随着云计算的发展,对以下三种职业的需求将日益增多。
人们对技术岗位的需求正在回归,而云计算技术则排在了这份需求名单的顶端。在未来几年,专注于云计算技术将为你带来可观的收入。然而,云计算已经成了一个被滥用的名词,你必须在云计算的某个领域做到精通才行。
想在云计算领域淘金,你首先要专注于那些人们需求较多的技术,这将最终为你带来可观的收益。其次,要找一家能为你的技术付出相应报酬的企业。一般来讲,新兴的热门技术公司或者正在转入云计算领域的技术企业都是不错的选择。
那么最热门的云计算职业有哪些呢?以下是排名前三的职业。
云服务构架师。人们通常把其称之为“multitenant”(多名房客),但这可不是说你在公寓里和其他五名室友合作就能开发一个系统,事情远没那么简单。一名云服务构架师懂得像Amazon Web Services以及Rackspace这样的公司是如何做到自动供应服务并扩大市场的,并将这些知识应用到其他领域,比如基于云技术 的应用程序及基础设施。
目前这类人才十分短缺。他们大多自学成才,相信你也可以做到。我自己就开发了几个云构架,而且我保证它们当中没有重复的。
云技术移植专家。这种人才可以将现有的老化的应用程序移植到云计算平台上,并充分发挥云计算的经济优势及灵活性。这种人才必须是优秀的构架师,要有丰富的SOA构架模式经验,并要有关于云计算平台的深入知识。
云安全专家。我们都知道云计算并不安全。不安全的原因就是云构架不完善,这也是大家都在寻找云安全专家的原因。这类人才理解不同用户身份和密钥的区别,并懂得如何在任何时候保证你的数据安全。
而现在,你所需做的就是发展上述这些技术。
The demand for these three positions will rise as cloud computing grows.
Tech jobs are coming back, and cloud computing skills are at the top of the list; a well-placed bet in a cloud computing skill could lead to good paydays in the next few years. However, cloud computing as a term is so overused that you need to be much more specific about your area of focus.
To get rich in the world of cloud computing, you first need to focus on a skill that's in high demand, which is the kind that will pay very well. Second, work for an organization that provides some return on equity around the use of those skills. Typically, that means a hot technology startup or perhaps a small publicly traded technology company that's now moving to the cloud.
What are the hot cloud jobs to aim for? Here are the top three.
Cloud service architect: This is someone who knows that "multitenant" does not mean building systems in an apartment with five roommates. A cloud servce architect understands how cloud providers like Amazon Web Services and Rackspace can autoprovision and autoscale, and he or she can apply that knowledge to other areas, such as cloud-based applications and infrastructure.
Very few of these people are out there. Most are self-taught, given that many of these architectures are created as you go. I've built several such architectures and can vouch that no two are the same.
Cloud migration specialist: This is someone who can take your aging legacy application and successfully relocate it to the cloud, taking full advantage of the economy and elasticity of the cloud computing platform. This person needs to be a good architect, have vast experience with SOA architectural patterns, and have deep knowledge of cloud computing platforms.
Cloud security specialist: We all know that clouds aren't secure. Well, they aren't secure if they don't have the right security architecture, and that's why everyone will be looking for a good cloud security specialist. This person understands the differences between identity and encryption, and they know how to lock up your data, both in flight and at rest.
Now all you have to do is develop these skills!
