1. Cloud Architecture : 
Cloud Architecture, as name suggests, is basically process of designing and planning various projects or tasks. Cloud architect identifies and correct problem, create operating procedures, etc., so they should have good knowledge of operating system, good understanding of networking, know about programming languages, etc. 

2. Cloud Engineering :
Cloud Engineering, as name suggests, is basically process of managing, planning, architectonic, and monitoring cloud systems. Cloud engineer simply provide documentation that define design of their systems and also ensures that cloud-based systems and programs are secure or not by testing systems.

Difference between Cloud Architecture and Cloud Engineering :

Cloud Architecture

Cloud Engineering

It is a process of designing cloud-based servers and systems to meet customer requirements.  It is a process of designing systems that are necessary to increase power and economics of cloud resources simply to solve business problems.  
They generally design and implement enterprise solutions.   They generally operate, monitor, maintain and manage enterprise solutions.  
Cloud architect focuses on both technical and business requirements.   Cloud engineer only focuses on technical requirements rather than business requirements.  
They are responsible for how to design Kubernetes cluster i.e., set of node machines for running containerized applications to fulfill customer demands or requirements.   They are responsible to run jobs, deployments, services, etc., on cluster and are more focused on monitoring cluster along with measuring and maintaining its performance.  
There main responsibilities include leading cultural change for cloud adoption, developing and coordinating cloud architecture, developing cloud strategy, and coordinating adaption process.   There main responsibilities include managing cloud environments as per company security guidelines, deploying and debugging cloud initiatives, designing cloud software, performing technical duties associated with cloud computing.  
They focus on creating system designs.   They ensure that whether architects have properly designed cloud-based services or not.
It is more focused towards future, plan and design strategies and system to meet both customer and business requirements.   They are more focused towards day-to-day managing, monitoring and maintenance.  
Its advantages include greater accessibility, scalability and flexibility, automatic updates and vendor supports, lower costs, greater freedom to developers, etc.   Its advantages include perform technical duties, support applications on cloud, write codes for server-less applications, flexibility, etc.
