工作機會大比較! OpenStack vs CloudStack

還記得之前我之前寫過一篇"cloudstack 與 openstack 目前的發展趨勢"，裡面有比較這兩個陣營在人數上，與活耀度上的比較，那讓我們先來複習一下最新進展，同樣的根據CloudWatch的追蹤報導 CY12-Q4 Community Analysis — OpenStack vs OpenNebula vs Eucalyptus vs CloudStack，在社群方面OpenStack 還是遙遙領先(不過成長趨緩?)，CloudStack 仍然努力緊追在後。

此外根據這篇OpenStack 的統計報告 study conducted by TrendKite，OpenStack 的媒體曝光度遠遠超過AWS (雷聲大雨點小?)

但是媒體的熱度似乎已經在降低，畢竟今年是BigData 年? (再誤)

不過今天我卻在Twitter上看到一個消息，Apple 正在Hire CloudStack Engineer ？奇怪話說前一陣子我才看到這篇文章 Apple looks to pick off engineers from Amazon, OpenStack to build out iCloud 。

喔？搜尋了一下果然Apple 在 LinkedIn的Job那邊果然有這個職缺。，看了一下工作內容描述，~~這不是在招喚我嘛~~?(誤)

Key Qualifications

Expert with Apache CloudStack/Citrix Cloud Platform and the underlying systems, storage and network hardware that support it
Minimum 5 years in UNIX systems administration in a large environment (1000 servers)
Experience with VMware vCenter and the ESXi hypervisor
Expert in RedHat Enterprise Linux (and it's variants) system administration including Yum and RPM packaging
Experienced systems engineer with at least Bash shell programming (Ruby and Java programing experience is advantageous)
Experienced in systems and platform configuration management using Puppet
Proficiency with source control, continuous integration and testing methods (particularly Git, Jenkins and the like)
Good understanding of Kickstart, NetBoot, PXE, DHCP, DNS, LDAP, monitoring tools, etc

這不禁讓我想到工作機會的確也應該是一個很重要的考量點，於是我就開始上網蒐集資料，看看到底現在市場上對於 OpenStack 與 CloudStack Engineer 的需求是如何 (唉...不過這些都是國外的需求....Orz...)

首先來看這篇 Guess what? OpenStack fans say OpenStack skills are in demand
，在這篇文章裡面提到OpenStack Engineer 的薪水還是比較高。

再來是比較工作需求的比較，OpenStack 還是遠勝於CloudStack
