I spoke with Kevin Kelly, Director of Cloud Career Training Programs at AWS, about Amazon’s cloud education programs – and the urgent need for more cloud professionals.

Among the topics we covered:

  • The employer demand for cloud professionals is quite high now – they’re far too scarce. What’s your view of this market currently?
  • Let’s talk about AWS Cloud Quest – it’s designed for learners new to the cloud, correct?
  • How about AWS Educate – what’s involved, and how many people have gone through the program?
  • The future of cloud education? It seems we are far from keeping up with the demand for cloud professionals.
