Very informative! Special thanks to Mr. Krishna Prasad for the glimpse!

After watching this video I feel so relieved since I'm studying to become a cloud architect myself, all those things you mentioned are things I've been busting my ass to study

Good information. Would it be possible for you to summerize what is the interview patterns for TAM role? and what actually AWS looking for in candidates?

Love these videos!

Can you make a video series on different roles under the cloud engineering umbrella like IoT engineer, ML engineer, Cloud data engineer, DevOps engineer, DB engineer etc.?

Very informative 👏 👌

Hey fantastic! Thank you

Keep it up Ilyas, great content.

Great stuff bro! Thx

The second tip you advise is to build a Cloud portfolio. I haven't been understanding this clearly, yet. Would you please explain it more particularly? It'll be very good for me and others :) Ps: I've passed the SAA in 2021 Nov, and now working as a Cloud/Infrastructure engineer in the project, my goal is SA

Awesome. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing man.

Thanks for the great videos, iLyas! Wanted to pick the brain of a SME. I'm in the U.S. military with 8 years working with satellites and a couple years of Cybersecurity experience more in a less technical, managerial aspect. I'll be out in a couple years and want to work at a tech job with great perks, benefits and culture. Currently have a security clearance, Sec+, CEH, SSCP, Bachelor's in Information Systems Security and will wrap up my master's in Cybersecurity Studies next year. But don't have much firsthand technical hands on keyboard experience. If it's worth noting, I have baseline exposure (mostly academic or military training) to Kali Linux, Microsoft OS, Bash, C++, Python, Powershell, digital forensics and did a year of project management but with no PMP unfortunately. Also have participated in CTF events, but not the competitions. The path I'm thinking of taking is getting AWS cloud practitioner this year and maybe solutions architect or security next year. Get a mid level job at Amazon or something like it to get my foot in the door at a FAANG-like company and pivot to higher paying roles a year or so in. Ideally, I'd get out of the military making no less than $100K, and $150K five years from then. Is this feasible? How would you approach this or what insight could you offer on the training/skills I should pursue to realize my timeline? Grateful for your time and wisdom! Shon

and this is why Im studying to be cloud engineer. Lol

AWS Level 7 pays $450k+ now. Level 7 is interesting because it covers management and senior level contributors. I am going to sharpen up my cloud skills. I have a ton of experience in the IT market (online since 1983).

Thank you I am currently taking PG cloud computing course with intellipaat

keep it up

Hey İlyas! Could you pls mention career path of platform engineering. I cant find much videos about it

Only man of class and culture rock the Logitech MX Master

This video gives more information on cloud career paths. Would there be any video available on the 'Platform Engineering' career?

Hello! Thanks for this great video. Which path do you think is best for freelancing/contracting? I am currently working towards GCP Cloud Architect certification in the hopes that it would be easier to find contracts.

Great Video, Can you talk about Working Remote as Solution Architect Role. Working Remote internationally while company is in USA.

Hello Ilyas am 19 year old teenager who started his his it journey I have studied basics such as network+ , managing window server . I even have got my first Job in IT which was service Desk analyst. Am going to start AWS courses . Can you give me tips as young teenager on how land my first cloud or AWS SA job and what should I focus on

Great video!! Regards from ARGENTINA

What can I do if I don't have any degree in IT and want to start a career in cloud computing. which of these careers would be the best for me.

Hey man, great information and delivery. I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to more content in the future. My background isn’t very related to IT. Some robotics, usage of PLCs and Honeywell software. Though I am interested in cloud computing. Is going to school for IT a good start? I have a hard time convincing myself that I can learn this field from home, writing papers. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Hey there, I really appreciate the content, really helpful advice and videos. Do you have any tips for someone aiming for cloud solutions architect role, what are some certifications I can pursue? Should I learn all 3 major cloud platforms, Azure, AwS and GC, what are some good learning resources for beginners? Thanks for your help

Was just looking for this, thanks!

Hello, thanks for the information. What certification would you recommend for cloud security? Thank you.

Hi Ilyas, could you pls let us know how can a fresher get an opportunity with a good CTC and how to search and attempt being with fresher CV records. Pls make a video on it because as far as I saw and heard every company asking more than 2+ yrs of experience.. Hope you understand the situation of many of us experiencing. Thankyou

well what about those people who are transitioning from a different industry into the cloud space? I'm in an AWS RE/start program. We are prepping for the Cloud Practitioner exam at the end of this month. We've been going at it since September. It's a 3-month program. Obviously, it doesn't take 3 months to prep for that cert, but they wanted to cover foundation IT stuff as well, so it's design for new people with no IT background. I've enjoyed this journey, and I'm aiming for cloud engineering. I already purchased Adrian Cantrill's training course for Solutions Architect and Developer's associates.

Am an infoSec person who work in the GRC space but wondering of transition into cloud security do you have any advice for me

Good video thanks, however these roles get quite confusing especially when you listen to so many explanations. What you've described the cloud architect does it what my AWS SAA course entails and it doesn't say anything about learning a programming language (though I'm learning Python for my own future development) but certainly knowing how to write a user-data bootstrap scripts. So how come Cloud Solution Architects aren't on this list when it's one of the highest paid certs?

I have only been in Cloud space for about 2 years and and make above $100k+. Get in before it’s too late. I’ve worked in both cloud presales and now I’m in Cloud Success, helping clients make the most of their environment and optimize. FinOps will be the next big thing, so get ahead of the curve. Cloud sprawl (aka your Cloud spend getting out of hand), is a big problem and people will pay big money to have someone clean up and monitor their spend to keep it under control.

