Why Specialise in Microsoft Azure Cloud For Your DevOps Skills?
Gerry Darley
Why specialise in Azure ☁️ for your DevOps skills?
Recently my focus in recruiting DevOps has responded to client demand - I'm focussing purely on Azure Cloud currently.
My content for the next 2 weeks will cover two main questions - 1) what is the market saying about Azure DevOps?
2) (Next week) - Why is this the case
1. What is the market saying at the moment?
A crude way is to analyse the demand for these skills is to check the LinkedIn Jobs advertised with these skills in the last month:
1670 - Azure DevOps jobs
595 - AWS DevOps jobs
344 - Google DevOps job
This is a 154% increase in Azure jobs compared to the last 6 months!
2. Which skills within Azure Cloud is most in demand?
Kubernetes, specifically the Azure container service that simplifies the operation, deployment and management of Kubernetes is still within 79% of these jobs.
From discussing with my Network - CKA: Certified Kubernetes Administrator seems to be the most productive qualification.
Question to my Microsoft Azure ™Network - what are you seeing from the market? What qualification has helped you the most?
