CCIE for IAAS Cloud guys?

Fadakartel

Hey Guys,

Looking at some job posting for IAAS engineers and im only seeing VMware NSX stuff being required, is there any need for CCIE in a cloud environment? I know theres ACI but for where I am the biggest guys use VMware NSX.

I always wanted to pursue a CCIE but I never got a chance since i got pushed into different projects at my old job.

Also any advice on what certs/experience I need to get into a IAAS cloud role?

My background is basically 3 years networking exp dealing with Cisco ASR routers, Cisco 6500/3500/4500 switches, doing design and implementation along with Fiber stuff (SDH/DWDM) for an international ISP within the Caribbean/Latin America.
