Tim - thanks for the insightful description of the variety of cloud
choices. From what I'm seeing, most companies are adopting an SaaS-first
attitude, with PaaS where no commercial programs fit the requirement, and
IaaS primarily for migrating existing in-house applications.
If you have a career in IT, you have to adapt to the future. There isn't a
strong future for COBOL programmers except maintaining, migrating. When I
plunged into learning Oracle it was certainly because it had a rising
future.
Perhaps someone can speak to whether an Oracle DBA can adapt to the cloud
future.
Otherwise I keep hearing about demand for business analysts and project
managers -- close to the customer is harder to be replaced globally.
