DevOps & Cloud Engineer CV in the Gulf: FAQ
Is AWS or Azure more in demand in the Gulf?
Both are widely used. Azure is common in government, banking and enterprises standardised on Microsoft; AWS is common in tech companies and startups. Lead with the platform you are strongest on and mirror the posting.
Should a DevOps CV list every tool I have used?
No. Group tools by category — cloud, containers, IaC, CI/CD, observability — and keep only those you could discuss in a technical interview.
Are cloud certifications required?
Rarely mandatory, but they are frequent ATS filters on Gulf postings. A current associate or professional-level certification helps you get past automated screening.
