How do I transition from IT Support Specialist to Cloud Solutions Architect.? I am currently preparing AWS certification for cloud architect. What else do I need to do in order to achieve position in any company with no experience of cloud architect.?! Also have decent salary. On that point what can I expect in terms of work pressure and compensation.?! Please help.

This is a very open ended question. First of all the certs do help a lot yes but understanding how to look at a customer architecture and provide accurate recommendations is a must. There are great youtube videos on that. Also look into Well architected framework and what it means.

Look up videos on what CSA's do and what they look for when working with customers. The last part is you are very unlikely to get a bad salary as a CSA but not sure what your salary expectations are.

What is the YouTube series you were recommending?
