A Cloud Architect (or cloud architect) is responsible for managing an organization's cloud architecture. Cloud services are programs and platforms that “live” and work on the servers of cloud providers. Their main advantage is access to information stored on them from any gadget anywhere in the world. Using cloud services is not only convenient, but also safe. Even if something happens to your phone or computer, the data will not disappear.

The cloud architecture covers everything related to these services: software platforms, servers, storage and networks. And the cloud architect needs to be able to set up all of this to work efficiently and orderly, as well as properly cluster and host company information.
