Cloud Computing certification
Looking for a way to benchmark your cloud computing knowledge and skills? Want an extra edge when looking for that cloud computing job?
Cloud computing, also on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing that provides shared processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.
As the cloud becomes more critical to IT departments and businesses worldwide, it can be difficult to gauge whether you have the right skills or knowledge in a competitive job market. If you’re looking for a way to get an extra edge — whether you’re job hunting, angling for a promotion, or just want tangible, third-party proof of your skills — cloud certification is a great option. Certifications measure your knowledge and skills against industry- and vendor-specific benchmarks to prove to employers that you have the right mix of cloud skills, knowledge, and expertise. Here 10 ten cloud computing certifications you should consider.
