It is common knowledge that there is high demand for AWS Cloud skills in the UK. In February 2021, on LinkedIn, there were more than 5500 vacancies for entry-level (0-3 years of experience) and more than 4700 associate level (3+ experience) for individuals with AWS cloud computing skills in the UK.
In an era of high unemployment, it sounds rather strange that these positions are going unfulfilled! One of the reasons for this is the sudden spike in demand for Cloud resources during the pandemic without any matching supply. The pandemic has accelerated the move towards Digital. Cloud Infrastructure is the backbone of Digital Operations. While demand for Cloud Engineering & Operations resources was always high, the pandemic has further accentuated the same. Supply for AWS Cloud skills has not kept pace and employers are struggling to hire Cloud resources.
