Why Choose to Be a Cloud Architect?
Because as a Cloud Architect, you're truly on Cloud 9!
Okay, that might be a stretch, but stick around for the real (and better) reasons.
Achieving your AWS Certified Solutions Architect certification is an excellent way to transition into tech or elevate your current tech career. It opens the door to highly rewarding job opportunities.
The average salary for an AWS Cloud Architect exceeds $196,000 per year.
That’s right, $196,000! Maybe that “Cloud 9” joke wasn’t so far off, huh?
Additionally, the cloud computing industry is massive—really massive.
AWS isn't the only cloud player; other options include Azure and GCP (Google Cloud Platform). However, AWS holds about 75% of the enterprise cloud market, making it a leading player in a trillion-dollar market.
To clarify: AWS is HUGE.
And with more companies adopting cloud services daily, we are just scratching the surface.
This means you haven't missed the opportunity to start your career in this lucrative, high-demand, and future-proof industry.
With your AWS Solutions Architect certification, you'll be poised to assist companies in designing, developing, and deploying sophisticated cloud technologies.
The Solutions Architect certification also covers a wide range of AWS services, focusing on how to integrate them securely, resiliently, and cost-effectively.
This AWS certification provides a solid foundation for all roles—ideal even if you don't plan to work specifically as a Cloud Architect or Engineer.
Whether you are a Developer or Sysadmin, having this certification will be invaluable.
What Is the AWS Solutions Architect Certification?
AWS certifications set the benchmark for cloud credentials and are recognized worldwide. They help validate your skills and assist potential employers in identifying candidates with specific AWS expertise.
The entry-level Cloud Practitioner certification introduces core concepts, while the Solutions Architect certification builds on that knowledge by applying it in practical contexts.
This AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA) certification covers a broad array of services, including compute, networking, storage, databases, and deployment management.
This sought-after certification enhances your credibility in the industry, boosts your earning potential, and positions you prominently in AWS project opportunities.
