A friend of mine completed his BTech in ECE & is in Software Testing field from two years. Now he's planning to switch to Cloud Computing. He got suggestions from friends to go for IaaS since he is from ECE. Moreover he isn't interested in development also.

Know any good institutes in Bangalore ?
His main concern is about future of cloud. Is IaaS Manager [etc] secure job ?

he cannot learn on own, so institute suggestion is needed. How is IIHT, B'lore ? They charge 1Lakh rs :sleep:

He also sent an email to a prof, here's the summary :

I don't know how much it is true about IIHT, so if anyone here studied at IIHT, please reply. Thanks a lot !
 
IaaS is a vast subject IMO. I work in my company's data center and I kind of have an idea what things are involved while hosting a IaaS setup.
His career path will change completely from being whatever he was doing as of now and he will become kind of a System Admin.
If he is OK with that then he can pursue that avenue.
 
Yup, he's okay with that. Thanks for replying :)

If you happen to know about institutes, please let me know
 
Cloud is definitely one of the new line services being considered at Indian IT enterprise level along with big data, analytics and mobile computing.

The opportunity itself can come in many roles. One can be a part of infrastructure setup , the other as system admin and even cloud security is a part of the job profile in certain cases.

Before taking such a career leap though, it would be good if he is familiarized with the industry level expectations in terms of cloud computing.

The link below provides a free cloud computing certification from Cloud U program offered by Rackspace, a well known player in the domain.

To know more about the program, you can ask him to check on the below link where a interview session was organized for the same.

Hope this can help as starters. Being an IT professional myself, I can say that cloud computing definitely has great future potential but you have to walk the right steps :yes:
