  • Looking to figure out which cloud role is right for you? In this video I cover some of the main cloud roles, how to build a learning plan, and cover some of the gotcha's, and mistakes to avoid as

    ▶ A PRACTICAL START WITH CLOUD / AWS
    I highly recommend Stephen Mareeks AWS courses. If you’re a total beginner I recommend the “Certified Cloud Practitioner” otherwise the “Associate Developer”. If you plan to take the exam, I also highly recommend Jon Bonso’s practice exams:

    Why I recommend Stephane and Jon’s courses:

    ▶ WRITE A CLOUD RESUME THAT LANDS YOU THE JOB
    There is no better book which explain Tech Hiring and how to write a resume that passes tech screening processes than “The Tech Resume: Inside out”. I am referenced in the book and my review (Twitter) is on the homepage. It’s free if you’re unemployed and is priced based on your location.

    ▶ BUILD YOUR RESUME (AS A PROJECT) USING CLOUD TECHNOLOGY
    The “Cloud Resume Challenge” is a 12 step project. I love the challenge, I’m an active member of the Discord, and I have a whole playlist on RUclips to help you complete the challenge. There is a book (it’s optional), but I strongly recommend it. Get the “Cloud Resume Challenge” book:

    This video reinforces what I've only recently begun to pickup on about this title... First was the big discrepancies between hands on implementation engineers compared to Ivory tower hands off architects that excel in diagramming, multi-cloud cost analysis and report to CEO. Then there's technical architects that may actually be in the engine room flipping some flags or tweaking some configs. Solution architects that basically work on behalf of a company trying to implement their cloud solution into their customer's setup in anyway possible. And then there's the Enterprise Architect or Cloud Architect that works for a company to get them setup with a multi-cloud solution, whatever it takes to meet the company's constraints but they work on the company's cloud setup, as opposed to working with a company's clientele on implementing a solution the company you work for is trying to sell... Which makes all those day in the life videos make much more sense to me as well as all the layoffs of those same people by all the tech companies (with cloud solutions to sell to customers) recently!

What I'll take with me out of it: Avoid distractions and you can always change your direction. Willing to become a cloud architect with the digital transformation role but feel like I must start with the engineering first. I think i know what i would do now. Thanks again.

      But, jokes aside. I do varying video lengths. My rule is that the videos are "as long as they need to be" for this topic, this felt appropriate.
      I'll do more shorter snappier videos with tips, but naturally some folks will then yearn for a longer, more in depth explanation so they have this 😀
