Reasons why you should be an AWS Solutions architect: 1) If you enjoy interacting with customers ( i.e. ppl )and understand their needs. 2) If you feel excited to learn and build new skills 3) If you want to provide advice and suggestions only ...rather than building it yourself. 4) if you don't want your roles to be defined 5) If you find role of AWS solution architect fulfilling.

I've been a solution architect for years, and can definitely attest to the info in this video. A key area of focus for me is interacting with customers and other technical folks to ensure that customers are getting the right solution to meet their needs. My goal is not to sell a specific technology or platform, but more to ensure they solve current and future problems.

@muhammadali-rn4sd solution architect is a broad term. I worked in infrastructure design, but now I'm in presales. You won't know the difference just looking at titles. If you see specific programming languages, OOP, TDD, or similar terms, the role is for software architecture not system archieecture

@lhxperimental Месяц назад

If your role is a "AWS" solution architect, you are selling an "AWS" solution even if the right answer is "run it on-prem with Kubernetes". I was interviewing for a Cloud Solutions Architect role and was not particularly keen on joining the company I was interviewing for, so was willing to screw the interview. So I did ask them the same question - Am I expected to recommend a cloud based solution even if I feel a non cloud solution is a better fit? "Of Course not, we do what's best for the customer" was the reply. But I didn't hear from them after that. If your role as a word cloud in it, you are supposed to sell the cloud. If you are working for AWS, you definitely are supposed to sell AWS even if that's not the best fit for the customer.

@burropoco Год назад

#4 is definitely so true. Some customers will inquire of you about quite literally *everything!* even things that are completely out of scope??? At times it's hard. You really have to learn diplomacy and never respond like an annoyed parent chastising a child for continually pestering them. Great content btw!

@abass-giwamukhtar7826 Год назад

Quite insightful. I only see myself as an average fit for a Solutions Architect role.. My primary interest lies with DevOps and I'm currently striving in that path. After having watched several vids from you and others, I've realized the need to clearly define my path so I don't end up writing all AWS certification exams in series only to be clueless at the very end as to what role best fits me. The earlier one discovers his/her primary area of interest, the better one kick-start investing and building oneself in the respective area. I guess it's more conservative too in terms of resources that will be expended. In all, I think I'm a best fit for both roles, just that my preference for one surpasses the other. At certain point in life too, if you can't have what you love, you gotta love what you have😘😊

@TechwithLucy Год назад

Thanks for watching as always! 🙌 That's definitely a great point - never good to just do certification exams just for the sake of it, without having an end goal. Let me know how your journey goes with exploring DevOps! 😄

Hey abass , i m currently on the devops path , i m cloud practitioner certified , what s the next AWS certificate you recommand for a non developper background ! SAA or Sysops?

@abass-giwamukhtar7826 Год назад

@@mohamedchedly1784 Hi Muhamed, I'll probably allow Lucy to guide us through that.. For me however, I skipped the cloud practitioner exam and went for the Solutions architect Associate exam. While I hone my skills in DevOps with reading, taking courses and project based learning to encapsulate hands on and gathering related skills as opposed to just watching videos, I plan taking courses on Developer Associate and Sysops. After which I'll prepare extensively and go write DevOps Pro exam directly. That's my current road map.. Why I had to skip Dev Associate and Sysops exam and go for DevOps Pro is actually due to my lack of financial strength.. If you do have the means, taking Dev Associate and Sysops Exam will aid you a lot in your quest.

A much needed video Lucy, thanks for uploading this. Most people blindly dive into solutions architecture, either cloud or in software development, but they don't have a clear cut idea of what the role actually involves. I've been getting trained in AWS since some time now and I'm targeting to get the CCP certificate to get into entry level jobs, and I don't feel inclined towards architecture. I'm more interested in sysops or networking or security specialisation in the long run, or even cloud support roles

I failed my loop in August for Specialist SA EC2 Graviton (London). I was working as a Sr. Applications Eng. at Arm (Manchester) and an SA role is a dream job for me mainly because of my personality and inclination. I enjoy working with the customer, (have always worked as an AE my life), I have spent days and weeks training customers, been a tech advisor for HPC customers globally, have always been into learning and acquiring new skills and keep me up to date with the new trends. I felt sad failing it because the role had already gone to someone else since the whole interview thing got quite delayed (over 2.5 months form the date of application) and I was then interviewed for parallel roles on IoT + Digital Twin or HPC core.

