attention and coverage from cloud certification  providers as well as cloud-related product  deliverers such as AWS, GCP, VMware and Azure. Now,  there has been a skill gap in the Cloud Computing  

industry which lends itself to a really high  average salary of 153,000 USD in the USand 30LPA in India to skilled professionals who  can prove their expertise using certifications.

that the person handling their products has the  ability, has the experience as well as expertise to define, plan and deliver the products  effectively.
