As we are heading towards a cloud-based future where almost all websites, web apps, games, and everything is running on the cloud, DevOps is certainly the most demanding profile in the market.

Not only demanding but also a high-paying job right now. An L2 DevOps Engineer's average pay is around 100K a year in the US 89K in Canada.

Being a DevOps Engineer for the last 16 months I have spent most of my time upskilling myself continuously and also providing my knowledge with you all readers using this platform.

I suggest reading my earlier articles related to DevOps Tools and Skill that will also help you understand much in detail.

Coming back to this article, personally, I recently cleared my CKA examination which costs me around $575 and I managed to clear it in my first trial. Now my next goal is to crack the AWS Solutions Architect Associate Certification by the end of April this year.

So, here are the three most demanding and valuable certifications that I think you should definitely pursue after taking some experience in the DevOps field.

AWS Solutions Architect Certifications (Associate + Professional)

Everybody knows that AWS is the best cloud platform in the market. Hence these certifications are also valuable if you own them with relevant years of experience.

Via AWS

They can definitely help you in getting a great job with a high paying salary. But yeah, only certifications won’t play a major role because without experience and real hands-on these certificates are just useless badges.

Skills and experiences are the foremost priority. These certificates will act as a booster in your resume to push forward your career.

Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)

Almost every big tech organization is now adapting containerization and Kubernetes is the go-to tool for that.

Via The Linux Foundation

Many cloud services now also provide Kubernetes services such as Google Kubernetes Engine, Azure Kubernetes Engine, etc. Kubernetes provide greater scalability and security as well for microservices and web apps.

That is why the CKA certification helps you to learn this technology in-depth with its course content and also its performance-based exam.

Here are some tips you need to keep in mind before taking this exam.

Google Cloud Certifications

Via Google Cloud

After Amazon, Google Cloud is certainly widely used in the market. It provides various great services such as Google Kubernetes Engine.

The purpose of this certification is to verify technical skills linked to the employment role. The best way to prepare for the exam is to get some hands-on experience.

So as a DevOps you should be able to build, troubleshoot, and debug highly scalable and cost-efficient infrastructure easily.

In addition to these, I will be also putting out some great articles related to DevOps on my Medium. I already have over 20+ articles published related to this niche.

Here are some most popular ones;
