I have 10 years of experience. Mostly in Unix, C++ and Visual C++ and MS SQL. I developed interest in cloud computing as like many others and was able to clear AWS Cloud Practitioner, AWS Solution Architect Associate and Professional, AWS Security. Along with these I was able to clear 8 Azure certifications as well: 3 fundamentals, Azure Security, Azure Developer, Azure DevOps and Azure Architect.
Now my main question, can I try to switch on Cloud Architect or some other similar cloud roles?

You have put on a lot of hard work. Update these certification details in your linkedin profile. That should do.
For an Architect role, most organization expects some years of experience as an Architect. But no harm in trying, few orgs do recruit ppl for their knowledge.
Another way is to join as a cloud engineer and climb the way up to a cloud architect.

I don't have project experience on cloud but I did lots of hands on during the preparation for certifications. Also, I am more inclined towards AWS.
Can I pull it through for any AWS role?
Seeking you help and guidance. Please comment.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much for your reply. And yeah, I can start from somewhere like Cloud engineer. But then question stands again, with my 10 yeo, do they consider a fresher for such role? Or shall I fake it?

Personally I know people from test background who had completed the AWS certification and have secured position as cloud architect. But I would suggest not to. Try your best with actual profile. Given the amount of certifications you have, I don't think you need to fake it.

Please note that companies gain credentials having certified ppl in their org. So you are more of a asset to any company that you are gonna join.
