I'd say 95% of people work at the higher layers of abstraction. But the crucial 5% are dealing with Linux and Open Source platforms, APIs, etc... when doing IaaS and PaaS today.
LPI is now BSD, DevOps and Linux examination. While LPI has fundamental exams that require far less Linux (or BSD) and Open Source platform hands-on, LPI is still very much implementation level domain knowledge. I.e., command/shell, API/bindings, building/packaging, automation/orchestration, controlls/SIEM, etc... I don't see that changing, and I see LPI as a premier cert series for it, especially for that critical 5%.Those with Linux knowledge for DevOps are the most heavily sought after SMEs right now. I am reminded of that every week when I have to dismiss someone early on in an interview. Too many cloud roles are not hands-on engineering and implementation. - bjs On Wed, Jan 23, 2019, 14:26 Mark Clarke <[email protected] wrote: > > On 2019/01/23 04:01, wrote: > > Hi, > Perhaps, this sounds somewhat Off-Topic.
