The shift to cloud platforms, and the strategic and tactical challenges it presents orgs, is driving a huge sea change in cloud infrastructure ops.

Gartner's 2022 report, “The Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services Skills I&O Teams Require for the Future,” says that traditional I&O skills (developed to deal with hands-on legacy infrastructure) will be “insufficient for 60% of the operational tasks for which I&O leaders are responsible” through 2022.

The Gartner report covers key trends and recommendations that cloud infrastructure and platform teams can use to close the skills gap, reduce risk, and keep pace. Request a copy today using the form on this page.
