Most ROI Cloud Certs?

Hello,

What cloud related certifications help the most with ROI and marketability and WHY? I am especially interested in securing them in the United States as my goal is a 100% remote job someday.

The current company I work for could careless about cloud certs at the moment, but that could change if I have to move in in the near future. They currently use AWS. I was aiming for the CCSP in January 2017 when better official study material gets released. I wonder if CCSK would even be worth it once I get the CCSP. Don't see much demand for CCSP yet I suppose since it is new.

Thanks!

AWS is currently the 800-pound gorilla of public cloud platforms.

Probably Openstack for privately hosted(?)

I'm in a similar situation, working for a company currently that has an aversion to cloud anything and is stuck in a legacy mentality with regard to IT operations. I'm brushing up on "building block" skills and learning AWS as a jumping point for my private studies so that I can hopefully get into a company where I can continue growing in a direction that will keep me employed at a relatively high salary for at least the next decade and/or offer the flexibility to work remotely.

Would love to hear other people's input as well.

Thanks!

You will notice that AWS is far ahead most Cloud Service Providers and one of the only CSP's that have a federal/goverment presence.

Add some DevOps tools to your knowledge and that will definitely get you moving forward.
