Your 5 min video format is really helpful

Love what you're doing Lucy and have been watching for a few weeks. Love your smile and zeal, wishing you continued success and stay encouraged. Catch you on the next one.

cloud architect get polos solutions architect get tee shirts!

Awesome video Lucy - informative and helpful as always, love your videos! Keen to watch your future videos and to see this channel grow!

You are so good at explaining things. Thanks so much for this amazing video!

Solutions Architect (SA) : Engage with customers . Identify what their Buss problem is and help them solve thru various AWS services. SA proposes various paths or solutions per say for customer problem at high level. System Design + Architecture design . No low level task like coding involved. So SA does the HLD. Cloud Architect (CA) : Engage with customers. Understand customer problem. Understand the proposed high level architecture by SA and help customer in implementing that at low level.ie by involving in actual coding and detail level designing. CA must understand the internals of the customer's system. So CA does the DLD. Is my understand correct Lucy ? Please correct me if it is not so. I would highly appreciate it. Cheers.:)

Thanks, exactly what I needed at the right time!

This is such a great video Lucy!

Thanks ,very useful and clearly explained concepts.

Great video, thanks lucy!🤩

Thanks Lucy...you're the best

Thanks, Lucy! Really appreciated the video with informative and helpful information! I would say SA fits me better~Hope to be your co-works someday~

Awesome video Lucy!!

Thank you for such a clear understanding on job role of solution and cloud architect.

Very helpful explanation Lucy, thanks

Fantastic topic. Thank you for sharing. Am testing 8/19 for SA. Unfortunately for me as an OPSTECH IT Engineer for Amazon it is difficult to transition into AWS. AWS often overlooks internal transfers.

Lucy, your videos are awesome. In the short time you do well explanation about the topic from telling unnecessary talks. Thank you.

Cool! I'm a Cloud Architect at Public Sector ProServe too

Great Video Lucy!

Thanks for providing best & high quality videos ❤️ from india 🇮🇳

pls make a video on day in the life of a cloud architect on real world project

thank you ❤️

I love all your content 🥰

Great video…The Solutions Architect role is more feasible for me. Thank you for the explanation.

Lucy, as a solutions architect, how often do you have to do public speaking in conferences? I have no problem talking to clients over zoom, but I have terrible stage fright on a stage setting in front of many people. Is public speaking in front of large audiences a requirement when you are a solutions architect?

Best ever channel

Great Video Lucy. Are there two different certifications for AWS Solution architect and AWS Cloud Architect ? I know that there is one for AWS solution architect (AWS SAA C02). ? Could you please clarify on that. Thanks in advance.

Hey Lucy, I want to take AWS Solutions Architect course and I wanted to know if its only a theoretical course or are there practical labs as well. How do you relate solutions architect with Devops

Google always listens, i was just talking about cloud and it's various roles and your video pops up to recommendation. Thanks. Can you create a video on what kind of certification is required if some one wants to get into these roles and get selected by companies.

ty

Great video

Great knowledge Video.....you are doing AWSome job Lucy. BTW I am SA Intern in AWS😄

Very insightful video Lucy! Follow-up question - is a Cloud Engineer the same as a Cloud Architect, or are they two separate roles?

I don't have a programming background, but I have incredible interest with AWS. I intend to get the SA certificate, and my background has been mostly as a Data Analyst. What do you suggest career wise?

Cloud Architects fit under ProServe, so they're paid directly by customers as if they were from a consultancy firm. They direct taylor-made projects, that then ProServe developers would build. Solutions Architects fit under Sales, where we run Immersion Days, PoCs, or brainstorming sessions to understand what the customer goals are on the cloud.

Hi Lucy! Thanks for making this informative video. I wanted to understand how Senior Data Architect AWS role is similar or different with the above roles you explained ? Please share if you know, will be very helpful! Thanks! 😊

Hi Lucy, thanks for the wonderful video. I've a question. Is the Cloud architect role different than a cloud application architect role or are they the same? If yes, what are the differences?

Are these pre sales roles or for customers with existing accounts? Would a pre sales role be considered a solutions/sales engineer? Thanks!

For cloud Architects what are the different interview rounds? Is the coding round as difficult as of SDE?

Awesome video Lucy!! Thank you for educating us on the differences of these two disciplines! I'm just getting into AWS cloud and was unclear of the roles and you have clarified this for me! I now know which direction to go! Thank you very much and happy clouding!!!! cheers!

What's the difference between cloud architect and DevOps?

Would it make sense to get a Solutions Architect cert first, before getting a Cloud Architect cert, since SA is more high level (unless we have a deep coding background)?

are there any certifications or qualifications to be a cloud architect? I'm studying for SAA-03, which is a great as I feel I'm getting intermedialy familiar with AWS services and their use cases. But would being a cloud architect, simply be- implementing these solutions?

