This webinar series provides a quick, accessible rundown of today’s most in-demand tech skills.

Where cloud meets AI: The skills that matter most

Behind every AI application an organization actually uses, you'll find cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, security controls, and automation keeping it running. Understanding that connection is one of the smartest career moves a technology professional can make right now.

In this 20-minute Tech Talk, Pluralsight Senior Author Craig Arcuri offers essential cloud takeaways to add to your playbook:

  • A clear picture of how cloud computing and AI fit together, and why cloud infrastructure, data, security, and automation turn AI experiments into real business tools.
  • The five cloud skill areas gaining value in the AI era: cloud architecture, data engineering, security and governance, automation and IaC, and AI platform fundamentals.
  • A practical roadmap for where to focus your learning next, based on your current skills and interests, without abandoning cloud fundamentals or chasing every new AI tool.

Join us for 10 minutes of career-growth insights, followed by a 10-minute interactive Q&A.
