    1. CompTIA Cloud+

      1. The CompTIA Cloud+ is a robust entry-level certification aimed at professionals with 1-2 years’ experience working with networks, storage or data centre admin. Not to be confused with CompTIA’s Cloud Essentials, which is designed as an introduction to cloud for non-IT professionals.

    1. (ISC)² CCSP

      1. This high-level qualification builds on knowledge gained from the renowned CISSP – holders of this cert are prequalified to sit the CCSP exam. Otherwise, you’ll need to satisfy rigorous prerequisites, including a minimum of five years full-time work experience in IT.

      1. You’ll demonstrate your expert knowledge of cloud application, platform and data infrastructure security. You’ll even focus on compliance, legality, audit processes and privacy – particularly relevant with the introduction of GDPR in May 2018.

    1. Microsoft MCSA: Linux on Azure

        1. Get certified and you’ll learn how to deploy, configure, host and manage Linux websites on Azure. You’ll also learn how to take advantage of Azure’s key features, including PowerShell, and study Azure Active Directory, virtual machines and virtual networks using Linux.

    1. AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate

        1. The first level of the Architecting track - AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate – is built for professionals that want to design and deploy apps and services using AWS. You’ll also learn how to make use of key cloud features, like scalability, high availability and geo-redundancy. 

        1. Despite being the first certification in the track, this is by no means entry-level. Before attempting the exam, AWS recommend you take two short virtual courses: Architecting on AWS and AWS Certification Exam Readiness Workshop: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate.

    1. AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional

        1. You’ll prove your advanced technical skills and experience in designing distributed applications and systems. With this credential, you’ll work to design and build solutions that meet client AWS requirements, recommend architecture and provision AWS apps.

The prerequisites are high – you’ll need to have two or more years’ hands-on experience with cloud architecture on AWS and the ability to provide best practice guidance on architecture across enterprises. Of course, you’ll also need to possess the Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification.
