Huawei HCIP-Cloud Service Solutions Architect study plan

Map every major Huawei Cloud service family to the specific design question it answers, and write one selection rule per family

Compare ECS instance families and flavor types, then prescribe a family and flavor for five distinct workload profiles

Distinguish when a workload belongs on ECS, Bare Metal Server, or a container platform, and justify each of three placements in two sentences

Design an Auto Scaling policy set (min/max instances, scheduled policy, metric-based policy, cooldown) for a stateless web tier

Allocate a non-overlapping VPC and subnet address plan for a three-tier application with room for growth

Select the correct load balancer type and listener configuration for HTTP, TCP, and cross-AZ traffic patterns

Choose between EIP, NAT Gateway, and private access for three specified egress and ingress requirements

Decide between Direct Connect and VPN for two hybrid connectivity scenarios, stating the trade-off in latency, bandwidth, and cost

Explain how DNS resolution and record sets support failover between endpoints

Design an IAM structure with user groups, role-based policies, and least-privilege scoping for a two-team organization

Determine where KMS customer-managed keys are required versus platform-managed encryption across storage and database services

Assign the correct protective control (WAF, HSS, cloud firewall, security group) to each of ten described attack scenarios

Sequence the security controls into a defense-in-depth layer model from perimeter to data

List the compliance obligations that change a design, such as audit logging, key rotation, and data residency

Match block, file, and object storage services to five access patterns and state the reason for each match

Size and tier an EVS volume set for a database workload, including the disk type and redundancy choice

Define an OBS lifecycle rule that moves data from standard to infrequent to archive tiers with stated retention boundaries

Design a backup and archive schedule that satisfies a stated recovery point objective for file and object data

Select the right relational, caching, distributed, or warehousing service for six described data workloads

Justify a read/write splitting and replica topology for a read-heavy application with a stated latency target

Decide when sharding with a distributed middleware is warranted versus scaling up a single relational instance

Lay out a data lake ingestion-to-query pipeline using object storage, compute, and warehouse layers

Specify the cache eviction and persistence settings for a session store with a stated tolerance for data loss

Derive RTO and RPO targets from business impact statements for three application tiers

Map each availability tier to the matching architecture: single node, multi-AZ, cross-region active-passive, cross-region active-active

Design a failover and failback sequence with the health check and DNS cutover steps in order

Choose migration approaches for server, database, and object data moves, and order the cutover activities

Identify the single points of failure in a supplied three-tier description and remove each one

Configure a monitoring plan naming the metrics, alarm thresholds, and notification paths for compute, database, and network resources

Consolidate logs and audit trails into a central collection and retention design

Automate a repeatable environment build using templates and scripts so it can be recreated without manual steps

Apply cost optimization levers to a sample eight-line bill and quantify the saving for each lever

Re-test the two weakest objectives from earlier weeks and close the gaps

Reconstruct the full service portfolio map from memory and correct any gaps against the week 1 matrix

Complete two timed 60-question practice sets under exam conditions

Diagnose every missed item by root cause: unknown fact, misread question, or wrong design trade-off

Re-derive the ten most-missed decision rules and restate each in one sentence

Finalize personal timing strategy for the exam section pacing
