Certifications that raise your rate

• Professional-level cloud certifications

  AWS (Amazon Web Services) Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Professional Cloud Architect. These mark you as an architect.

• Kubernetes

  The system most companies use to run containers. The Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam is hands-on and well regarded.

• Security specialty

  Cloud security certifications pay well because a misconfigured cloud bucket is how many data breaches start.

• Infrastructure as code

  Terraform certification. Building servers from code instead of clicking is the core skill.
