6. Knowledge and Certification from cloud computing services providers
Cloud computing services providers are the actual place in which you will get practical knowledge about cloud computing. They will train you on there own cloud computing products.
And they will also provide you certification after completion of certain modules and tests. Expertise in cloud computing or certification in a specific cloud computing model and methods or in popular companies products very helpful to get a job/project related to cloud computing. And currently, there are less competition and more demands for cloud computing expertise.
7. Google Keyword Planner/Google Trends:
Google keyword planner & Google Trends is a very good tool not only for digital marketers but also for the researcher. information technology students can research anything related to cloud computing both on these google owned web applications or websites.
