Thanks for watching! 😊 Please give this video a like if you found it helpful. 👍 Some AWS services/tools that involve code: AWS Lambda, AWS CDK, AWS CodePipeline. If you currently don't know a programming language, don't let that stop you from starting your cloud learning journey / becoming a Solutions Architect! You can fill in the gaps and learn on-the-job.
Hey needing some advice. New to IT and just enrolled into a cloud administrator program, was wondering if I will struggle in class due to not knowing anything in IT just needing some help
I actually learned cloud computing AWS first just out of interest 😂. Then I couldn’t stop obsessing over it. Then I learned coding, general software development, and then data science/ML/AI. I actually work in the biopharmaceutical industry xD. I just love Lucy! Her contents the best around in terms of best learning resources, Quality, and just drive. It’s so inspiring!! Awesome content as usual!! 🙂
Thank you Lucy! You have unlocked some mystery behind becoming a Solutions Architect Associate with AWS. I'm just starting my AWS journey and have a lot of questions and your videos are helping to answer so many of them! I appreciate your hard work in helping us and look forward to more content by you! Cheers and thanks!
Hey Lucy! I'm a fellow L5 Amazonian. This is a great channel!!! I would love a video where you go through salaries at AWS for entry levels and for each promotion. Would be interesting to compare to corporate roles in Amazon. Is the pay structure the same 🤔. Would also be useful for recent grads/interns.
Thank you Lucky for taking your time to answer this question. Surprisingly enough, I've been trying to find out an answer to the question ever since I started my journey in the cloud. God bless you❤
Honestly, quite surprised with the answer. Even with all the services coding is still the core and glues all the pieces together. And there is quite a big difference between theory and practice after all
I'm very surprised as well. In order to make alot of services intergrate together, you need lambda which requires coding. Yes several core services like EC2, VPC, and route 53 doesn't require programming. Services that would benefit knowing coding for lambda would be stuff like ELB, cloudwatch, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB. There's plenty more that can integrate with it.
If you have a cloud support engineer, devops role.. then learning json, yaml, bash, and powershell is very useful. Being a solutions architect might not go deep into the actual deployment and sysadmin type tasks, which is the heart of getting a clients application/environment manageable, scalable/resilient, and helps when building out CI/CD through cloudformation/puppet/codepipline/lambda, etc.
Hi Lucy, thank you for providing useful resources to gain practical skills in cloud computing. I'd like to give AWS solutions architect associate exam to gain expertise for entry level position in this emerging field.
Hi Lucy, hope you are doing great. Something on the compensation structure for these associate/prof level SA jobs would be highly appreciated,if you do get the time.
Love the channel just found it this week! I'm new to aws, working on my entry-level practitioner certification right now. Is there any jobs you can get with the practitioner cert or is it too entry level?
Thank you Mam, You made my Day, I was in a dilemma to take up the Architect role, but after seeing your video I am confident of being a Cloud Architect. :)
So I actually wound up here by looking up how centralized the internet has become with AWS (and similar cloud services) I guess I'd like to know your thoughts on this centralization! Personally I am not a fan, but understand it can be the more economical option especially at scale, but the company I worked at did everything in house, and it works reasonably well. What do you see as being common drivers for a company to move from doing things in house to off site, and what (if anything) do you reccomend to keep companies running on their premises?
You just lifted a huge weight off my shoulder omfg I can't thank you enough for this video. I'm a CS student striving to get AWS certified and my goal is to become a cloud engineer. I graduate after this fall and my coding skills are not strong, and I just started acloud guru to get certified by the time I graduate. Thank you again for this clarifying video!
The main problem is Cloud Engineer varies from company to company. At AWS SA and Cloud Engineers do not code, it’s out of their scope. However it will help you a lot if you do know how as most people asking for help will be developers.
@@Alimboi I think it still varies by team or org you service, tenured colleagues I have asked say they don't really code. However, everyone on the proserve side says they do.
