Who’s This Program For?

I was lucky to be part of the alpha launch of the SA Magic program. I was a bit nervous about my interview as an SA, but with the course's videos on how to approach the process at the larger organizations, and iLyas's multiple live sessions, I was able to quell those fears and work on what mattered. Which was learning how to communicate well on the things I have done and how it brought value and aligned to company tenets. I was able to land the position and very happy at my new position. Thank you !

8 Weeks - 6 Modules - 100% Commitment​

What this program will do, is teach you to:

  • Think like a Solutions Architect
  • Talk, Write, and Present like a Solutions Architect
  • Approach problems and solve them like a Solutions Architect
  • Design solutions for quality attributes like security and scalability
  • You’ll learn about the Soft Skills that will make you a great architect
  • We’ll go through various case studies and examine various architectural patterns

And all of it, at the highest level, the FAANG level 💪🏼

I wasn't sure if this course was for me, but I decided to give it a go. I was able to watch the videos at my own pace, and take notes for the live sessions, which really helped.
Being able to have access to iLyas live paid high dividends: he coached about well-architected solutions within AWS and system design for an upcoming set of interviews I had. He gave me some great advice and is very knowledgeable as a solutions architect. I would highly recommend anyone trying to get into cloud computing to utilize his course!

In this module, we’re going to learn about the different available strategies for migrating workloads to the cloud.

Here’s a quick introduction to give you an idea:

Most migration projects use multiple strategies, each with its own set of tools. The migration strategy employed will impact the migration timeline and how applications are grouped during the migration process.

A cloud migration also presents an opportunity to evaluate your overall inventory and remove ghost servers that are running unaccounted for under a developer’s desk.

By the end of this module, you will have gained an understanding of various cloud strategies.

Let’s do this 💪🏼

Together, we'll work through the whole process:

Hey, hi, hello! I’m iLyas – the guy behind the SA Magic, the most complete program for becoming a Cloud Solutions Architect.
 
I have been coaching candidates 1:1 in the last few years, the majority of which have successfully landed jobs at AWS, and GCP as Solutions Architects, and today I decided to bring that knowledge to a wider audience through SA Magic
 
SA Magic contains courses to follow at your own pace, regular live video Q&A sessions, quizzes, 24/7 chat support, Workshops… You absolutely can’t ask for more…
I joined as part of the beta group of the SA Magic program. The content of the course provided me amazing, to the point, and timely advice and I honestly believe it helped me have an edge over my competitors during my AWS interview. I got the offer! Of course, I had to bring a lot to the AWS interview myself, but, I am certain that finishing the course helped push me over the edge!

"I wasn’t sure if I would have the time to complete it and had to justify the price to myself, but I’m glad I signed up because what you put in literally is what you'll get out of this course"

I have been building my business from the ground up using traditional hosting platforms, and I wanted to expand my business beyond just one market. I kept hearing about the cloud, but I didn't know how I would start my migration. Being in a completely different time zone, it was great being able to watch the recordings in my own time and work through the roadmap and the content at my own pace. The community was great, and I paired up with an accountability buddy, and we helped each other throughout the course. I hesitated before joining The Solution Architect Accelerator because I wasn’t sure if I would have the time to complete it and had to justify the price to myself, but I’m glad I signed up because what you put in literally is what you'll get out of this course. And if you put a hundred percent in, you'll have all you need for a successful career change. It has completely changed the way I think about my business!
