I love how you guys come up with a clear explanation about certifications and the role of being a Cloud Architect. It helped me a lot because one of the things that is burning me out lately is to be part of a demanding job market - that forces you to have a lot of different ones without specifying what you're actually going to do there. I'm transitioning to this role having a development background and usually is not clear what you've to pursue in order to achieve this position.

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Thank you. Why don’t you come to our free webinar where we will go over the entire cloud architect role and skill set. It will be live on zoom, so you can ask questions as well. www.gocloudarchitects.com/become-the-ultimate-cloud-architect-webinar-youtube/

@GoCloudArchitects I agree with most of your shared insight. Certifications only carry so much weight. There's a hard limit for skills predictability with all certifications. However, when you say things like "someone should know when to use a forward proxy or reverse proxy", or "someone should know how S3 object store works under the hood" --paraphrasing of course--I think your opinions carry more weight when you recommend learning resources to help people improve. I think you could have instructed the view to pick up a "systems design" book and learn how to create S3, or how to engineer Twitter while assessing the system/component architecture trade-offs. Small recommendations like that will help people learn move, elevate their understanding.

[@GoCloudArchitects]

I appreciate your thoughtful feedback! You make a good point about the importance of providing actionable recommendations for learning and skill improvement.

[@peraZdera88]

TL;DR Don't buy certification. Buy my certification.

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Thank you for your comment, and I'm sorry that was your takeaway. We don't offer a certification. We do however encourage using certifications the right way to best support your desired goals. Usually highlight 2-3 certifications if necessary. Our primary concern is competency in a subject area.

[@peraZdera88]

Right.. you're just not calling it "certification"...@@GoCloudArchitects
