Career Paper Cloud Consultant
In 2018, the market for cloud consulting reached a 272 billion valuation and it is projected to be over 620 billion as the cloud gets more popular within companies. Vertitis, one of the scholarly sources I found said Cloud consultants educate businesses on the available cloud computing services and assist them in making decisions that will improve operations. Cloud consultants have extensive technical knowledge and play important communication roles in cloud-based solutions. The cloud is predicted to influence future technologies and change current ones. It is no secret that every company or business will be using the cloud.
If you are trying to become a cloud consultant first you have to start with a BS in cloud computing or if your university does not offer that then a degree in a closely related field. Going to graduate school is optional but always recommended. Certifications on the other hand are required, and there is a lot of them. The CompTIA certifications, LPI Linux Essentials certification, and two different certifications from Amazon. AWA cloud practitioner and AWS SysOps Administrator- Associate.
Experiments could be a method a cloud consultant uses by experimenting with different cloud services to see what best suits your client. Field study is another method we can use, traditional and cyberspace field studies. We could use traditional studies by entering cyberspace to watch then adjust and determine which cloud services fit the needs and wants of your client. Another concept from class that is always relevant is human factors. Human factors such as how cloud consultants design each cloud specifically for their clients. The WGU Cloud Consultant Career Guied says that one of the responsibilities of a cloud consultant is communicating to determine their cloud services, showing that they’re creating this product and thinking about how humans use and abuse it. The last concept I want to talk about is individual motives. The most realistic motive an attacker could have against a company’s cloud is for money or revenge. Try to steal information from the company or black them for many.
Marginalized groups such as third world countries or not as developed countries would be money and resources. Without money, your company would not be able to recruit personnel to protect and guide your company. Same thing with resources, if you do not have access to suitable resources you are even more vulnerable.
Cloud consultants are hired to protect and keep their business, company, or firm up to date. Firstlight Xcloud says that one of the benefits of cloud consultants offer adept practices for cultural transformation when deploying new technologies. Planning the implementation and providing documentation for training initiatives. They are helping society and hopefully, I will be doing the same in the future by protecting these companies information and data. By protecting these companies they’re also helping every individual that has ties to that company. Individuals tend to give a lot of personal and important information to get access and companies like to store important data and information in the cloud also.
