Importance of expertise in today’s Cloud ecosystem:
Cloud computing is nothing other than virtualization at scale.
All the resources you consume in the Cloud rely on server
virtualization for their operation
Example:
AWS EC2 instances are virtual machines running on an
open-source XEN virtualization base adapted by AWS teams.
