If you are considering becoming a Cloud Architect, ideally you will already have solid experience in cloud computing or a similar technical area. If you are comfortable with most of the following concepts or at least some of them, you are probably on the right track. If not, I would recommend an initial study or work in these areas before taking on the role of Cloud Architect.
Good
knowledge of at least one operating system: Linux, Unix, Solaris, Ubuntu,
Windows. My preference is any Linux operating system (for example, Ubuntu or
Red Hat), but previous experience as an administrator or architect in any of
the well-known operating systems is also helpful.
Good
knowledge of networking: TCP / IP, IP addresses, HTTP, DNS. I suggest
familiarizing yourself with these concepts before embarking on a role as a
cloud architect.
Computer
programming languages: at least a minimum knowledge of a programming or
scripting language is required. This is probably not a must, but it will
definitely help.
Security:
Cloud security is important, and as a result, a high-level understanding of key
security concepts is a must for a cloud architect. So a first understanding of
some basic security concepts, such as firewalls, is needed.
The
above list is by no means exhaustive. The point is, you will need a solid
technical background if you are considering becoming a Cloud Architect. Cloud
