What is AWS?

Amazon Web Services

AWS, Amazon Web Services, is the world’s leading cloud computing platform. With over 160 different services available, here are some common uses:

  • Run day-to-day business applications
  • Store valuable files and information
  • Connect distant company offices and communications
  • Refer to a global infrastructure that can reach the widest audience possible

AWS data centers offer secure cloud services with locations throughout the world to provide fast, low-latency access to information. MTI College Cloud Solutions Architect students learn how to harness AWS Cloud data centers throughout California and all across the world.

Demand for AWS Cloud Solutions Architects

The Bureau of Labor Statistics project jobs in the Computer and Information Technology industry will grow about 13% between 2020 and 2030. This is much faster growth than average.

What drives the demand for AWS cloud and IT experts?

Three major factors contributing to this growth are:

  • A greater demand for information security
  • The growing need of cloud computing

Over a million companies and customers rely on Amazon Web Services to give them an edge in the global economy. AWS is the trusted provider of cloud computing services to companies such as Airbnb, Lyft, Netflix, General Electric, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Cloud computing administrators earn a robust salary (here is the current average salary on Glassdoor). A 2019 survey by Global Knowledge of 1,011 respondents with an AWS IT certification showed many earning over six figures.

Many enterprise companies run their software environments on AWS, with more undergoing that digital transformation each month.
