Cloud computing involves computation done over the internet as a service. By 2020, cloud services are projected to be the primary IT consumption source for most individuals and enterprises, with the cloud computing market worth $241 billion. As computing moves to this new paradigm, IT jobs require new skills like virtualization, automation, security, and understanding IT as a service through models like SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. Cloud certifications and integrating cloud technologies into curricula can help develop these skills.
