One of your best videos, summarizes all we need to do to be a Cloud Architect. It is rare to find all we need and how all things connect in a single video. I have 8 years of .NET development experience and then 3 years of Data Engineer + Tech Lead experience on AWS and now working as a Cloud Architect for last 2 years. So total of 13+ years in IT. Now as a Cloud Architect, I always feel lack of Network and Data center knowledge. If I see the certificates you mentioned for Networking, it mentions about 3-5 years of hands-on experience in that field. I can't work on networking now but want to understand it for my Cloud Architect career. How do I get started in networking with this background?

[@GoCloudArchitects]

To learn networking you can read the Internet engineering task force RFCs, get training from Cisco or Juniper networks or you could take our training. We focus heavy on the network and datacenter as without this knowledge it’s hard to design a high availability mission critical Those certifications require no experience regardless of what’s on the website. I did the CCNP before I ever worked in networking. I was also a CCIE within 6 months of the time I started networking.

[@ladakshay]

[@pkabuchi]

Hi Mike, i'm currently studying for CISSP and i'm interested in pursuing a career as a Cloud Security Architect. Now, i have a question; between SABSA and TOGAF security architecture certification, which one would you recommend and why ?

[@GoCloudArchitects]

@@pkabuchi Hi Patrick. Since you said cloud security architect I would start with the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional and mix that with the CSA-P. That will cover cloud and security. I would focus my efforts on executive presence training, emotional intelligence training, business acumen, and developing competency. That's far more important then a SABSA or a TOGAF certification

[@patrickwangondu2652]

@@GoCloudArchitects Thanks for your feedback. I would love to followup on this after CISSP. Please clarify, the CSA-P. I thought its AWS CSA-P(Certified Solutions Architect Professional). Could you be referring to AWS Certified Security Speciality course?

[@reverendsama4458]

Hi Mike thanks for your wonderful analytics. Please I will really like to follow the career of a solutions architect. Finalising my AWS Solutions Architect Associate exams soon.

Greetings Sir and thank you for the realistic training and teaching. I find you approach realistic and hands on. I am very much interested in Cloud Architect or Cloud Engineer jobs and for sure will need a solid boot camp like your of course, but my problem is I need to find out the cost and the payment options needed, I have been in the IT field for sometimes now but I need the needed foundation, most training on the internet teach one about cloud services to pass exams but to me they are useless. Please your kind response(s) will be deeply appreciated. have a good evening.

[@edd7397]

Difference between CCNA and CCNP is a light-year. To pass CCNP you would study for a year at least without guarantee that you will pass it.

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Well it’s up to the person. I passed the CCNP 20 years ago in 10 days. I also passed the CCIE back when it was a two day exam in less then 6 months. My number is 7417 Then again I studied 16 hours per day 7 days per week. Nothing is impossible - it’s how hard to are willing to work. They didn’t have practice exams back then for the CCIE.

[@varunvarunsai8514]

[@GoCloudArchitects]

[@abuomar5007]

Thank you for the informative video. I would like to know what's about the architecture frameworks? Like Togaf? Is that not needed to get an architect job?

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Most architects are not togaf certified. Personally I built my career by taking togaf architectures that no one understood and translated them in the actual architectures Architecture careers are not about frameworks, they are about digital transformation for our customers So this is much more a career that requires business acumen, leadership skills, leadership, CXO relevancy, and system design skills. This is not a career that’s built on certifications

[@pyniuCK]

Hi Mike! Another great video with amazing advice. Just one question security-wise, you often mention CISSP cert in regard to cloud security, what are your thoughts about CCSP which is cloud-specific cert by ISC2? Thanks a lot again for all of the advice you provide.

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Hi Pnu, Thank you. We strongly prefer the CISSP and CEH. The other certifications just don’t hold the value to get hired and really progress in your career.

[@pyniuCK]

@@GoCloudArchitects thanks for your reply, CCSP (Certified Cloud Security Professional) is cert by ISC2 as is CISSP.. so while that cert is Cloud specific... does it hold value? CISSP is just general security cert. would not be good idea to get CCSP cert, won't that provide cloud specific security knowledge?q

[@GoCloudArchitects]

@@pyniuCK I recommend only the CISSP or CEH. The goals of a certification is to get you more opportunity or raise your salary. These are the only two along with the offensive security professional. If you do the CCSP you will still need to do the CISSP air CEH after as the CCSP isn’t enough. So focus on what matter the CISSP air the CEH. See every day you spend on certs that don’t help cost you 600 dollars is lost wages. As the average cloud architect or cloud security architect earns 600 dollar per day. So get the ones that matter and nothing else. If you want to do more focus on other big certifications Like CCIE did networking Togaf for architecture Ones that build your career

Hello Mike! What certs would you recommend for a Cloud Networking Path?

[@GoCloudArchitects]

I recommend you learn networking and not focus on certifications. But as far as certifications I would suggest a CCNP, and Aviatrix professional. Avoid anything like the AWS advanced networking as it’s too basic to provide any valuable knowledge.

Hi Mike, congratulation for this video. Really very good. What are the chances of a 45-year-old professional with deep experience only on- premises environment getting a job as cloud architect?

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Ricardo - with the right training and most of that training in business you could easily be hired as a cloud architect. We got a 61 year old their first cloud architect job a few weeks ago. Here is an example of someone who never worked in tech who didn’t even finish high school who we trained and helped get hired as a cloud architect. He worked very hard and is smart but shows anyone can be an architect. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIDGdJpjhLyfnqs My background was internal medicne and started my architecture about 25 years ago. So the answer is of course you could be a cloud architect with the right training.

[@Praxy23]

Good morning Mike great content this is what I'm been looking for from last 1yr since I heard about rising cloud jobs Few questions You do lot of stuff for free on this channel so what's the difference between this and classes you offwr with some fee$? What's the guarantee if we take your $$$ classes like job wise / satisfaction guaranteed / support / resume or job placement? Fyi I am 40yr old in retail industry from last 18yrs I am in Canada Your honest and trustworthy input would be greatly appreciated Great job Mike thank you for all you do

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Hi. There is a major difference between what we offer free Vs what we do with paid classes. In our paid programs we teach our students how to be cloud architects. We don’t do that on KZbin. Our students get hired every day, get career guidance and get live instruction with live feedback and coaching. Now we cannot guarantee you come to class, do the work or follow our methods as such we cannot guarantee your success. But you can look at any of the many examples of people we got hired on our KZbin channel. And if you to make the determination of spending 1000 dollars for training to get a job that pays between 120-287k is worth the expense. It’s a pretty simple return on investment capital model 😊

[@Praxy23]

@@GoCloudArchitects great what course would you suggest for newbie like me ? are your courses full time or part time? does your course also teach linux, networking, iam and all this basics which you have mention in this video? how log is full course ? do you folks help with projects, resume, interview, job placement? how much time one individual need to spend each day or week or month to be successful ? are your fees in cdn$ or usd$?

Hello Mike, I currently have aws practitioner, and sec+. I have practice a lot of active directory, domain controllers, nfs, pfSense, basic pentest and security. I did all this through vmware and virtualbox, and I also practiced creating server2016 with active directory using aws ec2, directory services, and vpc. I also know basic linux commands. I originally studied all this for cybersecurity, but can I still use this experience for cloud jobs? I still have a lot to learn, and I think my best bet would be getting the AWS Solutions Architect Pro and Red Hat cert. Can you please point me in the right direction? Thank you!
