# Cloud Architect Resume

Templates for cloud architects, solutions architects, and cloud engineers at Indian tech companies.

## Key Points
- Every major Indian IT company uses ATS — your cloud expertise means nothing if the system can't parse it.
- AWS/Azure/GCP certifications are the first keywords recruiters search for.
- Architecture diagrams don't belong on resumes — describe your designs in bullet points.
- Multi-column layouts break ATS parsing. Keep it single-column, like a well-structured CloudFormation template.

## What to Include
- Cloud certifications: AWS SAA/SAP, Azure Solutions Architect, GCP Professional
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi
- Cost optimization achievements with dollar/rupee amounts
- Migration projects with scale metrics
- Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud experience

## Common Mistakes
- Not specifying which cloud platforms you've worked with
- Missing certification details
- Not quantifying cost savings or performance improvements
- Listing technologies without context of how they were used
- Ignoring security and compliance aspects of cloud work
