Why Become A Cloud Architect?

Because when you become a Cloud Architect you'll be on Cloud 9!

Okay bad joke, don't hate us and keep reading for the real (and better) reasons.

Becoming an AWS Certified Solutions Architect is a great way to pivot into tech or take your existing career in tech to the next level. That's because it provides you with some seriously lucrative opportunities.

In fact the average compensation of an AWS Cloud Architect is over $196,000 / year.

That's right, $196,000! Maybe our "Cloud 9" joke wasn't really a joke after all, eh?

Plus the cloud computing market is huge. Like, really huge.

AWS isn't the only cloud service. There are others like Azure and GCP (Google Cloud Platform). But AWS has about 75% market share in the enterprise cloud market making it the biggest player in a trillion dollar market.

Just so we're clear: AWS is HUGE.

That's before we even talk about the fact that more and more companies are implementing and utilizing cloud services every day. This is only the beginning.

That means you have definitely not missed the boat to start your career in this high-paying, in-demand, future-proof sector.

With your AWS Solutions Architect certificate in-hand, you'll be ready to help companies design, develop, and deploy advanced cloud technologies.

Even better? The Solutions Architect certification covers a broad range of AWS services, focusing on how to put them together in a way that’s secure, resilient, high-performing and cost-optimized.

That means this AWS certification is a great foundation for all roles, even if you don’t plan to work as a Cloud Architect or Cloud Engineer.

So even if you’re a Developer or a Sysadmin, this is still a valuable certification to have under your belt.

What's the AWS Solutions Architect Certification?

AWS certifications are the gold standard for cloud certifications and are recognized globally. They help validate your skills and help potential employers identify candidates with certain levels of AWS expertise.

Whereas the entry-level Cloud Practitioner certification focuses on key foundational concepts, the Solutions Architect certification takes it to the next level by applying that knowledge.

This AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA) certification focuses on a wide range of services, including compute, networking, storage, databases, and how to deploy and manage them.

This in-demand certification can build your credibility in the field, increase your earnings potential, and put you front-and-center for leading AWS projects.

Here's what this AWS Certified Solutions Architect Bootcamp covers:

What's so special about this course?

Here's the breakdown of what specifically you'll learn in this AWS Solutions Architect Bootcamp:

0. AWS Certifications Overview

Don't understand the difference between a Cloud Practitioner and a Solutions Architect? No worries! You'll learn where this AWS Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA) certification fits into the overall AWS certification path.

Learn about more advanced concepts, and get practice with several hands-on demos. Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Lambda and the various container services (ECS, EKS, Fargate and ECR) shine in this section.

4. Elastic Load Balancing and Auto Scaling

Elasticity is a cornerstone concept for cloud computing. In this section, we get into detail about how that works in AWS, with the primary focus being load balancing and auto scaling groups.

5. Networking

At the end of the day AWS is essentially a giant network, and you really need to understand networking concepts to be successful. Are you a networking novice? Have no fear! This section will break it down with easy-to-understand concepts and plenty of practice.

12. Automation and Governance

You're here because this AWS bootcamp will teach you in an efficient and effective manner, so of course you'll also want to be efficient and effective when working as a Cloud Architect or Engineer.

Well lucky for you, AWS provides several services that automate repetitive tasks and make your life easier, such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS Service Catalog, and AWS Systems Manager. You'll learn how to master these services, become an expert with AWS, and save your time.
