This is amazing.
Loved the parts where you added videos of you actually working and figuring stuff out.
You're a godsend Ilyas

Thank you for the video iLyas. Do you think there is high demand for Infrastructure architects, is that job role recognized as much as solutions architect?

[whiteFx]

What kind of personal projects can u do to show ur skills as a Cloud Infra Architect ?
Do you have to design a large scale system from scratch by urself ?
Can u elaborate on this point please ?

[adeeljaved]

Do I have to be an initial software developer to become AWS Solution or Infrastructure? I'm on IT for the last 10 years.

Do you feel it's harder to move back to a hands-on implementation role like CIA the longer you stay in a customer facing role like CSA?

Please share the how to get prepare TOGAF ppt

[kanwalsingh]

The path to take the Solutions Architect or Infra Architect as suggested by you has cleared my confusion of how to step forward as am lying in step 2 and 3 rights and few of the certification I have already done only TOGAF is left which I am planning to do after becoming Technical Architect . Please suggest I am on correct way..

Why some companies are hiring fresh graduates for solutions architect and infrastructure architect, it seems like they've skipped three steps?

[MrDomenic]

Could we take this video and translate the CIA role to a Cloud Application Architecture role, but with the application-flavored version of it?

SA will come up with a solution to sell, but the CIA (Cloud Infra Architect) will actually create the right solution after doing discovery again. hahaha
Sorry, CIA here. :)
