hey bart , great video , i have a question and no one gave me a straight answer but can u please help me my query that " is it possible for some one to become a solutions architect with Linux coding or networking knowledge ?"
Dude, you are awesome! It’s the second week of my AWS solutions architect class, and I didn’t know anything about the roles and responsibilities of the SA, until i saw your video. Keep up the good work bud. Great explanation👍
Hey man... thank you for putting this into perspective for all of us. It was very clear, concise and to the point. After watching this video, I have a way better understanding of how these roles translate into real-world applications. Subscribed 💜
Awesome video.Thank you very much for such an insightful video that breaks down the roles. Clarity on solution architects was top-notch broken down. Great Job Bart
Thank you for this info!! Been searching for a good breakdown. Currently a new Cloud Engineer and wasn’t sure which path I wanted to follow. This helped a TON.
Thank you for this, Bart! I just passed my AWS CCP Exam and am going to get right into the AWS CSA - Associate training right away. I come from a SysAdmin/Netadmin background, so I plan to get the AWS SysOps Cert as well.
Is sysops hard to get into? I'm going to college this year, hopefully, and aiming for a bachelor's in CS. What would be my steps after graduating to get into aws sysops?
Fantastic explanations. I have a developer background, but may start as a support engineer to get into AWS, before getting back into developing. I’ve heard that role can lead into development, and I’m hoping that I’ll learn a lot about system design and best practices along the way.
What a great content! Thank you so much for your time and effort. I have been out of IT world for over 20 years and now I want to get back into it. I wonder if I could have a communication line opened with you to ask some questions or be mentored in a few things.
Glad to hear it - I love the documentation when applied properly, but you can surely spend a lot of time getting nowhere when reading the wrong information.
Hey Bart, I'm confused on which path to take. I was thinking of doing cloud solutions architect and sysop certification. Are these future proof or should I go with a different type of cert that will apply years down the road as more cloud based companies come into play?
Hey Cloud Bart, I really appreciate this video! I have just started my journey into the IT Worlds and I’ve been trying to figure out the numerous roles I could try and go into! I am a Registered Nurse and I don’t have IT experience nor a engineering degree but based on your video I am really interested in becoming a cloud architect! My question is: lol where do I start?
Awesome video! Do you have a list of technologies or topics (besides cloud knowledge) that Network Engineers would need to pickup in order to move into a Solutions Architect role? Seems like you have to have a good foundation in on-premise system administration skills (Servers, Applications, Storage, Databases, ext) and how companies do things on-premise before you can make the leap.
I tend to boil it down to the big three techs Virtualization (all the different aspects like app and desktop too), then Automation (bash/powershell shell scripting, lite software dev like python or JS), and of course Networking (LAN/WAN TCP/IP) After comes a longer list of classic Systems Administration specialities around Linux or Windows, storage, application monitoring and tuning etc. You characterized it well as classic sys admin skills)
Thank you bart for clearing up the roles and responsibilities of the different streams. May I ask if the security stream/certification would be a part of the devops stream as per you?
Amazing explanation! Quick question. Do saas companies often time have a part time cloud architect? We have a need for our saas app but not sure enough need for a full time position as of yet.
I started today trying to learn about AWS & cloud computing but as a developer. I am not in the tech industry but in the past, I never finished college, but I use to be an engineering major, I once built my own pc with the help of a family member. I learned a little of statistics and MSQL and Python to learn most of the fundamentals before focusing on web development learning for the past 5-6 months JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Getting back on point I only bring this up because I've always been fascinated with tech and mathematics. Since I started now learning about AWS as of now. What are the requirements to become an AWS DevOps developer or Developer? I think you mentioned you make tools. What language do you use for programming? Is it C#, C, Golang, Rust, Python or is it C++? After this post I will begin doing research on the AWS site to learn more but if you could add your personal experience from what you know, thank you Bart!
Great video! Love your clear explanation of the different roles. I'm currently in a cross roads in my career. 2 years 1st line experience with comptia A+ and Network +. With mcse now expiring for server 2016 and them going for more azure based roles, what you you recommend me do. I've never had any experience in AWS but this is looking like a good stepping stone. What would you think I should do?
