Such brilliant common sense! 😁 You can’t shortcut a decade + of knowledge. You have to earn it!

All these people that found jobs are young. Thats depressing.

I've been interviewed for solutions architect roles at Microsoft and Amazon (and failed at both). This title ("Solutions Architect") is a very deceptive one. If you're thinking that this role is a technical one, you're going to be thoroughly disappointed. This role, at least in the big tech, requires some serious customer handling skills. Technical expertise is a distant second skill and you need be even good at it ! For example, I know someone who used to work at a product company where I spent several years. He worked as a manager for a practice. Never saw him work on a technical project. He cleared only one basic certification while being a part of the organisation for almost 2 decades (while the rest of us were threatened with expulsion, if we didn't clear 3 levels of this certification). He basically knew how to show off as an experienced mature guy with a managerial bent. He got hired by Microsoft a few years back. Similarly another guy (a colleague of a friend) got hired by Google as an AI manager when he doesn't even have one Google certification. Another guy whom I've known personally now works for a very famous investment banking giant in a very senior executive position overseeing the company's enterprise wide AI/ML direction. Again, he has no certification but he's good at hosting q&a's or hackathons on these topics. Moral of the story is don't fall for these stupid titles; unless you are street smart, unless you have the skills to fool people into believing that you're some exceptional genius, your certifications are worth zilch and you won't get the job.

which cloud provider would you recommend in London? I watched another video, where it advised me to choose a cloud provider "in-demand" in my city - what is your take on this?

Andrew looks like Destiny from Wish. no hate :D

I just did all the way to Step 6 and decided to recap here to see if I missed something important. And yes, last video I already added the aws-vault solution, which is really helpful.

SA role in microsoft business applications is virtually inseperable from development.

If y'all are looking for a mentor and coach, check out Mike at Go Cloud Careers. He is a veteran in this industry and he has a rich network of recruiters and hiring managers. But you must be willing to work your ass off and he isn't free. He hosts free webinars every week where he answers questions from the audience about this kind of topics and he has excellent content on his channel with great advice. That being said, there is a lot of great advice to be learned from the videos on this channel too.

As an SA, I came from a Software Engineering background. I have an absolute love/hate relationship with being an SA. Some days I miss coding and other days I’m so happy I don’t have to dig into sloppy codebases. In my day to day I couldn’t imagine not having a technical background. I’m highly customer facing, but all the questions I field are highly technical. If I didn’t have a background in software, i think I’d have a hard time comprehending many of the architectural components. I build architectures and whiteboard on the spot to solution ideas. I’ll start my day with 2-3 calls and by the afternoon 3 more calls have been tacked on to my schedule. This means I’m dealing with 6-10 different customers facing dozens of different problems, dozens of different components and hundreds of different moving pieces. This alone ensures you need ti know a lot. But you will NOT know everything so you need to also be resourceful. Software engineering is a different type of hard from Solutions Architect. I find SA roles more demanding, but SWE more complex. They’re both demanding and complex.

I think it's a bit ironic how the last guest here, Luca is simply a very bad speaker. Yet if this is still a customer facing role where you are constantly communicating with others, I’d say he’s got a lot of work to do in this area, go figure

This is such an insightful video. Absolutely loved it.

This has actually discouraged 😞 me. But I will keep going since I have paid for the bootcamp 🖥🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

👩🏽‍💻😫🤦🏾‍♀️😮

As somebody who is finishing up their BS in cloud computing, this is the best advice. Programming is such a diverse skill to have. Start here and grow.

This video was so helpful! Thank you!

Hello, Lou. Thank you so much for all or your insights and your generosity in sharing what you know. I believe that there are many very great people that want to break into the technology field and do well, but are making huge errors. Your detailed explanations really open up new ways of thinking. Thank you.

What a SA does!? Humble yourself. Be a soundboard for the customer. We are not break-fix engineers. We are visionary and help to outline the overall goal of that customer’s specific vision and goals. 1. Be very outcome focused. 2. What is the customer/business trying to accomplish. Help them save cost. 3. Be able to tie the pain points back to the business goals for each client/customer. 4. Know a good specialist. 5. Life long learning. 6. Gain trust with cost optimization. 100 - do you know what it is ? 200 - can you explain it? 300 - have you done it? 400 - can you show someone how to do it, in-depth?

Very good video '

Im trying to deploy after adding publicRead and Im getting access denied for the s3 in the terminal, any help would be greatly appreciated 😢

100 % agree. My end goal was always SRE/Devops but i wanted to become proficient so i first got a job as a network engineer. After that i went on to get a job as linux administrator. And now I got job in Devops and i feel very well established in my foundations so it is really easy to learn all the new stuff.

awesome project, will definately build it, awesome content, not seen on any other channels in cloud space, keep up the work

Then what are entry roles in the cloud?

42:04 these are great questions

Thank you !

This is pure gold! You got a new suscriber here.

how do I structure the Work Experience / Projects Section If I literally have never had a job, because right now I am compensating for the absolute lack of work experience with Cloud Projects..

You will likely get loads of errors when trying to deploy SAM if you do not also add further permissions. For me, I just added the following inline permissions JSON: { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AllowApplicationInsightsActions", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "applicationinsights:CreateApplication", "applicationinsights:DescribeApplication" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:applicationinsights:us-east-1:211125595032:application/resource-group/*" ] }, { "Sid": "AllowResourceGroupActions", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "resource-groups:CreateGroup", "resource-groups:Tag", "resource-groups:GetGroup", "resource-groups:GetGroupQuery" ], "Resource": "*" } ] }

Great infos

Can you run the script again this year and provide results in reddit :)

So infrastructure as code basically streamlines servers so that you can run your whole infrastructure on any system? For example it would be easy to install new environments by understanding the whole infrastructure.

Really good series. Do you a repository in GitHub with the script and templates used in this project? It would be really helpful

what is your opinion on wgu's cloud computing bachelor's degree program?

Great

This was very helpful. I am a realtor and looking to get into the cloud practitioner sales role..I believe it is possible. Thanks

Is it worth considering OpenTofu instead of Terraform?

Can you get a job as a more senior person in this field ?

Currently Failing to deploy the updates, saying that access is denied

most of the time i wont make it to screening if i say as an architect i dont code

Do we still need to read books to know the insights in the era of Chatgpt ?

If you had to build 3 different projects only that will give you an enterprise-grade like experience, what would they be? MERN project perhaps?

Scrum master is that 6 figures :3

great info

Sorry guys but am completely lost here, what's the CLI you using there....think that part kinda skipped me..

Wow. This is disturbing. Smh they should stick to what we got our certification in and that needs to be our role. Thank you for this information. 😊

do you have a video on the difference between cloud architect vs solution architect?

A video like this in 2024 in a LIVE setting with users asking questions would be a good idea. Just saying

38:45 can you make a full video regarding this subject here. So after you applied for a job for lets say cloud engineer etc on linkedin, then you go to the company page > employee section (all on linkedin/+ any other possible ways) and message 2-5 employees with the job title you applied for. And what is a good copy and paste message you can possibly send to start of the conversation with plus to also see who responds back. Shittt maybe you can also try messaging the hiring manager too. This would be awesome if you can do a step by step video like once a week. I wouldn't mind being part of it soon, as the guinea pig of attempt to transfer from retail to Cloud.

Your content is very unique I gotta say. I am in the middle of transferring from retail to cloud. Still got some hands on labs I want to do before I try to start applying

Great insights..much recommended for people who are trying to figure out the skills they need to acquire, a big thumbs up.

So where is the Network Engineer? Who takes care of routers, Switches and Firewalls?
