    I got trained in AWS but i didn't get a job coz no one was hiring a less experience guy. So i switched to another field. After 2 years when i see this video, i got goosebumps. I too had a dream of becoming solution architect but that dream never became reality.

      That's the problem with "Architect" level IT professionals. Nobody wants to hire 2nd-tier Architect. So the strategy is to work in the AREA you want to be the "Architect" as a non-Architect then when you're are a good non-Architect, then you suddenly become the Architect.

      I recommend A Cloud Guru course, it is 18 to 22 hour video training, I've watched twice during last year vacations, read a recent Sybex book (released Oct/16) which you can find in Amazon.com and some good time doing labs within AWS, lots of hours will help learn the concepts, have a feeling of how technologies fit together (A Cloud Guru has lots of labs, also AWS documentation has several step-by-step docs). And to be update with exam contents, check the exam blueprint, read and know the white papers on Well Architecture, Security and Store. Good luck and success on this road.

      As far as I can see, AWS would be the cert that comes directly from taking the AWS Solutions Architect exam while the other seems generic and maybe includes questions regarding Azure and others? There is also the AWS Cloud Practitioner, so that is a separate, more general entry level cert if that's what you're referring to in comparison?

      Not quite. It's a focus more on design, planning, and implementation, hence the "Architect" part of the piece.
      Less of a focus on the ongoing maintenance and support aspect, as that would tend to be done by other teams (Managed Support etc.). It's more about planning, and bringing existing workloads into the cloud, and making them much more efficient, while controlling or improving cost. Cloud engineers are more about the ongoing maintenance and support aspect, but it is a very broad definition, so can't really be constrained too much. There is overlap.
