Cloud technology job

[pillar]

So I just read an article from Dice that said that theres a lot of cloud jobs available. I do have some questions about this tho.

#1 How many people in this community have a cloud-related job?

#2 How many people are studying in this field that are in this community?

#3 How much of this technology relates to Network+ or Security+ in CompTIA? Do you need to get certified in those areas to get a cloud job?

#4 What kinda of books can I look into for getting a possible job in this area?

I have been looking into getting a Windows 7 book so that I can study it and try to go for the spec certification test on that area. I have heard, however, that I need to get my A+ cert in order to get that as well so that I can get a nice entry level job (which is my ultimate dream right now).

Do you have a link to one of the listings? I've done freelance work in that area and these jobs can vary widely.

Do you think the article is misleading at all?

I created servers on the cloud, mostly using Amazon AWS. Also used Mechanical Turk as a requester some as well, where people can complete jobs for you for a small fee, like checking for profanity
