This is such a clear explanation of the Solutions Architect role! Thank you!!

[stevenguo]

Solution architect in many cases (in vendors, not in house roles) is another name for solution consultant or solution engineer. It is a customer facing role and mostly responsible for pre-sales work. But in AWS, the SA seems also need to involve in some of the post sales consultant effort to ensure the cloud utilization and adoption rate.

People ask me what is AWS and it's a great time for me to try to explain what it is to someone who has absolutely no idea.

I still suck at it. Lol. I'll get better.

Hi, Lucy can you make a video, of how actually you started preparing and what are the things you have worked on to become a solutions Architect.

[vikaskokae]

Lucy, being at Amazon, which is known as a data driven organisation, as a Solutions Architect do you have deliverable, like code for a developer, that you need to create for every customer project? Something like a document tracing business problem/requirement to design decision to tools/products recommended, which can then shared internally in the organisation or with the external audience. That way, the solution is not contained to just the architect's mind, but open for review, learning and continuous improvement.
