LONDON — If you’re already a Kubernetes expert, the world is your oyster.
According to ZipRecruiter, a Senior Kubernetes Engineer can expect a mean annual salary of $204,500. Good work if you can get it!
But if you’re new to cloud native computing, it’s another story. Getting that first shot can be a pain. That’s where Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) certifications can be vital. Heck, even if you’re a grizzled IT vet but new to cloud native, a certification can help.
With so many IT workers now looking for jobs, these can be a real help. A recent Portworx report found that 80% of organizations plan to build most of their new applications on cloud native platforms within the next five years, while 75% face challenges due to a shortage of skilled personnel. If you can demonstrate your talent, the jobs are out there.