Hello Lucy I am learning AWS with DevOps (solution Architect)

any plans to talk about SA compensations at AWS?

salary difference cloud and solutions architect

What I can deduce from this video is that it requires high-level technical skills, I want to ask, must you have the technical skills yourself or you can just be a member of a team where others can do the technical stuffs? And in the technical skills aspect, what language or tools can you recommend?

@techwithlucy is there any need of coding or programming in cloud architect and solution architect or In any role of cloud computing?

There is interoperability between Cloud Architects and Solution Architects, allowing for the possibility to switch roles along the way. 👥

I want to know pay for AWS. Is it the same or different to corporate roles in Amazon!??

Hi, I used the AWS skillsbuilder to learn the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification. May I know what to use to learn the AWS solutions architect associate? Is there a skillsbuilder learning resources for solutions architect? Kindly share links to learning resources for the AWS solutions architect associate level. Thank you.

How can someone from another field like Hospitality or Marketing be an AWS solution architect? What is the best path , and how long it can take more or less ?

There is also "Cloud Application Architect". Is it the same as "Cloud Architect" ?

👍👍👍

Thanks Lucy I have a question that I have not any degree in related to tech and i want to get certificatified as a solution architect associate. Is I'll get job only the base of certificate

in which you recomend solution A or cloud A?

Can you recommend a place where I can volunteer to work for nothing?

which certification is right to for cloud architect ?

Road map for cloud architect please

I’ve passed my solutions architect, cloud practitioner and COMPTIA cloud+… still trying to find a job which is just irritating… 🤦🏽‍♂️

Y’all never discussed what certifications he has.

@Lucy - Follow up question - in SA, do you need to know detail about the product to be implemented in detail eg. Database, HPC, Analytics or there could be multiple brand products or open source products.. obviously we cant know Everything.. so how do we handle these questions or architecture for customers?

As MCSA expired, which certificate would you recommend that has the same content as MCSA?

Solution for me

Interesting. So far the three consulting companies I applied for - SA role - assumed that SA means designing data warehousing on the cloud. Really ?

How difficult is it to get a job in the cloud industry. I have been certified as a solution architect associate since April. I'm beginning to get discouraged searching for a role. Should I go for the SAP to boost my chances of landing a job?

Same thing

💜

I know that you need the Solutions Architect Associate certificate for being a Solutions Architect but what certificate do you need for being a Cloud Architect?

Where are they from?

So in short, a CA is someone tailor-make solution to clients and a SA is someone sort their clients in the right isle of solutions.

Is a cloud architect and a cloud practitioner the same thing?

Seems to me like a Solutions architect is a junior Cloud architect

Do you have to be an Amazon employee to gain access to the classes

So the differences are in the breadth and depth?

Can you make a video with a fresh graduate who cracked SA role, with no prior work experience. Thank you

Hi Lucy! Can a Cloud Architect Role be Remote?

Would a typical customer need both a SA and a CA for their project? If not, how is it decided what they need?

Is Solution Architect role part of Pre-Sales vertical?

Sounds like a Cloud Architect codes and a Solutions Architect does not.

Mam aws and cloud computing both are same or different??

aws dosent offer any cloud architect certificate

Solutions architect for me, i wanna be like you

--- I got a good computer

Hi Lucy , fresh Comp sci graduate with no professional experience, currently doing AWS cloud practitioner and Solutions Architect. Please what jobs should i do leading up to becoming a Cloud Engineer? customer service? IT helpdesk support? junior network admin?? Thank you

Hi Lucy, Really like your apporach and your content, I am wondering if you are keen to do a collab with a AWS partner?

Which pays more?

Which has better pay?

aws cka combination

I didnt get much the Cloud Architectect coding side of things. Shouldnt he be coding "Clouds", like using infrastructure as a service apps like terraform and maintaining with Ansible and such ?. Or is that more of a DevOps Engineer job ?, if any what kind of coding does he do in a typical Cloud Architecture ? I was actually immagining the job role as in AWS for example, defining the VPC, how many subnets, load balancers, NATs, etc... and how different applications would interact with each other. Not coding of the application themselvs. As for the Solution Architect, i saw it more of an encompassing all aspects of the Solution, (you may even say, 1 tier above the Cloud Architect), as it doesnt only needs to take into account the cloud architecture but also the Software Implementation, like for example, Microservices architecture, then all the different layers of the applications how they interact with each other, from the business needs. Am i wrong, or off in my assesment of the positions ? This is now what i got from this video

Hey Lucy, I’m 19 and I just passed my cloud practitioner exam.Can I get a job with just my Highschool Diploma?

In which company pays more money

Короче они сами ещё не поняли

Neither.

look. i am really surprised AWS approved two L4s to publish this content with so less career experience. one or two years max? but I am sad Lucy you chose to leave AWS as your channel might make more than the L4 salary due to the ads you do. but I understand, we all have a living. you will do great as a boomerang in AWS and any other company as your personality is great. and this is hard to teach in life. i wish you success

Are the hand movements necessary?🤣🤣🤣it feels like im watching you guys talking to aliens...
