The rapid growth of cloud-native services and increasing acceptance of cloud-based environments.
With
cloud
computing becoming more prevalent in companies, both large and
small, the global requirement for professionals is steadily on the
rise and over a million jobs in the sector will be created in the
country by 2022, according to a report.
Companies
are currently investing 4.5 times the rate of traditional IT spending
in cloud infrastructure, and it is expected to grow even faster by
2020, according to a report by ed-tech platform for executives Great
Learning.
The
report is based on conversations with senior cloud experts,
recruiting managers as well as subject matter experts and is
supplemented by data from high-quality industry research reports.
In
the coming years, however, nearly all IT expenditure will be on a
private, public or hybrid cloud environment, making all IT roles, in
some sense, cloud computing roles, it added.
The
Indian cloud computing market, currently at $2.2 billion, is expected
to grow to USD 4 billion by 2020 with an annual growth rate of more
than 30 per cent, it added.
The
rapid growth of cloud-native services and increasing acceptance of
cloud-based environments as secure coupled with a need to save costs
are driving companies away from traditional data centres (DCs) to
cloud environments.
In
India, IT giants are now building solutions on the cloud rather than
on physical infrastructure due to increased flexibility, scalability
and speed.
"A
quick search on popular job boards shows hundreds of open jobs in
various roles that require cloud computing expertise. An estimated 1
million new jobs will be created in India by the year 2022 as more
companies adopt cloud technology," it added.
According
to the report there are about 18 million cloud computing jobs
worldwide at the moment with a salary of over USD 1,00,000 per annum.
The
salary for a leading cloud professional can go as high as USD
2,80,000 per annum, it indicated.
In
India, the salary for an entry level (0-2 years of experience) cloud
professional is around Rs 5-7 lakhs which is significantly greater
than that of a traditional IT engineer, who would earn about Rs 3-5
lakhs.
The
salary for an associate working in cloud with less than 5 years of
experience can range from Rs 12-19 lakhs and a mid-level manager can
easily command upwards of Rs 20 lakhs.
Cloud
architects and other specialists with 10-15 years of experience can
earn over Rs 30 lakhs, it added.
More
than 1.7 million cloud
jobs worldwide remained open as technical recruiters face
difficulties in filling out job vacancies in cloud.
