Overview
Cloud architects may also be involved in legal areas of cloud computing by negotiating contracts and working alongside legal and procurement departments. Architects ensure service-level agreement requirements are met.
Most cloud architect jobs require a technical Bachelor of Science degree -- such as computer science, engineering or mathematics -- and some companies prefer a Master of Science. Additional certifications, both vendor specific and vendor neutral, may be necessary.
