Core cloud concepts, largely transferable across AWS, Azure and GCP

Steps in Cloud Platform Fundamentals

Cloud Computing Concepts (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) — intermediate · The service models and shared responsibility model of public cloud providers
Compute Services (VMs/EC2) — intermediate · Provisioning and managing virtual machines in the cloud
Storage Services (Object/Block/File) — intermediate · Object storage (S3-style), block storage and file storage in the cloud
Networking in the Cloud (VPCs, Subnets) — intermediate · Virtual private clouds, subnets, route tables and gateways
Identity & Access Management (IAM) — intermediate · Roles, policies and the principle of least privilege in the cloud
Managed Databases in the Cloud — intermediate · Using managed relational and NoSQL database services instead of self-hosting
Cloud Cost Management Basics — intermediate · Understanding billing, tagging resources and avoiding runaway cloud spend
Multi-Cloud & Cloud-Agnostic Considerations — intermediate · Trade-offs of designing for portability across cloud providers vs going all-in on one
