There are radical economic shifts underway. Society is moving from commodity-based capital toward intellectual capital. Not only will repetitive manufacturing jobs will be wiped-out — mundane white-collar work will also be eliminated.

经济正在发生根本性的转变。社会正在从基于商品的资本向知识资本转变。不仅重复性的制造业工作将被淘汰，平凡的白领工作也将被淘汰。

The jobs of the future will be those which can’t be done by robots or replaced by artificial intelligence.

未来的工作将是机器人无法完成或人工智能无法取代的工作。

“We have an opportunity to fill the hundreds of thousands of vacant American jobs that aren’t being automated. These are the jobs that involve telling those machines what to do. The programming jobs.” — Quincy Larson

“我们有机会填补成千上万没有自动化的空缺职位。这些工作涉及告诉这些机器要做什么。编程工作。” — 昆西·拉森 ( Quincy Larson)

So where will these programming jobs exist? For those willing to invest in developing the intellectual capital necessary to compete in the new economy, all trends point to the public cloud.

那么这些编程工作将存在于何处？对于那些愿意投资开发在新经济中竞争所需的智力资本的人来说，所有趋势都指向公共云。

In 2017, an estimated $122.5 billion will be invested in public cloud services. The cloud segment is growing fast — with spend expected to increase 30% annually to $203 billion by 2020.

2017年，估计将在公共云服务上投资1225亿美元。云计算领域正在快速增长，预计到2020年支出将以每年30％的速度增长，达到2030亿美元。

Expectations are most bullish for cloud applications and cloud infrastructure to over perform. Customer demand for IaaS and SaaS cloud components will accelerate as they pursue digital business strategies.

对于云应用程序和云基础架构的超预期表现最乐观。随着客户追求数字业务战略，对IaaS和SaaS云组件的需求将加速增长。

All of this spending on public cloud is creating a massive demand for skills. In CompTIA’s recent outlook, they noted IDC’s anticipation of 7 million cloud-related jobs — many from existing positions which will be re-engineered with a heavy cloud focus.

所有这些在公共云上的支出都对技能产生了巨大的需求。在CompTIA的近期展望中，他们注意到IDC预计将有700万个与云相关的工作-其中许多来自现有职位，这些工作将在重点关注云的情况下进行重新设计。

But cloud talent is in short supply — and the scarcity of cloud computing skills is now the #1 impediment for companies with major cloud initiatives. As a result, cloud-fluent developers are now commanding some of the highest paying jobs.

但是云人才短缺。而云计算技能的稀缺如今已成为具有重大云计划的公司的第一大障碍。结果，流利的云开发人员现在正在命令一些薪水最高的工作。

In 2016, the top paying IT certification was cloud-related Amazon Web Services, with an average salary of $125,871.

2016年，薪酬最高的IT认证是与云相关的Amazon Web Services ，平均薪资为125,871美元。

“Many people in the U.S. and around the world lack the education and skills required to participate in the great new companies coming out of the software revolution. There’s no way through this problem other than education, and we have a long way to go.” — Marc Andreessen

“美国和世界各地的许多人缺乏参加软件革命带来的伟大的新公司所需的教育和技能。除了教育，没有其他方法可以解决这个问题，而且我们还有很长的路要走。” — 马克·安德森 ( Marc Andreessen)

建立技能以建立技能 (Building Skills to Build Skills)

“Today, another shift is taking place, to event driven functions, because the underlying constraints have changed, costs have reduced, and radical improvements in time to value are possible.” — Adrian Cockcroft

“如今，正在发生事件驱动功能的另一种转变，因为潜在的约束已经改变，成本降低了，实现价值的时间也可能大大改善。” — 艾德里安·科克罗夫特 ( Adrian Cockcroft)

The cloud is also going through a radical change — one that mimics the economic shift from commodity-based capital toward intellectual capital. Repetitive virtual machines will be wiped out, and mundane white-collar maintenance scripts will be eliminated. The cloud of the future will be driven by “functions as a service” that can’t be performed by server-based infrastructure or platform services.

云也正在经历一场根本性的变革-模仿从商品资本向知识资本的经济转变。重复的虚拟机将被清除，平凡的白领维护脚本将被消除。未来的云将由“功能即服务”驱动，而基于服务器的基础架构或平台服务将无法执行“功能即服务”。

A simple and engaging way to explore cloud computing services and the new concept of event driven “serverless” functions is by developing a custom Alexa skill. It’s a fun and engaging entry point into the API-driven world of cloud computing and emerging serverless architecture patterns.

开发云计算服务和事件驱动的“无服务器”功能的新概念的一种简单而引人入胜的方法是开发定制的Alexa技能。这是进入API驱动的云计算世界和新兴的无服务器架构模式的有趣且引人入胜的切入点。

While Alexa is still in the early stages of adoption, it’s clear that voice interaction is a breakout technology. Since Amazon opened Alexa to developers, over 10,000 skills have been developed for the service.

尽管Alexa仍处于采用的早期阶段，但很明显，语音交互是一项突破性技术。自从Amazon向开发人员开放Alexa以来，已经为该服务开发了10,000多种技能。

Underlying the growth of Alexa is a key innovation by Amazon Web Services that is fueling a majority of the custom skills — a service called Lambda.

Alexa的增长是Amazon Web Services的一项关键创新，它推动了大多数自定义技能的发展，该服务称为Lambda。

AWS Lambda is an event-driven, serverless computing platform provided by Amazon as a part of the Amazon Web Services. It is a compute service that runs code in response to events and automatically manages the compute resources required by that code.

AWS Lambda是由Amazon作为Amazon Web Services的一部分提供的事件驱动的无服务器计算平台。它是一种计算服务，可响应事件运行代码并自动管理该代码所需的计算资源。

When a user invokes an Amazon Alexa skill, it triggers an event via an API call. AWS Lambda makes it easy to execute a function in response to the event. And since AWS Lambda currently supports functions written in Node.js, Python, C#, and Java — it’s easy for developers that are already familiar with those common languages to build functions.

当用户调用Amazon Alexa技能时，它会通过API调用触发事件。 AWS Lambda使响应事件轻松执行功能。而且由于AWS Lambda当前支持用Node.js，Python，C＃和Java编写的功能-对于已经熟悉这些通用语言的开发人员来说，构建功能很容易。

你好，世界 (Hello World)

To get started with Amazon Alexa and AWS Lambda, I encourage you take a few easy steps toward building marketable cloud skills.

为了开始使用Amazon Alexa和AWS Lambda，我鼓励您采取一些简单的步骤来建立可销售的云技能。

A Cloud Guru offers a free Alexa series that’ll walk you through the entire development process — from creating an account through publishing the skill.
