01Cloud infrastructure design, alternatives and lifecycle trade-offs
An infrastructure design begins with the actual business service, users, data, dependency map and workload evidence. Record functional needs, availability, latency, growth, recovery, security, location and budget constraints.
387 words, about 2 min02Cloud concepts, architecture and service models
The Cloud Computing Foundations domain covers the vocabulary the rest of the exam builds on: what cloud computing actually is, the five essential characteristics that must all be present, and the economic logic behind adoption. Apply the stated definition carefully rather than assuming a marketing label establishes the operating characteristics.
926 words, about 5 min03Storage access, protection and capacity reasoning
Block storage presents addressable blocks to a host that normally supplies its own filesystem or other structure. File storage presents files and directories through a protocol such as SMB or NFS.
404 words, about 2 min04Identity, 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 min05Network boundaries and protected communication
This domain tests perimeter architecture and the device behaviour that makes segmentation real. Questions tend to be scenario-based: where a host belongs, which rule is needed, and what a given protocol actually protects.
430 words, about 2 min06Security 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 min07Continuity, 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.