@@eli-sv nope, its rough out here. Every major tech company has hiring freezes and small companies are looking for 5 years of experience with 5 cloud certs and 5 specialized certs lol
It takes years of hard work to earn the respect of an architect. Paper skills are good but it takes a lot of knowledge and understanding of systems to have the courage and confidence to stand by your design and recommendations. Architecting in AWS is 10 percent about using aws and 90 percent about how your system will be built. You need a strong background in software engineering and systems design to an architect in general. Of course you can be nice and cute in front of customers and understand nothing about the systems they are trying to deploy.
Thank you lucy... please send me links where to start with zero knowledge. A good place to learn, money is not the issue but knowledge. Thank you once again.
Thank you so much Lucy for this Life time opportunity. I Have learned Aws to be a cloud practitioner but I have not written the exam because I am still struggling to raise money to pay for it. Thank you so much for this opportunity.
I would like to operate small devices like lights, fans, sensors or cameras in the AWS IoT cloud as part of my project. I went through AWS IoT core AWS analytics and AWS Quicksight and can now monitor temperature sensor data through Quicksight. But how can I on/off devices or monitor through cameras with the help of AWS IoT.
Hey Lucy, I have one question It is possible for a software developer to transition to cloud computing but can vice versa be also possible since SD requires coding skills, something which is not an essential skill for cloud?
Love your videos. I am a beginner on this cloud environment and very confuse on how to proceed with a career in that path when my career has been dealt with the service management area. Dealing with critical incidents , situations and gathering all resources to resolve the issue.
HI lucky great video again, My question is how do you modify your resume after obtaining AWS Practitioner And Solution Archtecht Certs to appeal to companies for a Solutions job, and also is it better to be a cloud engineer first?
So glad to see a woman so intelligent posting this kind of content, in an environment that is still so masculine! But little by little we are changing this scenario, keep doing your great work
We men didn't get this role by birth. I am working 10 hours as a developer and squeezing in 2 more hours everyday trying to pass the certificate exam. At the end, it's about individual effort, not society nor organization.
@@TechwithLucy it’s associate level for proserve SA role. Stand for Accelerate to Consultant, helps people without solid technical or AWS background. It gives 1 year of hand holding basically. The total compensation is capped at 190k though.
As a former SA at AWS the short answer is Yes. AWS provides APIs. while you can have experience as a technical architect in providing guidance the clearest path to success is actually using the product. This includes programming against the APIs to assist your customers.
The services might need coding but that's not a Solution Architect's role. Of all the AWS Solution Architect Associate courses I've taken, I haven't heard any trainer mention the need for a Solution Architect to code- that's a developer or engineer's role.
A solution architect should know them to give better solutions. Yes you can do it without any coding, but knowing coding and actually using the services gives you the upper hand to become a better solution architect.
Hello lucy. Thanku for all the information... I have small doubt can we get remote jobs in AWS.. I am the only child of my parents and cant leave them alone at this point.. Working in KPO (Non technical)industary.. Please let me know your views before i start my preparation for AWS.. Pls
Been studying all week! I was in IT but I feel like my brain can’t absorb the process like when I was in my 20s. Doing about an hours or so a day. Any suggestions?
Hello Lucy.... I am Learning AWS (SA) with DevOps and after completing this .How can I get a job ? And What is the process of recruiting? I Hope you will make a Video on this❤.....
Hi Lucy, I having been learning AWS for the 2-3 months and following your videos ,thanks much for your insights. Could you please provide some help in how to start learning networking as it play one of the important role.
Coming from a networking background, I would recommend trying to learn the fundamentals. A vendor agnostic introductory approach would be the CompTIA network+ certification and any supplemental study resources. I used CBTnuggets when I studied for it. Good luck! Though if you decide you really want to get a networking cert it’s also worth looking into the CCNA instead. It will hold more weight on your resume and I believe the most recent changes made to the exam makes it a little more approachable. Online courses or resources for either of these certs will provide you with the foundational understanding you’re after.
Amazing video, to the point Thank you so much Lucy✨ Just had a question If I’m planning to learn coding along side which language should it be? Java or Python or Go for AWS in general Thanks 😊
I am AWS certified solutions architect.. But here in India i am not able to find any job specifically for SAA.. All jobs require DevOps and scripting knowledge... Can you guide me... I am planning to go for AWS SAP
"I am from an IBM i-series technology background, utilizing RPGLE, CLLE, SQLRPGLE. If I start the AWS Solution Architect Associate course, will it be beneficial for my career? Please advise."
