- Hello, PerezTheDev here. Today we talk about the three big areas of AWS Cloud jobs - Architecting, Operations, and Developer-ing (DevOps). We characterize the work these jobs entail and help clarify some common misconceptions and confusions within these AWS roles to find which position is best for your cloud computing career, as well as narrow down which aws certification is best for you.
What is the difference between Cloud Architect, SysOps, Developer?
Which AWS certification is right for me?

okay this is by far the best most concise breakdown of this that I have come across. I was wondering what route to go and was wondering how different the roles of solutions architect and sysops was. now I have a clearer view of what I need to do next. thank you
Thank you for the kind feedback 🙏❤️
Excellent explanation! You really helped clarify the purpose of each. Much appreciated.
Thank you, happy to help ❤️
Thank you for finally explain the differences! Great video!
💙
Thanks for the breakdown…after explaining the three….I think AWS solutions architect and SysOps is more of my speed.
Hi iCharmCity, so glad to hear!
If there are any questions I can help with on your cloud journey feel free to reach out!
Apart from your informative video, your collection of books also influenced me, especially Ryan Hoilday's books,,,cheers!!
Thank you, happy to help! 🙏💛
great explaination. simple and concise. thank you!
Thank you 🙏❤️
Clear and succinct explanations thank you.
Happy to help! 😊
Thank you for this video made things a bit clear for me.
💙
This breakdown is very clear
😄💙
Thank you for this bro
Anytime!
Thanks for the video. I will be starting Yellowtail in May. It’s a 9months program and at the end I will have my Sys Ops certification. Can’t wait.
How exciting! Enjoy the journey, wishing you the best 🙏🙌🙌
Hi Liyah, how did Yellowtail go for you?
Short and effective video thanks.
💙
Thank you for this info I’m about to start solutions architect
Wishing you the best! 🙌
Thanks for sharing, real good explanation. I keep hearing people say do the solutions architect first but I think it really depends on what the person wants to do and what they like. I work as a network admin in a large refinery but would love to learn AWS developer skills and possibly work remotely.
Exactly Robert! It’s about self awareness. What is your end goal that makes you happy. You know you want to work on Developer skills, so aim for that GO! 🙌
@@PerezTheDev thanks man, appreciate it.
@@PerezTheDev May I ask what materials you used for your AWS studies
@@TheBeach5563 most important thing is to use a practice exam. I mainly used online training from Go Cloud Architects as well as the book for additional material on anything I wanted an extra read on. I hope these help serve you as much as they did me!
@@PerezTheDev thanks again. appreciate it.
Thanks for the video
Always happy to help! 🙌
You generally need past work experience that previously worked in a Systems Administrator role Systems Engineer role to work on the Operations side in the cloud. For operations roles, cloud services is like an extension to existing sysadmin roles given that the system administrator role is evolving and expanding. A DevOps Engineer is nothing more than an Operations/System Administrator that works in an agile way that collaborates with the Dev team. They assist in the deployment and automation of the code into production as well as administer and maintain the cloud server infrastructure. Most companies operate in a hybrid environment both cloud and On-prem infrastructures. You are going to have to know both as an admin.
Thanks for sharing Eman! 🙌

Can a fresher become cloud engineer? I have a bachelor degree on CS and worked as Developer only 5 months now I working as Operation associate for 2 years. I want to back at tech industry. Can I come back and become cloud engineer? what to do how to start for cloud associate or engineer or architect ?
@@mhsclips9048 Depends If you want to work on Development or Operations. There's two sides to it. Operations you a sysadmin background.
@@eman0828 what is best for fresher and easy to get a job? How to start and I will be very grateful
i love doing something new rather than maintaining something, seems i'd love to be a SA now
Nice! 😊
Thanks for the video, really interesting. Since I am interested in the architecture, I was wondering whether you think it is possible to enter the field without a degree in IT (I have a Bachelor in Business Administration) and currently working in the network consulting field (LAN/WAN/WLAN/...). Also I'm working on certifications as CompTia N+ and Sec+, with the long term goal -> Solution Architect. But I still don't know anything f.e. about databases, programming, scripting, etc. On the other hand you mentioned it's "high-level" and also a lot of social skills.
It is totally possible! Just requires focused study, and some grit. Keep at it! Yes solutions architecture you don't need scripting, it is more so focused on design. Understanding why we are using certain tools over others, and how to communicate that value to other business stakeholders so they understand. 🙌
Thanks for the post. For a computer science engineering(not software) graduate, would the following certification 1)CCNA 2)AWS certified solution architect (associate) 3)AWS certified sysOps Adminstrator(associate) 4) AWS Certified Advanced Networking , VSphere7, Terraform and Ansible be a good path. Or would you suggest a different order. Thanks
Love the video ! As someone who has a interests in networking and path rn is ccna vmware Network virtualization then Linux essentials and python automation . Would you say once I start my cloud journey that the developer and sysops then advanced networking would work ? Or what would you do for someone who’s end goal is advanced networking ?
If your goal is networking then study for CCNA. Then from their you can work towards CCNP or if you also want virtualization then the VCP from VMWare 🙌
@@PerezTheDev thanks for the response ! My goal is the get into networking just to get some IT experience first my goal in the cloud was just to figure out which path my networking skills would be best suited for!
