What I Actually Do
I configure AWS.
I configure VPCs. I configure subnets. I configure security groups. I configure IAM roles.
I configure EC2. I configure S3. I configure RDS. I configure Lambda. I configure ECS or EKS. I configure API Gateway. I configure load balancers.
I configure monitoring, logging, backup, scaling, and deployment pipelines.
I define environments. I set cloud policies. I design network zones. I configure access. I select managed services. I create infrastructure templates.
I coordinate with developers, DevOps teams, security teams, database teams, testing teams, and operations teams.
This is important work. But important work is not the same as architecture.
