I hope you're still around as well, since I missed this thread earlier… > if you are devops (whatever the sysadmin/developer ration), and don't know how to use AWS (or other cloud providers), your job prospects are going to look pretty grim (non-existent) 10 years out. I personally think that people who can use AWS are pretty common, and using AWS is only getting easier. If you know how to work with actual, physical hardware, on the other hand (which most people even today don't seem to know how to do), then you're going to be in a much better position, skill-wise, than someone who only knows AWS (which is many people).
