Cloud Architecture is not as easy as content creators make it often look
There’s a lot more to being a professional cloud Solutions Architect than running an EC2 instance 🤷🏻♂️
That’s why I built The ⚔️ Guild
We help you deliver in your Solutions Architect role at the highest level
Inside The ⚔️ Guild, we’re a group of Solutions Architects running experiments in tandem. Not only does The ⚔️ Guild allows you to solve problems faster, but you also get the benefit of learning from the results of others.
If you’re serious about your Solutions Architect career, The ⚔️ Guild was made for you.
We help members of The Guild excel in their cloud career by offering production ready, battle-tested ready-to-deploy solutions, and reference architectures you can use to solve cloud problems efficiently
We work together to explore new approaches, strategies, solutions, and collaborations to help you do just that.
Hey, iLyas here. The ⚔️ Guild is where I’m investing the majority of my time and attention outside creating new content.
Truth is… There is an abundance of content out there, but free content is not always enough. Free content sometimes makes us feel overwhelmed and confused.
Because free content will tell you all the things you need to do, but it can’t tell you the most important part: How to do it!
So I created The Guild so that I could invest more time and effort into the professionals who invest their time with me and my work.
But I can’t help you become a professional creator with a pre-recorded course. I can’t help you transition to the Cloud Solutions Architect role with a single course, either.
Becoming a cloud professional creator requires a lot of skills, mini-projects, and above all – time.
The best way for me to support you on that journey is through an ongoing relationship.
A place where I can share what I’m learning (including the changing landscape) for months, if not years.
That means that inside The Guild, I’m extremely active in the forum and in direct messages. I host live sessions each week, including open Office Hours and 1:1 member Hot Seats.
I also create and curate the best training resources I can to help you build your resume and body of work.
The Guild is where I’m able to personalize my experience and insight to you and your specific situation, and I love it.
And even better – it’s a space for us all to learn together in real time.
Do you remember high school sports? I ran track in high school and played soccer – there was a LOT of training involved in both.
The great thing about organized sports is that you have a coach. You have teammates. And your coach and your teammates all not only hold you accountable, but push you to go beyond your comfort zone and reach your potential.
Working alone, we often lack the discipline to push ourselves.
Whether you want to pass certifications, improve the quality of your solutions, or both – The Guild provides the accountability and push you need to achieve your potential and leverage the best of your abilities.
Feedback is a gift. Especially when it comes from mentors and peers who truly understand what you’re trying to achieve.
The feedback you receive inside The Guild is high-quality, honest, and empathetic. It’s important that we are real and direct with one another, but we also deliver tough feedback with kindness.
Each week, I host an open Office Hours session for you to receive feedback from me directly. And several times per month, I also open up my calendar to Hot Seats, which are recorded 1:1 coaching conversations right inside the community.
Think of The Guild as a shared knowledge hub.
Every move we make for our career is motivated by a hypothesis and a desired outcome – imagine if we all shared those assumptions and goals with each other!
That’s the goal of the Experiments space.
The best way we can help each other grow faster is by running hundreds of simultaneous experiments and sharing the results.
You are an awesome person in this technical community Your content is candid and very helpful for aspiring
Access to our community forum and our real-time chat app
Between weekly Tech Fikas, and monthly Live Q&As, you can receive 1:1 coaching from me
Immediate, full access to all past (and future) resources & courses
Reference Architectures and well documented ready-to-deploy cloud solutions
Feedback on your solutions from cloud experts and peers who truly understand what you’re trying to achieve
Live study sessions for cloud certifications with cloud experts who been there and done that
Every member of The Guild is busy. Every single one of us.
The Guild is designed to be a resource, not a task.
Of course, if you spend time leveraging the resources (Reference Architectures, Live Q&As, Workshops, etc.) you will get the most out of it. But if you simply use The Guild as a place to get inspiration, bust through roadblocks, or solicit feedback on solutions, you’re going to get a lot out of it.
Most members tell me within weeks of joining that they’ve already gotten their money’s worth.
You don’t have to dedicate hours per week to The Guild …but I bet you’ll choose to spend more time inside than you think.
