Hello everyone!

I have systems administration experience in on-premise(traditional) data centre based clusters and servers and looking for a job but lacking cloud experience.

Will doing a cloud certification help me land a job or an interview?
Please advice.

So I’ve worked in both. Get cloud experience even if it’s only setting up new test vm’s. This is the way it’s gonna be. Traditional DC’s are gone. No need for it. I can provision a production ready server in 15 min. It’s the same thing as maintaining physical stuff it’s just virtual now. Naming has changed but not the process. Still need security and computing power

it'd certainly show that you're up for learning. and particularly with cloud, if you're willing to spend some money you can do a home lab/learning env.

This market has been so tough lately, even if you're skilled.

I would do it all though until someone decides to give you a shot.

Quick Question - Which one do you prefer?
1) Stay in the company where you are not liking the work culture (Skills not getting used & MicroManagement is poor) but offering Onsite and will try to match offer in hand package.
OR

Additional Posts in Systems Administrators

Hey all, I’m trying to gauge wether or not my salary is appropriate for my role. Obviously I’m a sys admin, but I’m making 50k with an expected bonus of 12k per year. Does this match what you all are seeing, or do i need to be looking for a pay increase? About 3 years of experience, the first two were technically a Helpdesk role but as the sole person on the team it was essentially sys admin work