Which degree is appropriate for landing in cloud ☁️ industry? Is "Bachelor in computer application" is good enough to get job in cloud industry? And make a video on skills require to to get job in cloud . Your videos are very helpful.....thank you so much.
Hello, Lucy! How are you doing? I am a student of System Analysis and Development here in Brazil, i want to make the first certification(Cloud Practioner) and i pretend to follow by the architect way. Can i get a job of Solutions Architect by getting throug the second level(Associate)? Thank you!
Hey Lucy what roles did you apply for internships? I am looking for SA internships in LinkedIn but there no internships. Could please what roles did u apply for internships.
I have completed training of AWS solutions Architect and i am from non technical background. I trying for job in AWS solutions Architect field though I get lots of call from different companies but all required 6 to 7 years of experience. How can I get a job in AWS solutions Architect as a fresher
Thanks for this information.. i have recently completed AWS solution architect associate level certification course from AWS .. can you please suggest on how to prepare for interview and get job ..
Thanks a lot for this video Lucy. I have had 12 years of software development experience, and later quit that as I wanted to move completely out of programming/development. I'm now targeting AWS administration or architect roles. I'm no longer in touch with software development, will it become a problem for me?
Software development isn’t a requirement for AWS admin / architect roles! 😊 It’s a preferred qualification sometimes - but not required. Having knowledge of Networking, compute, database, storage and security is more important
I just completed Solution Architect Associate certification. I wanted to know What are the career opportunities after AWS certification ? inside and outside of AWS
Even i passed in April..and i think we don't get job opportunities for AWS only..we only get opportunities as DevOps engineer..and i am stuck with scripting which is no way related to SAA
Hi Lucy, Akash from Melbourne here. Really find your videos helpful as I'm a uni student just really good content in general. Currently taking stephans Udemy course however I'm finding there's just so many services and details to remember and got my wondering how you watched all the theory and remembered the content because all the small details he mentions seem to be important for the exam. Did you ever take notes or spider diagrams or anything. Worried it'll be a waste of time building them but just find myself guessing answers in the prac quizzes. Feeling a little pressure as its so impressive how you learnt it in 3 weeks honestly. How did you learn all the small details. Could you do a general video on this?
Hi Akash, definitely take your time with the certification study, no rush to get it done in 3 weeks! My next video will be on “how I study for aws certifications” ☺️
Respectfully I'm going to have to disagree on this one. The cloud allows software engineers to focus almost solely on the application layer, which is convenient for the rate of development. However, this does not always result in the best product. I know it's a controversial opinion, but in my honest opinion, non coding architects tend to fit a problem to a solution instead of fitting a solution to a problem. As a software engineer, this has ultimately resulted in multiple teams that I've been having to redesign a solution due to the outcome of the original one being less than ideal. Again, no hate, but in my personal experience I've found that the best systems architects almost always have a large amount of experience actually writing code for applications. The reason being is that understanding some of the granular implementation details aid you in better understanding some of the consequences of your design decisions.
Can anyone give me an advice? I'm studying international business and my university told me "do you want AWS educate for free?" and I answered "yeah, why not?". I have some interest in coding, maybe Phyton, and things like that, apart from the fact that in my career I need to know a little bit of everything. So my concern is: is possible to get AWS certs in 2.5 years or i should focus just in something? Thank you in advance.
Hi Lucy, I want to ask something about aws sa internship jobs . Did you get any salary when you were working ? Thanks in advance Lucy, you are gorgeous

I have some interest in coding, maybe Phyton, and things like that, apart from the fact that in my career I need to know a little bit of everything. So my concern is: is possible to get AWS certs in 2.5 years or i should focus just in something?
Thank you in advance.
Definitely possible in 2.5 years - aws educate is a good resource. Probably also use AWS Skill builder
@@TechwithLucy Thank you for your answer. I will do my best.
Any recommendations, Books for beginners.
Not a book but I’d recommend the AWS Skillbuilder platform - free video courses
