Happy Valentine's Day!
You don't have to be in love with your head stuck in the clouds to learn how important the clouds are. Did you know cloud computing is one of the fastest growing career paths?
Are you ready to get started with your cloud computing career?
Did you know that the average pay of entry-level Cloud professionals is $124,300? Cloud is a virtual platform that allows you to access various applications and services on the go without having to use your own hardware platform. You are on the cloud more than you realize in your daily life activities. You are on the Cloud, for example, when you are using your mobile phone for Facebook , when you are watching a video, when you are transferring or checking your bank balance on the Internet, or when you are shopping online. Cloud services can now provide various hardware and software services to avoid physical storage for handling data and operations. 
Worldwide spending on public cloud services will grow at a 19.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from nearly $70B in 2015 to more than $141B in 2019 – Forbes
Who is the biggest cloud player in the market?
