AWS Academy Cloud Architecting covers the fundamentals of building IT infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The course is designed to teach solutions architects how to optimize the use of the AWS Cloud by understanding AWS services and how these services fit into cloud-based solutions. Because architectural solutions can differ depending on industry, type of applications, and size of business, this course emphasizes best practices for the AWS Cloud, and it recommends various design patterns to help you think through the process of architecting optimal IT solutions on AWS. It also presents case studies throughout the course, which showcase how some AWS customers have designed their infrastructures, and the strategies and services that they implemented. Finally, this course also provides opportunities to build a variety of infrastructures via a guided, hands-on approach. This course helps you to prepare for the AWS Certified Solution Architect - Associate exam.

This course satisfies 3 credit hours at Arizona State University. It is strongly encouraged that you consult with your institution of choice to determine how these credits will be applied to their degree requirements prior to transferring your credit.

Cloud computing architecture refers to the components and subcomponents required for cloud computing. These components typically consist of a front end platform, back end platforms, a cloud-based delivery, and a network. Combined, these components make up cloud computing architecture. Cloud solutions design is based on architectural procedures and methods that have been developed over the last 20 or so years.

A Cloud Architect is responsible for converting the technical requirements of a project into the architecture and design that will guide the final product. Often, Cloud Architects are also responsible for bridging the gaps between complex business problems and solutions in the cloud. Other members of a technology team, including DevOps engineers and developers, work with the Cloud Architect to ensure that the right technology or technologies are being built.

If you are thinking of becoming a Cloud Architect, you will ideally already have a strong background in cloud computing or a similar technical area. If you feel comfortable with most of the following concepts or at least some of them, then you are probably on the right track. Otherwise, I would recommend some initial study or work in these areas before you tackle the Cloud Architect role.

Microsoft Azure is the fastest growing cloud provider for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers. A few companies that are using Azure include Adobe, Apple iCloud, Ebay, Travelocity, Samsung, Xerox, the NFL, and NBC. Become a certified Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect, and then search through the thousands of available Azure Cloud Architect positions.

With customers including Target, PayPal, 20th Century Fox, and Twitter, Google Cloud Platform is a suite of cloud computing services that runs on the same infrastructure that Google uses internally for its end-user products. As a Professional Cloud Architect, you can check out the Google Cloud Solution Architect positions.

There are no formal educational requirements to become a cloud architect. However, you should have a solid understanding of cloud computing, including the various cloud deployment models, cloud service models, and cloud deployment architectures. You should also have a good understanding of the cloud service provider market, including the various cloud service providers and their offerings.

The cloud architect is responsible for designing and implementing cloud computing solutions. This includes designing the cloud infrastructure, designing the cloud application architecture, and designing the cloud security architecture.

The Google Cloud Architect certification is a difficult certification to obtain. It requires a solid understanding of cloud computing, including the various cloud deployment models, cloud service models, and cloud deployment architectures.

If you are thinking of becoming a Cloud Architect, you will ideally already have a strong background in cloud computing or a similar technical area. You should also have good knowledge of at least one operating system and a basic understanding of networking, security and computer programming languages as well as flexibility, eagerness to learn and good time management and communication skills.

Undertaking this cloud computing certification has been there in my bucket list since 2017. I started with a Udemy course around that time, but never really saw it through. As the old proverb says, "necessity is the mother of invention". Finally, I reached a point where understanding the cloud infrastructure in-depth was absolutely necessary for various reasons listed below.

1. DevOps as a function started reporting to me in early 2022. Over time, I realized that I had a very superficial idea of the AWS services.
2. The lack of knowledge created 2 problems. First, I found it difficult to mentor and lead a team. Second, I found it difficult to hire the right people. Unless I know what skills to look for, how am I supposed to get the right person for my team?
3. And finally redundancy. We are a small team and when the DevOps engineer(s) go on leave, someone has to be on call to ensure that all our services are monitored and are running smoothly.

I have used free tier for a year to play around with some services. This was long back. At my job at Avegen , I have had (superficial) hands-on experience with EC2, Route 53, ACM, ALB, RDS, OpenSearch, EBS etc. - pretty much everything you can expect from managing a three-tier web architecture.

Well, it certainly becomes easier to understand the services when learning. The things that you have hands-on becomes easier to grasp and you can correlate with what you have done. There is an insane amount of information to ingest about various services. Unless you understand the concepts, it becomes a process of rote learning which is not what we want. So yes, I would certainly recommend getting the free tier for a few months and checking out what AWS provides.

• I booked my exam centre appointment 50 days from the day I decided to get the certification. If you have decided on studying for the certification, the first thing I would recommend is to set a date. It just means the clock has started ticking. Quite literally!

• Remove all distractions: Goes without saying, remove those social media apps from your phone. Being away from these apps for 50 days helped me break my muscle memory of tapping the app icon and going back to these apps every half an hour.

• Do research on study materials: There is a ton of material out there. Notes prepared by people who have passed the exam already, videos on YouTube, Udemy courses, practice exams and so on.

Well, this has been a learning technique since my days of medicine. A day before the exam, there is no way you can complete reading the whole PDF. Instead quickly glance through the important points you had underlined once. It definitely helps in revising critical points in the last few days.

I found the TutorialsDojo practice exams are tougher. I failed most of the initial exams I took. Gradually the score improved and I started passing the practice exams. Both Udemy and Tutorials Dojo combined, I took 11 practice tests.

I decided to take the exam at a Pearson VUE centre. The exam is definitely NOT a cake walk. All the questions are scenario based (as expected). Completing the practice exams definitely helps. Time wasn't a challenge for me. I was able to complete going through all the questions with about 30 minutes left. I had flagged around 15 questions for review. And after deciding on the answers for the ones flagged under review, I submitted the test with 8 minutes left on the clock. The exam definitely requires a lot of attention, I was left with a pounding headache after the submission.

• The exam is a process of elimination. Eliminate the wrong ones first.
• Sometimes you might feel that all the options are correct. All options might be technically feasible. If you are choosing a very complex solution with multiple moving parts, it's definitely not the right answer. Finally if in doubt go back to the well architected framework. The solution proposed must best reflect the 6 pillars of AWS well architected framework.

A few posts from Reddit suggested that one has to wait anywhere between 3 hours to 24 hours (or more in some cases) for the results. After refreshing my AWS account dashboard and Credly dashboard every 5 minutes like a maniac, I finally got my credly badge the next day afternoon. And I received a score of 863.
