The Cloud Networking Architect designs, deploys, and supports large cloud environments. The individual must proactively provide technical support in areas, such as network automation, software-defined networks (SDN), VPN, local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), network security platforms, and load-balancing technologies within cloud architectures.

Architects must evaluate, reexamine, and hone proposals and designs for network architecture and interact with third-party architects to customize designs when decisions are taken. They must interact cross-functionally to improve the cloud infrastructure.