As much as I love AWS, it's def not always the best choice for companies or for careers - that being said, Gartner predicts that most orgs who run cloud-based workloads will end up using at least 2 different service providers and often many more so you'll end up using many Cloud Service Providers by natural evolution. So i say focus on the work you like to do and know best, build on your MCSE background and go with Azure - include Linux and Open Source tools as often as possible and look for chances to move into AWS as your current team(s) do so as well or justify the need for AWS certification if there is a specific position somewhere that you are interested in. I'm a firm believer in exams/certs supporting a specific move or career action - hope that helps!
@@CloudBart thank you Bart! Really appreciate your information. I'm going to stick by learning much as I can with the mcsa server certifications. I'm going to learn as much as I can in powershell then start on my azure az-900 foundation certs and build a platform. Does this sound like a good plan?
Thanks for a great explanation Bart. I am working on CCNP Encor now and maybe CCNP ENAUTO. I was kind of thinking AWS Dev Ops next for some reason. I keep hearing good things about it. Seems like it would be better to go that route first and then maybe see how things go from there. Seems like a lot of Cisco instructors like Network Chuck, David Bombal and Anthony Sequira are suggesting to learn AWS next after Cisco.
Hey Robert - I think AWS SysOps (and then DevOps) is a good angle but primarily if you are looking to get into a position where you'll be working with AWS. SysOps has the most broadly useful topics for using AWS day-to-day IMHO
@@CloudBart oh ok yea that makes sense. Just trying to figure out the one that I will have a better chance of getting work with. I heard Sys Ops was kind of a hard one but it seems like the most practical in a lot of ways.
Bart, I have been feeling so lost. I have watched so many videos trying to find the clear explanation of what a AWS cloud Architect does or what the requirements are. You really dumbed it down for me. Truly appreciate it. Now I am looking for an instructor based AWS Architect certification process. Do you know of any?
Hey that was an awesome explanation of the different roles, however, when looking for jobs on Indeed say, I see roles that are specifically titled "AWS Solutions Architect", but I see no positions for say, "AWS Certified Developer" or "AWS System Operations Admin", so I'm wondering if you could elaborate on how the Dev certificate and SysOps certificate relate to the positions that are currently out there? Maybe I'm missing something, I know the term "software engineer" has many synonyms so maybe it's the same thing with these guys?
Hey Noah - thanks for writing. Your observations are correct, you are more likely to find that SAA title and exam in use because it is in itself the only one of the three which wasn't really a traditional IT role. Architecting in the cloud era is a NEW concept and skill set - perhaps closest related to a combination of Project manager, SME, or Pre-sales specialist in other terms/titles. SysOps jobs may not call out the exam by name/title but you want to look for ADMINISTRATION or OPERATIONS in the title, that is going to be an indicator - most every modern infrastructure will contain something cloud-related if not a lot of or primarly cloud-based. The developer area is massively diverse so software engineer, testing engineer, unit developer, integration, etc etc are all going to be good terms to look for - similarly most every developer out there will be running into or moving to cloud/managed systems in the immediate/near future. Hope that helps!
Are there AWS certifications that have hands on practice in a simulator so that you can practice yourself better or create work-ready provable projects?
I just completed my AWS cloud practitioner certification. I have experience in Platform operations and Administration in SAP BO/BI (with a gap of 5 yrs now). Can you pls advise what will be the best route for me next?
What kind of jobs should I look for after getting my first AWS certification? I want to make a career change and want to know where's the best place to enter the industry as a newbi wanting to learn
So bart at what part should a beginner who wants to make it to the AWS world start looking for a job when it comes to certifications I'm working on a+ and net+ should I get cloud+ as well then try to find a job ?
Can I start and be successful on the AWS journey (I want to get all 3 certifications) without any previous IT knowledge? I plan to start studying AWS 12 hours a day for the next 100 days if you think I can manage without any IT prerequisites.
To clarify, an AWS Solutions Architect is really only there for the beginning of the AWS integration, so would you have to move a lot in order to work with lots of businesses? Either that or work for Amazon?
Generally yes, Architects design and review. You may find yourself at the beginning or evaluating someone else's design later on. There ALOT of consulting firms around that work with many clients and that is precisely where a Cloud Architect is most relevant - hope that helps!
Hi bart I have been having an awful time getting a sysops role. I know my stuff for the most part but cannot even get an interview? Any pointers. I also see massive layoffs which is bumming me out bad.
