When it comes to future-proofing your career and opening up your horizons to accessing the very best job opportunities, it makes sense to develop multi cloud fluency. That's because organisations across all industries and sectors are waking up to the advantages of embracing a multi-cloud approach.

So What Does Multi-Cloud Mean?

There are three major names to know when it comes to the cloud: AWS, Azure, and GCP, all of which are public cloud platforms. Nowadays, combining two or more of these public cloud environments is becoming an increasingly popular approach for many organisations around the globe.

That's because there are significant benefits to be had when different cloud platforms are used together. For example, drawing different platforms from different cloud providers can help to cut overall costs, and by not relying on a single cloud services vendor, they can also reduce the risk of disruption due to outages. Choosing a multi-cloud environment can also greatly improve security, in addition to giving international organisations the chance to better manage their data compliance requirements in different territories.

It's also the case that some vendors have better platforms for certain tasks, each excelling in different areas. By adopting a multi-cloud environment, organisations can enjoy the best of all worlds, thereby optimising their essential operations.

Developing Multi Cloud Fluency

If you are keen to maximise your career potential, then developing multi-cloud fluency is undoubtedly a smart move. By doing so, you can enjoy some compelling benefits, such as setting yourself up for greater opportunities for career progression with the ability to take an organisation-wide overview of the business's entire cloud deployment. You become more attractive as a consultant as a result of the current scarcity of professionals with understanding and competencies in multiple cloud platforms and you will see an increased earning potential as a result.

And the good news is, that if you are already familiar with one cloud platform, you're very well placed to acquire the skills you need in another one (or two). That's because the different platforms share many of the same core principles (such as IAM, virtual networking, and high availability). Acquiring an associate level certification in solutions architecture will help to consolidate these new skills, too.

Of course, adding the understanding of another cloud environment can be demanding, so why not try a niche approach, whereby you supplement a focus on one cloud environment with cherry-picked in-depth skills on that platform, which will help you to stand out in the crowd. Based on the principle of "T shaped skills", this approach gives you a variety of opportunities to distinguish yourself in the job market. You could even approach this as a combination of a specialism in one cloud platform and a certification-level understanding of another.
