I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6. Operating Systems/Applications. Virtualization.

Operating Systems/Applications. This article by Michael Gugino provides some details on getting GRE tunnels over IPv6 with Open vSwitch running on CentOS 7. John Griffith has a blog post (slightly older, from December 2014) on using OpenStack live migration with Cinder-backed instances. Simple, but effective.