Does this role require experience in development? I am an Infrastructure architect designing end to end solutions for projects in one of the top 10 companies in the world (hint:- we deal with payment transactions). Although I have 5 years of experience in the Tech Industry (I got this role after working really hard for 1 year in the company). I am pursuing the certification for AWS architect and also learning security fundamentals (aiming for Security certifications). Will this help to score a Solutions Architect job? Ps. I have read that you need 10 years of experience in IT for this role. :(
Bart I'm a developer using Angular on the Front-End and am really looking to boost my income abilities. I've been doing this a year and I make a pretty low wage for what I do at $48k/year. I REALLY have a high work ethic and can grind out a certification, but I need to know I can get work on the other side. I've seen extremely impressive salaries for all AWS certs, and I have an interest in mostly Architect roles, but I'd really love your advice on what I could take/learn to acquire a role asap. Again, I'm not afraid of hard work, so if that's what something requires, I'll do it. I can't afford to live off my current wages and pay timing anymore.
If you've got a year under your belt and not making what you think you deserve, negotiate for a raise or leave man, but don't go into a meeting like that empty-handed (have another job offer at least) and be professional about it (i.e. no burning bridges, I've seen guys walk off on the job because they didn't get what they want and everyone loses respect for that guy and they also have no references now)
Hello Bart, A Warm Greetings..!! First of all Thanks a ton for your time & also for enlightening us with you precise & spot on thoughts. Bart., if you don't mind? could you please help me to get out from the current ongoing career switch dilemma? I mean to say, I carry a 6 years assistant managerial, employee retention & overseas client coordination level work experience with American Express. My educational background is from an Arts stream with a laughable 50% aggregate & to be fair, I seriously hate maths which means even to think about "A.I, or M.L" will be a big career suicidal decision for me at-lest? Bart, what shall I do & from where I shall I start learning cloud to get a entry level job? Best Regards, Amit Mehra.
I have a question once your hired to a Company, where can you work!? At home !? Or at the workplace , or is it more mobile!? Can you take your work anywhere!?
All of the associate exams cover security to some degree, I'd probably go for the Developer because it includes a lot more practical encryption work, then move on to the Security Specialty
I am right there to take AWS CCP exam? Can this be a way to get into any sort of job roles? If any, could you please suggest me them roles I can look for on a jobhunt to get into IT cloud ? Or should I just study and work hard on these other professional level certifications?
Helpdesk positions are a common entry job title to look into, tier 1, support, desktop, productivity support etc - AWS CCP is a great starting cert for an AWS career, for a broader appeal you might checkout the CompTIA Cloud Essentials and Cloud+ - I talk about those here --> ua-cam.com/video/Cxj50Zi2JNk/v-deo.html
Not sure about Chuck's comment directly. The SAA cert from AWS is well targeted for it's audience, the SAA-Pro is a big step up with-regard to the depth of AWS-specific skills you need. Prior technical experience will help with the SAA but prior AWS experience would be more relevant as you get to the Pro.
Thanks for this video. What is the technical part of a AWS Solution architect interview like . Are there coding involved . Asking from a developer stand points.
Most architecting roles are not going to expect you to "write code" during an interview. You may be asked to look at a cloudformaiton template or IAM policies, or maybe a bit of lambda function (python/javascript) - Would be more important to be familiar with common API calls, but not the code implementation of them - an architect is generally expected to understand and be able process basic sections of code. The SAA exam specifically will not ask you to review code directly - expect CF templates and IAM policies tho

what about a path con cybersecurity in cloud?
do one of these paths lend itself better to working remotely?
why did Network Chuck say to skip the associate if we have previous IT/Admin experience and go straight to the engineer?
Not sure about Chuck's comment directly. The SAA cert from AWS is well targeted for it's audience, the SAA-Pro is a big step up with-regard to the depth of AWS-specific skills you need. Prior technical experience will help with the SAA but prior AWS experience would be more relevant as you get to the Pro.

You may be asked to look at a cloudformaiton template or IAM policies, or maybe a bit of lambda function (python/javascript) - Would be more important to be familiar with common API calls, but not the code implementation of them - an architect is generally expected to understand and be able process basic sections of code. The SAA exam specifically will not ask you to review code directly - expect CF templates and IAM policies tho
Testing or Automation testing, which one is best suits for certification Architect or Developer?
I'd go for Developer if you will be performing testing either on systems running in AWS or using AWS services to perform testing
What value do the AWS certifications have if you do not yet have real world experience? Thanks
Awesomeness thxxx cool yes...
