This short video brilliantly explained the differences between Solution Architect, SysOps and DevOps. Great insights about focusing your time, energy and training on appropriate cloud career path. Thank you Mike, always.
Hi, great videos! So I'm in the process of trying to break into the AWS arena, got my SAA-C02 about 2 months ago....and yes it just seems that it ain't enough! Been an IT Manager for the last 10 years, some IT Consulting recently. Can't wait for tomorrow's Zoom session. It will be my first time connecting to you! Searching for my first AWS job has been very confusing to say the least, do I do Agile, Python.....the list goes on. Anyway see you tomorrow!
As roles evolve, DevOps and SysOps Engineers are really glorified Operations/System Administrators as to Cloud Engineer equivalent to Systems Engineer and Cloud Architect to Solutions or Systems Architect. A lot of Sysadmin jobs are under different variations of iob titles such as Cloud Administrator, DevOps Engineer, Azure Administrator or AWS administrator. Many traditional Sysadmin job titles simply gotten a name swap given that job titles in IT can be ambiguous.
@@GoCloudArchitects Yeah let alone confuse people with the DevOps title as an acutal role in IT when in reality it's not an acutal role but instead a cultural method or process of doing things with in a company like agile. It even took my quite some time to educate myself and truly understand what DevOps was about. HRs and Recruiters don't understand what it is either and change the job title as a buzzword. So many Sysadmin job titles have been swapped to hype up the buzzword. I mean they could of just kept the Sysadmin job title as is and specify in the job description with a DevOps approach collaborating with the developers since not all companies practices or utilities thr DevOps approach.
Based on my background I feel Devops will be my best choice. Where can one get the resources to get my first DevOps job? Training and Hands on Thank you.
Olu, Our focus on on cloud computing. For devops training I would go to global knowledge. They have some high quality certification training. We can help you with the cloud aspect of devops but really you will need some real industry training too. For the true devops training I would go to global knowledge. I just want to make sure you are hire able when your done your training. A simple AWS devops certification is just not enough unless you have a deep devops offering. So I would do that and get some good cloud knowledge. We are going to do a free live AWS certified solutions architect bootcamp on June 14th. That will give you the requisite AWS knowledge and it’s free. www.gocloudarchitects.com/free-aws-csa-p-bootcamp
Honestly I don’t know what a solutions architect really is. As that term is used by interior decorators, to plumbers, phone systems, so web designers and then if course and everyone including AWS. Since it’s really a meaningless term it could be anything from someone framing a picture to a cloud architect. And when used in the cloud world it can literally mean anything. Anything from sales, dev ops, says ops, cloud engineer, cloud architect etc. So I focus on cloud architects, cloud engineers, cloud security architects, cloud sysops engineers, cloud devops engineers etc. Your question is a great one. I’m so glad you asked. The more we can narrow down what we want to do the better and faster we can achieve those goals.
hi, I'm considering intending two different boot camps I would like to know which one would equip me The ultimate goal is to do cloud engineering... Bootcamp number one is called intellectual point and the certification consist of the CompTIA trifecta Security, Networking and A+ along with CCNA and the CCNP.....The second Boot camp is called Divergence and consist Server+, Linux+, Cloud+, Network+, Security+, and Pentest+...
They are certifications and that won’t make you a cloud engineer. If you want to become an actual cloud engineer we recommend our cloud engineer career development program. Here you will get real cloud engineering skills. gocloudcareers.com/cloud-engineer-career-development-program/?amp=1
@@DallasFort1857 They are not even close. An architect earns far more than a DevOps Engineer. At the high level it can be 2-3 times a DevOps engineers pay.
Could you do a video on which Cloud Vendor Certifications would give a future Cloud Engineer newbie the better options for a foot in the door in 2022? GCP, Azure, AWS.
Sure. We can do that. But most of the certifications that will give the cloud engineer the competitive advantage will be outside the cloud vendor space. Meaning once someone has an azure expert, or aws Certified solutions architect professional the cloud engineer would be better served by getting more industrial certifications. Things that have much more correlation to the work cloud engineers do. Something that give the cloud engineer the depth to do their work. Terraform Linux Scripting And many crucial cloud engineer skills. The things cloud engineers will need to do each day. The things that are not covered in cloud certification. The things that get someone hired. But we can put together something for the cloud engineering audience. But know it won’t just be a list of cloud certifications. It will be more geared towards building a cloud engineer brand. Certifications can help someone get an interview. It’s knowledge that gets someone hired. So certifications are really the resume padding for the interview. The competitive advantage comes from expertise.

No. The jobs are exactly opposite. Your can’t fly and airplane and take care of people in their seats at the same time. People don’t want an engineer to be an architect. They want an executive. It’s completely different skill set. The architect focuses on the business. Sysops people focus on teach. So you need to pick one.
I don't see a job description for sysops in the hiring posts but the operation role I see it in the cloud engineer description job ... is the same right?

is there a job thats a cross between cloud architect and sysops? Both design and build... I feel like thats my dream job possibly
