In 2023, the cloud will take networking jobs (and kill Cisco)?

Great interview I agree, networking ain’t going anywhere. I always thought of networking as a good foundation.💯

Cloud doesn't work without traditional networking let's be honest SDN and MPLS is still used

[alejandrobarquero]

People act like if the cloud isnt a bunch of servers connected 🤣

As an aws employee from a network background, networking is not going away but it will be more or less reduced to a service as routing becomes more application centric and it is easy to master a service vs a domain like how networking was before, hence learning networks wont be enough and you need to know so much more know and get more comfortable with automation if not master it .This is a huge upset for people who have gathered 4-5 CCIEs over the span of their career as they would have fared better if they would have just learned Python.

Thomas rocks as always!!! Cisco is not going anywhere. Cloud is the network, and the network is Cisco!!!!

Hello David.

Well said, "you have to be flexible to learn new technologies"

I have been following you since 2012. You started with hardcore networking and now you talk about anything and everything happening in IT field.

Glad to hear on this topic from you.

Cloud won't kill Cisco, absolutely outrageous pricing and foolish license practices will.

[shaunakkakade]

As a cloud network automation engineer, I've seen a shift in mindset of devops folks to just have networking delivered to them as a service. Core networking, however important, will no longer be enough and you will need to learn a whole lot of new workflows, delivery systems etc. Especially if companies are moving to Cloud and reducing their on-prem footprint, somebody skilled at deploying automated configuration is preferred over someone only having CLI experiences on different vendors.

Network design people will also have to shift focus from traditional core/access setup to Cloud network design and work with devops side to understand service dependencies, granular access controls, setups.

Well, that answers my question on the future of networking.

[thehubtechlife]

I have done Networking, Security, and Operating Systems (Linux, Windows etc) for the past 10 years and the cloud was so so so easy to jump into with my past skills. So, if you really want to enjoy the cloud and take things easy, it's better if you learn the traditional IT stuff including N+, Security, and some good language. Also, could you try to learn some IDE tools... to advice my little self, I will still learn the traditional N+ & IT before going into cloud eng. :)

My physical networking knowledge helped me transition into cloud.You have to know networking in order to do cybersecurity and cloud security.

Thanks, David, & Thomas. "routing is not going away'. Great to hear. I'll be able to sleep tonight.

[farukm]

Fantastic interview. Thanks Thomas and David for bringing it to us.

[melvinoxl]

Great interview. In my opinion I think it's good to have base knowledge of routing and switching. Then now you can take any path be it cloud, security. Networking is not going anywhere.
Cloud can't exist without routing

[ismaelmarculino]

What a great interview! Yesterday I was looking for job opportunities and I notice that Cisco+AWS is a combination required for some companies. I will keep that in my mind. Thank you for the content.

I own a SmB and we are a systems integrator doing primarily cisco.. 17 years and I see, we still need the traditional knowledge, cloud eliminates a lot of the technical challenges, brings projects on-board much faster and staff are more able to potentially expand their portfolios .. business side, less trial/error, much more documented/structured approach and in fact you can make more money whilst lowering per project costs (volume).... it's exciting to have the challenge.. for younger people, still need your foundation before going into things like devnet, cyber etc...

[CollabCrush]

It's mid 2024, and this video isn't aging very well so far. If you look at where things were a few years ago and look at where things are now, there is a clear trend toward fewer and fewer networking jobs.

[GulianTechnology]

Thank you, David and Thomas for sharing your perspective on this subject. 🙂

Hi David, You always share amazing info . Looking forward to have more from you in Cloud Domain.