Hello how are you, I'm Egyptian and I'm confused about the cloud administrator and cloud computing and cloud platform engineer can you please explain to me what's the difference between this and what should I do to join the job

Hi Ilyas! Thanks for creating this video. I have read on reddit about "Cloud will die with increase in Blockchain development". So I want to know your perspective on this and also share some stuff in the next video on "IoT and edge computing". Thanks a lot and waiting for your reply. - One of your connection

Hey man first of all amazing video👍🏽 second, is it true degrees are not required for cloud and certifications are more helpful? And are some of those jobs you listed entry level?

I’m marketing director and strategist making a move towards managing peoples data in a meaningful way. Cloud seems like the next evolution for me coming from a front end and content development background. Will I need a degree or can I make sense of my work experience?

In the future could you turn your recording mic value to high? I have my volume almost past the eighties and I can hardly hear you.

Hey I'm planning do bsc specializing in cloud computing and big data, I've got more than 6 months time. In mean time Do you think it's better if I get some certificate in cloud computing? If so can you recommend me one? Please guide me bro. Love your contents

I am currently a green badge in aws DCO. I want to move into the cloud but not sure what would be the best path in terms of certifications I should get.

Hay quá

Great video!! Love hearing about your take on cloud computing careers. I myself am in the technology career space. I have some questions for you: 1. What is the difference between Amazon and Salesforce SAAS/CRM products? 2. Being a solution architect, what do you think is the "next" role for a solution architect can take on having a couple years of being a solution architect behind you? 3. Which companies do you think will be a big role in the cloud computing space.

Hi friend, Your video is a great one. I'm looking forward to get into cloud engineering job. But later, will that knowledge be helpful if I go into IoT field?

Good information! i have a doubt, im 26 years old, Industrial and systems engineer, and i will start studying cloud computing, focus on AWS at the beginning, because of my age, do you think im in time for studying this? also what kind of job do you recomend me to start in this world? i get interest in IT and platform engineering

Is Cloud Architect the same as Cloud Data Architect? Or is it Cloud Solutions Architect

Hey I passed today my first certificate gcp associate and want to study now Cloud architecture Good sh*t video I love it bro 🙏🏻

Nice presentation! 17:00 But from 💲182,000 or 💲128,000?

How do you say one can build a portfolio for a SA?

Hello , do you have any videos for people with non it related career who wants to transition? I couldn’t find it. Pls provide a link if you have 🙏🏽 thank you

My background is BA may i do this course i want to do but have a lot of confusion after completion this course may i get a job or no because my background is non technical can u please guide me

which architect platform pays the most? Azure AWS or GCP?

$100,000-$150,000 is nothing these days. Just a comfortable salary to live on. That salary was impressive 10 years ago. Now 100k feels like 60k in many areas especially if you are living in major cities. Sadly these roles like Software engineering are LOWERING salaries because more and more people are qualified and it's a race to the bottom as people are accepting lower offers just to not be unemployed. We already saw this in the 2000's with consulting, project management, the 2010's with product management now the 2020's with UX, software engineering, cloud.

What's your preferred visualization/diagram tool?

Hey bro!!! What about about cloud devops engineer. What to learn and what salary did this devops engineer get?

I'm utterly impressed by this material. The book I investigated with these themes was profoundly insightful. "AWS Unleashed: Mastering Amazon Web Services for Software Engineers" by Harrison Quill

iLyas can you suggests some Books best for Cloud architect and Cloud Data Engineering for freshers pleaseee

Is it reasonable to expect, as someone with 0 tech experience, that getting an AWS cert in a few month is doable? And whether getting that cert alone is enough to get a $100k+ job?

Hi I am 39 n want Aws cloud have basic knowledge of computer. Where to start

Why do Ups drivers make more?

Hy can you please suggest me which aws certificate is best for job I'm fresher now I made my career in cloud computing but I don't know how to start...

1. Cloud Architect : $153.000 2. Cloud Security : $96.000 3. IoT Engineer : $110.000-$145.000 4. Data Engineer : $110.000-$164.000 5. Platform Engineer : $140.000

In Africa AZure is being more used than AWS.

What's privacy by design now it was zero trust architecture lol.. These terms

Does one need a degree 📜 to become a cloud architect with aws or salesforce? There are certs that I can take and I have over 10+ years of IT professional experience. Gettin around windows is elementary for me.

Dear handsome iLyas, thank you for this informative vlog. I would appreciate if you can suggest a curriculum or study road map that you suggest for someone want to start with zero knowledge in cloud. Please get back to me when you get this. ***Scammers and ads agencies stay away from me and go buy a toy to enjoy it with yourself. Thank you :)

Actually 185K USD is pretty low, is that only the base or TC?

I'm not sure how and where you got those salary numbers... but they are way off..... too low. Multiple each number by 1.5 times if you work for a non-fang company. Multiply each number by 2 or 2.5 times if you work for a non-fang company. In some case, where you are a SME in a field you can make more than 1 million a year.

Hi man, does AWS has a good working environment?

Oh boy, why did you leave AWS???

96k for a cloud security engineer seems a little low tbh

I dont agree that you should do devops side .. there is a guy for that and his job title is dev ops.

Why does this platform engineering sound a lot like devops engineering to me.

Where is Devops ?

BRO you work at ssense PLZ

I don't understand how the average Solutions Architect can make more than a Software Engineer. It's defies logic. Anyone can learn to be a Cloud Architect not anyone can learn to be a software engineer.

Broo I'm sri lankaa soo,, how many salary per month

are you morrocan ?

Hi Ilyas, Tell me you're making $200k-300k and i'll halt everything i'm doing for AWS ;)

Voice is very slow

Abi Türk müsün? :)

pennies compared to what you could make on Crypto. 🤣 wagies flexing wagies are so funny.
