How best you can utilize this role as efficient IT Management practitioner ?

Many organizations use the role of Cloud Architect for DevOps Practices also in small to mid size IT Organizations or departments.

But in reality if the organizations want to implement effectively and efficiently the Cloud migrations, they need to dedicate the Cloud Architect role as per the standards.

In 2017, Gartner published on Cloud Architect role with many activities along with the required skills. We may not be able to use the entire activities related to this role. But there are some mandated activities we can use them in regular business.

I have extracted some of the important points where in the current trend the IT Management practitioners can utilize them and see the differentiation from your past executions on this role. A discussion video is attached below for your perusal.

Finally, I would say you are mandated to separate this role from DevOps Activities assigning and dedicate the role for;

Cloud Infrastructure Planning,
Designing,
Building and
implementing effectively for business needs

So many burning issues related to DevOps and Cloud can be separated and resolved faster to move forward. This way many risks can be reduced!!

If you are an IT management practitioner; and would like to get any clarifications to implement these practices you are advised to contact me on FB and have a call.
