Demand for Micro-Credentials
The microcredential covers the field of cloud services in engineering. The emphasis is on the basic concepts of cloud systems and technologies, which provides an excellent foundation for understanding all advanced technologies, and then on acquiring practical knowledge for working with the two main tools for application distribution and orchestration—Docker and Kubernetes. Both container technology tools are becoming the first choice for developers and companies as they provide greater flexibility, scalability, and efficiency for their applications. The demand for experts who are trained to effectively manage containers and ensure their security is growing. Due to a shortage of ICT professionals, the need for this micro-credential will continue to grow. These needs are confirmed by demand from companies, institutions, and organizations, as well as documents from companies such as Gartner, Deloitte, and many others.
