My motivations
As part of using any cloud provider, is a good practice to get certifications from the providers. This way you can validate your own knowledge and get to know better the products and services they offer. In my case, being the first spaniard to be MVP of Alibaba Cloud (阿里云), puts more pressure on me to get as many certifications as possible.
I see Alibaba Cloud (阿里云) main strength in its growing vision. They are in a very interesting space right now. It got, compared to last year, a lot of market share in niche markets, giving it a huge potential to grow in coming years. As a cloud solution It brings, in my opinion, the best of other cloud platforms, giving the scalability and services of the best but with the transparency of the easiest. Time will show how capable Alibaba Cloud (阿里云) can be, and in this mission, MVPs getting certified plays a key role in showing that.
