Cloud AZURE and AWS contract roles

I've been playing with Azure for a few months, still a bit cloud sceptical but you can do a lot with it, esp with my field of SQL. They keep adding new features/tweaks all the time.
Even passed one of the exams for SQL Server 2016 (but was all Azure based questions), not had much response from clients, but I'm sure that will change, once they want to ride the wave of THE NEXT BIG THING.
Gotta keep learning to keep the green flowin'!

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

When I was at one major bank yonks ago scripted a total partition of an IBM frame, VIO, OS installs and applications via NIM and xCAT. No reason it couldn't be extended to do CI/CD...
Maybe!Comment

The good news is people will be jumping off the cloud one they see the bill, so it's not just one off to the cloud migration.
Tt's both directions and hybrid - for scaling up occasionally.
There's quite a lot of moving parts, AWS alone has 100+ services for DNS, logging, routing, storage etc etc, so it's hard to be an expert in all of those.
I'd probably say you should specialize with one cloud vendor and just learn different names of the equivalent products.
If you're any good with shell, you'll be fine.Comment
