Understanding cybersecurity in the cloud is one of the biggest needs in the industry. If you are newer to cyber it’s great place, as I have noticed a lot of people who come from a traditional security side have a hard time adjusting because of the differences. Azure, AWS and GCP are all great areas to start. I would recommend learning to build in the cloud first and understanding how to deploy with governance and security in mind. From there it is pretty easy to transition.

Your long term goal should be architect (role) but you have a specialization within that field. Mine is blue team.
To become a really good architect you should work across a variety of security projects. I used to spend about 2-3 years in a security section before bouncing to the next section.
That laid an amazing foundation for my role and skills.
