01Cloudinary ingestion, identifiers and asset lifecycle
A media application has an original asset, identifiers and metadata, transformations and delivered representations. Cloudinary’s resource type and delivery type have different roles: an image/video/raw classification is not an access-control decision.
400 words, about 2 min02Image/video transformations, geometry and visual intent
A transformation needs a visual requirement: fit all content, fill a box, crop a region, pad a canvas or avoid upscaling. In a supplied fill-crop arrangement, the requested dimensions define the box while gravity helps choose the retained region.

A hero image, small thumbnail and zoom view can need different dimensions and crops even when they share one source. Delivery transformations can create relevant variants under the supported configuration.
392 words, about 2 min04Media access, restricted sources and processing safety
A public identifier or a hard-to-guess URL is not a complete access policy. Public, private and authenticated delivery arrangements have actual supported original/derived behavior that must be checked.
393 words, about 2 min05HTTP caching and browser media-performance prerequisites
A cache stores a representation under a particular key and applicable policy. Cache-Control directives determine relevant freshness and storage behavior.
383 words, about 2 min06Identity, access and cryptographic protection
This domain tests the identity lifecycle and the mechanisms that turn an identity into an authorised action. Expect questions that separate authentication from authorisation and that ask which access control model fits a scenario.
857 words, about 4 min07Security operations, monitoring and response
This domain is about running security as a repeatable service rather than a series of heroic acts. Questions target process ownership, change control and the operational metrics that show the programme is working.
803 words, about 4 min08Continuity, backup and technical recovery
This domain tests continuity planning: how an organisation keeps critical services running during disruption and how it recovers afterwards. Distinguish the continuity plan from the disaster recovery plan and know the time-based metrics precisely.
