In my current project, we’re facing unexpected cloud costs. Before we proceed, I want to know who should rework the architecture for efficiency and who should make the technical adjustments in the system?

While both roles focus on cloud computing, their responsibilities and scope differ.

Here’s the difference between a Cloud Architect and a Cloud Engineer:

Aspect Cloud Architect Cloud Engineer
Role Designs the overall cloud architecture and strategy Implements and manages cloud solutions and services
Focus High-level design, planning, and strategy Hands-on implementation, maintenance, and monitoring
Skills Strong knowledge in cloud services, solution design Expertise in cloud platforms, development, and automation
Responsibilities Building scalable, cost-effective cloud systems Deploying, managing, and supporting cloud environments
Experience Level Requires extensive experience in architecture Can be entry-level to senior with practical experience

In short, while a cloud architect focuses on designing the cloud infrastructure, a cloud engineer ensures its implementation and maintenance.
