1. Enterprise Cloud Migration
The concern that companies have about migrating business processes and related data off of their on-premises infrastructure is legitimate.
2. Integration Architecture
Integration architects are generally tasked with knowing how to integrate data into a specific IT architecture, and that includes cloud. It's not surprising then that this skill is in demand along with enterprise cloud migration.
3. Database and Big Data
While not necessarily a cloud-specific skill per se, big data tops the list, and here's why: InformationWeek noted in a recent article that many companies that are trying to figure out how to take advantage of big data, are doing so in the cloud. It recommended that IT pros who want to reach the top of the list of big data job applicants look into topics surrounding Hadoop, Spark, and NoSQL.
