I just don't know how they can call it "Cloud Computing" and push it as a DevOps cert without full stack development, automation, and deep Linux knowledge, docker, Kubernetes, kafka and a bunch of others are what makes cloud computing, cloud computing. Leaving out MCSA's and Linux options severely limits what grads can do.
CarpeDiem8, if you or your husband would like some DevOps career advice I'd be happy to help, I've got a pretty decent background. BS Cloud Computing isn't going to be super helpful for DevOps.
MCSA certs don't "go away". They're a certification for that particular release. For MCSA Windows Server 2016 is the most current, but you still can get MCSA Server 2012. I just don't get why they don't cover base OS admin, either Linux or Windows. "Cloud" is advanced stuff that you aren't going to get with just an AWS cert.
The BS Cloud isn't going to hurt necessarily you but you've got a lot of learning left to do when your done if you actually plan on working in cloud. I can't stress this enough for people that want more than just a "check" box. Learn software development, or just burn through the IT degree ASAP and focus on more useful learning. The degree is a lot of wasted space that other degrees at WGU would help you better reach your goals better or faster. You can think I'm a jerk all you want but I've been in the tech industry and had enough intense interviews to know what I'm talking about. Maybe it could be useful for people to get some career feedback on there chosen degree path?