@@cjmurray7892 ohh , yea then I would recommend architecture as the closest. You have to learn and understand how the different functions within the cloud work. It's mostly virtualized networking concepts! Wishing you the best
@@PerezTheDev all good I just appreciate your response ! Thank you man have a good day
What sort of jobs does the aws associate solutions architect land? since it is not very technical. I assume it is geared for a consultant type role. Is the salary high with associate architect cert? I just dont know if there is a defined career path for aws achitect vs sys ops does. It can go from sys ops --> devops ---> developer.
Yes you would be more of a sales role, more in a solutions engineer role consulting with clients on the their best needs for their cloud infrastructure.
I am crm functional doing
I am planning aws but little bit confuse which certificate should I choose for good career
What would you like to do?
Tq ❤️
❤️🙌
is it a good decision to take ccp cert then architect cert to get good position in industry?
It depends on what is your career goal?
Hey can you talk a bit more about what AWS Developer does?
Will do!
thanks
😊😊🙌
I have passed aws cloud practitioner certification.whats next for me ? I don't want to code I hate coding now... Despite of doing coding for the last 8 years now I want to get rid of coding. I like sharing application releases/builds to clients, building deployment on servers and server management etc. Now please suggest where should I move ...? I like to provide application support and manage operations of application, and I want to move on little bit non-technical side. what should I do next?
I mean, if you are looking for non-technical side then maybe consider solutions architecture. It is a nice combination of soft skills and understanding the cloud technology.
@@PerezTheDev thanks a lot you are really helpful. Should I go for solution architect associate now?
I'm interested in joining this field of work with some prior beginner experience in networks and infrastructure. I want to find the path I should take to go from 0 to hero. Will passing the AWS CCP exam be enough for me to land a job in the field?
Hi Cameron, thank you for reaching out! Is networking your goal? If you don’t know too that’s fine, first build some self awareness on what you want to do/enjoy doing within the tech industry. If you are saying network and infrastructure then if I were you I would go for AWS Pro cert and CCNA MINIMUM. Earning your CCNP should help get your foot in the door for interviews. But you need to learn and know the tech. Of course this all depends on your end goals, and how much time you have.
Let me know if you have more questions, wishing you the very best on your journey!
Hi there, thanks for the wonderful video . I am willing to learn AWS SA and work in that area. Can you please suggest which real world skillsets are needed to get hands dirty and crack a job as AWS SA ? Thanks a lot !!
I would say go check out videos by @iLyasInTheCloud or @TechwithLucy as they have in-depth experience working at and with AWS cloud services!
I do plan on posting a video for a cloud project soon enough though!
Thank you for this clarity. How much time should a beginner in AWS, take time to learn to appear for the architect exam?
For the architect exam, you probably need 20/30 hours. So however much you are willing to put in the work and study. 🙌📚
Hi, I work as vmware admin, can you suggest me how enter into devops and how to start
If you know you want to enter DevOps then start studying and gaining exposure to DevOps. You can go for the DevOps professional cert if you want to do DevOps and cloud.
Good morning Mr Dev,
I am Raghuram, my daughter(BTech Computer Science Engineering final year) completed AWS Cloud Practitioner and selected as AWS Developer in Cognigent as fresher. It's good for fresher, please suggest me
It just depends on your career goals, where are you now and where are you trying to go
Can you tell me what exactly will be the role of AWS developer?
It really depends on the needs of the organization. But usually it would be a DevOps type of role, or even a developer who happens to use AWS services for code and other services. 👍
Sir, I am Java full stack developer.
So I am planning to do AWS.
So which certificate should I learn sir
If you want your career to be within development, then go for the Developer cert. You want to go for certs that will help solidify towards end goal
@@PerezTheDev can you elaborate sir...
@@lovetheentertainment9949 you need to ask yourself, “what are my career goals?” What do you want to do in the realm of cloud? You can aim towards a goal only AFTER you have chosen what your goal is.
@@PerezTheDev understood sir I want to be development side so can I opt developer certificate.
What is the pre requisites for developer certificate
There are none. You can also check aws site for what the breakdown of the exam is 👍
Is free certificate worth ?from udemy or udacity etc. Can i get job with free certificate
Hi Alakesh, It’s important to think about supply and demand. Go after the certs that are in demand from employers like AWS CSA-P or GCP-CPA
@@PerezTheDev and what about CCNA?
I have taken very first step and passed cloud practitioner certification what's next for me. Please guide me
Congratulations! From their it comes down to a matter of self awareness. What do you like/want to study?
Whatever you decide is for you I can better guide from there. But you have to make the decision of which path you want to go down.
@@PerezTheDev I don't want to code I hate coding now... Despite of doing coding for the last 8 years now I want to get rid of coding. I like sharing application releases/builds to clients, building deployment on servers and server management etc. Now please suggest where should I move ...? I like to provide application support and manage operations of application, and I want to move on little bit non-technical side. what should I do next?
@@PerezTheDev Hello bro I am desperately waiting for your response
@@ahsanali-gm4ci the trick is to look at what you like, and find roles where you can do more of that!
@@PerezTheDev that's what I am asking which path should I follow and next which certification should I do?
Which is easier?
Depends on your current skillset, the easiest is certainly the cloud practitioner certification
Voice quality is low
Thank you for the feedback! I will keep this in mind for future videos 🙌
All AWS Associate certifications are useless. And will never get you a job.
All comes down to the individual. Everybody starts somewhere and have different understanding.
The certs are ultimately just tools and resources to help you learn and grow more. There are many factors in landing a job. Certs can definitely be a positive factor.
