Reading Time: 2 minutesHow the new cloud era can/may change the role of the IT admin? Find out by joining a live twitter chat #CloudOpsChat on “The Changing Role of the IT Admin” on Thursday, April 25th at 11am PT. The event will be co-hosted by:
- Nigel Kersten (@NigelKersten), CTO at Puppet Labs

We’ll answer questions like:
- Is increasing automation and virtualization good or bad for your career?
- Does abstraction and better tools decrease the need for deep expertise?
- Does a cloud admin need programming skills?
- Do you think a cloud admin is a generalist with a little expertise about compute, storage, and networking?
- Or is a cloud admin an expert in cloud architectures?
- What are your thoughts on scripting vs. automation and orchestration?
