Aviatrix, the pioneer of Intelligent Cloud Networking™, released new data surveyed from cloud networking professionals that confirms enterprises struggle with cloud adoption due in large part to the increasing skills gap. To address this challenge, the company has released new programs and learning paths to its Aviatrix Certified Engineer (ACE) Program, the industry’s first and only multicloud networking certification.
Cloud adoption has grown rapidly as enterprises are now migrating their most critical workloads to the cloud in order to remain competitive. As organizations increasingly find themselves managing business-critical cloud and multicloud environments, they’re running up against a shortage of talent with the necessary expertise to handle the complexity of cloud networking and security in and across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and more.

According to new Aviatrix survey data from over 580 ACE professionals:
- Most enterprises (64%) are struggling to hire or train staff with the necessary skills to properly design and implement an effective and future-proof multicloud network architecture
- Lack of training (50%), in-house training (43%), and cloud complexity (42%) were cited as the major bottlenecks facing enterprises while deploying cloud-based technologies
- Cloud service platform expertise (62%), cloud security (42%), and multicloud networking (46%) are cited as the cloud skills that are most pressing for organizations and lacking in the current talent pool
- The majority of respondents (85%) believe having staff with the appropriate skill levels is very important to determine the success of their organization’s cloud strategy
Aviatrix is empowering enterprises and practitioners to confront these needs, introducing new learning paths as part of the ACE Program that allow cloud networking professionals – from novice to expert – to customize the certification based on their cloud education requirements. ACE participants progress through the standard learning path, starting with Associate, then Professional, and finally to Design Expert with optional courses in Operations and Automation for specialized cloud professionals. While other programs focus on a single cloud service provider (CSP), the ACE Program is continually updated and familiarizes participants with best practices that span all major CSPs as well as the Aviatrix Cloud Networking Platform. The ACE Program also uniquely delivers in-depth best practices and education required to build an enterprise-grade cloud architecture, focusing on cloud networking and security aspects that other CSP certifications miss.
