Cloud workers must ‘broaden their skill set’
BizCloud and the Coit Group give jobseeking advice to those on the hunt for roles in the cloud.
If you want to work in cloud computing, you will need to have a larger breadth of skills than the average IT employee.
This was the conclusion of BizCloud - an integrated cloud delivery firm from San Francisco - and the Coit Group - a US technology recruitment company - who have teamed up to give job advice to those looking to work in cloud computing.
They claimed cloud offers an end to end solution, removing the need for several different offshoots of the IT department. As such, those looking to work in the field “need to broaden their skill set.”
“As public cloud infrastructure is resilient and secure, the role of traditional IT and operations resources has changed,” said the companies.
“These resources are now focused on deploying redundancy, data and content caching, security, and replication services.”
BizCloud and Coit claimed a new role was appearing in the IT department and dominating new hires.
“As the role of IT operations has been transformed to focus more on business analytics, data mining and security, more and more organisations have created the role of DevOps,” claimed the partnership.
They defined a DevOp as a development engineer but with IT operation skills, who will take on the task of code migration, from development and testing through to launch.
“The DevOps Engineering staff can easily deploy new machines on private or public clouds through a web portal and have worked on the actual software development and/or testing,” read the advice.
“Data centre service operations and physical hardware deployments are passed to the cloud vendors.”
Both BizCloud and Coit said there were thousands of jobs available in cloud computing around the Silicon Valley area alone, but the world was looking for new workers in this growing trend.
“Prospective job seekers need to tailor how they present themselves to these hiring managers,” they added.
Other advice included remembering the mobile cloud workforce is always working, with downtime not an option, getting involved in the application community to source as much information as you can and taking advantage of “actionable” web analytics to make the best decisions.
“The cloud workforce of tomorrow will engage in all levels of active participation and collaboration,” the firms concluded.
“From online marketing tools... providing crowded sourcing of online advertisements, to freelancers bidding on design projects, the cloud workforce of tomorrow is engaged in its community.”