@mikediaz3542 Год назад

I have been writing code for over 2 decades now and using AWS for a little over 5 years, when I look at SA role I am looking at it from an IAAS part. I automate a great deal of tasks, and even have code that writes code. I have found that I advise the teams on what to do, and even write the CFN for them, but it gets butchered in the executing of it out and red-tape. I suppose I can lead them to the path but I cannot expect them to walk it. When it comes to AWS the most important thing that you can learn is the error messages that arise, and the quirks in the UI and CLI. Once you can speak AWS-lingo it is not so bad.

Thank you!

@rafa-borges Год назад

Hey Ronald! I’m also an AWS Solutions Architect and I can answer your questions. (1) You can if you want. We have generalist SAs that cover the broader spectrum of our services, but we also have Specialist SAs that can dive deeper into specific technologies (e.g, an IoT SA) or industry (automotive, finance, pharma, energy…). (2) Because we span over multiple areas, we can move into different roles. The most tenured SAs usually move to some sort of technical leadership role, like CTO, directors, or any role where experience with technical decisions is important. SAs with less experience usually move to a role where building things play a bigger role.

Thank you for covering this topic. I wanted to become SA for the pay it offers but I still keep thinking is it really what I wanted? Now I'm kind of clueless. Main draw back for me is the first reason.

I appreciate the honest response! It depends, if you haven't worked much with customers before, who knows - you might up finding it enjoyable. 😄 However, if you've had experience working with customers and didn't like it at all, then it's better to consider a less client-facing role.

You should not become SA just for the pay it offers. Find your passion. You can make the same amount of money and even more when you love what you do. There are tons of jobs that offer a good pay. It's not easy to know if you like it until you finally try it. But you can ask yourself whether you would enjoy talking to customers, designing solutions, and learn and study constanly to provide the most cost effective solution.

I am a software developer wanting to build applications on AWS, i.e more hands on with the AWS systems and code... Which certification do you recommended? Thanks

Hi, thanks for this video, I'm now just preparing to pass the SAA exam, a question in my mind is: does SA need to do coding sometimes?

@Giin_Films Год назад

Would it be sensible to take on the role of a solutions architect as a stepping stone to becoming a cloud architect? I've gotten my certs but my current team hasn't had any large enough projects that required designing or building out large workloads to really test my skills. I've done a couple of workshop exercises and labs as well, but I'm not sure if I'm getting realistic results.

@TechwithLucy Год назад

Hmm here’s what I’m thinking: If your goal is to become a cloud architect, any hands-on cloud experience will be helpful, including becoming a solutions architect. However, there are definitely ways you could go straight to a Cloud Architect role without having to become a solutions architect first. I reckon maybe take whatever opportunity you can to gain real-world / hands-on experience to help you with the goal. 😄

Thank you so much for the video. I was not sure y i need to do SA Certification. But now am pretty clear!! One query, can i do AWS admin certification without having SA Certification done?? Aws practitioner is done

Thanks for watching!

@Ray_TambaBudol_Marcos Год назад

I love talking to people and plan for them, however at this point I love to be more hands on with Linux and building a cloud so I'll go with Cloud Engineer for now, but I'm sure eventually when I kids a bit older I'll will try cloud Architect.

@arlecchino783 Год назад

Hi lucy, I wanted to know does AWS developer associate certification is more powerful to have then AWS solutions architect certification?

@damarion58512 Год назад

Hi Lucy, I had a quick question. What is the difference between Solution Architecture and Software architecture for tech. Also what role is better for people who are more into designing?

@rafa-borges Год назад

The difference is the scope pontue job. Software architects will focus on a single application and how the multiple modules of it talk to each other (keep in mind that the module could be an external application, like a database or a data broker). Solution architects will focus on how those applications integrate with each other, the infrastructure to support it, and best practices around security and data management.

@jasonlion6356 Год назад

How difficullt is it to constantly sharpen your saw of knowledge in AWS? I feel like it wouldnt be as difficult as if you were first learning AWS. Or am I wrng?

@fayeza8279 Год назад

Hi Lucy, would you be able to show us how a mock client meeting would happen as a solutions architect? I'm curious to learn about to structure these meetings and gather requirements effectively

@DanielAfonso-IT_Consultant Год назад

There are 2 types of meetings: the kind where you chat about AWS minutia and say "it depends" a lot. The other type is when you listen closely and hide saying "yikes" every 15 seconds.
