questions, answered

Is demand high for cloud skills?

Yes, extremely. Demand for experienced cloud professionals has soared in recent months owing to the switch to remote and hybrid working, taking the focus away from on-premise.
 
Migration experience with the three major players – AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure – are a safe bet for securing a new job, as well as having experience in related areas such as cyber security, DevOps and database and programming language skills.

What is the average salary for a cloud specialist in Australia?

It usually starts at around $85,000 for more junior roles, but this is dependent on location. As a cloud engineer in Sydney or Melbourne you would be looking at a typical salary of $130,000 and as a cloud architect $180,000 per annum.

What skills will help me progress my career in cloud?

Traditional infrastructure skills are a good foundation. Cyber security experience is useful, as organisations look to mitigate risk to new operating models. A CCSP certification can help if you’re interested in specialising in this area.
 
Database and programming language skills will also give you an edge. As the storage and management of cloud data continues to be a priority, database language skills such as SQL, MySQL and Hadoop will be critical.
 
Finally, those with strong DevOps engineering skills are in high demand, supporting businesses in the effective and efficient release of products and software. It’s important to have an in-depth and provable understanding of developer and testing practices, and you should also be able to work in a team in a collaborative, agile way.

What certifications are important when working in cloud?

This depends on what platform you’re working with. The three main players have extensive learning programmes to validate your expertise. For AWS, the foundation certificate is the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
 
After completing that, you can choose to take additional levels of certification, which are available for associate level and professional level in architecture, development and operations. You can also look at taking specialty certifications in areas like Big Data and advanced networking.
 
Microsoft Azure also has a number of certifications split broadly into three levels – Fundamental Level, Associate Level and Expert Level, while Google Cloud has its own training platform with Associate and Professional level certifications.

What trends can we expect to see in cloud in 2021?

Machine learning and AI will have a big part to play. The top cloud platforms – Azure, AWS, Google Cloud – are all investing heavily in these technologies, combining to create the ‘intelligent cloud’.
 
Intelligent cloud solves difficult problems and optimises the use of data science. The result? Increased capabilities. Personalised experiences. Real-time feedback. You can expect to hear plenty about these this year.
