Cloud Academy, the leading digital skills development platform for enterprises, today released its November 2018 Data Report revealing
trends and shifts in the cloud computing industry. The data is
collected from Cloud Academy's publicly available benchmarking tools Cloud Roster and Cloud Catalog. Among the report's key findings:
- The world is trending multi-cloud:
Multi-cloud has become reality and Cloud Academy's analysis of job
postings reveals that DevOps engineers are now expected to have
concurrent proficiency in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure,
with 70 percent of job postings mentioning Azure also mentioning AWS.
- Google places a distant third in the public cloud supremacy battle:
Job postings mentioning Google Cloud Platform (GCP) are significantly
fewer, with only 7 percent that mention AWS also mentioning Google
Cloud. For now, any organization that says they are multi-cloud is
firmly invested in AWS and Azure.
- Companies aren't bought into GCP for data engineering:
Industry analysts often suggest that GCP is the best-fit for data
engineering, but Cloud Academy data shows differently. GCP didn't even
crack the top 20 data engineering skills mentioned in job postings,
while AWS and Azure did.
- Kubernetes may be driving multi-cloud adoption:
Cloud Academy's data discovered that as the number of public cloud
platforms mentioned in job postings increased from three months ago, so
did the mention of Kubernetes, suggesting that a multi-cloud strategy
necessitates adoption of containerization.
