About Cloud Computing and Cloud Platforms
GoConqr OriginalWhat the page covers
The resources run from general ideas to vendor certification practice. At the general end you will find mind maps called Cloud Computing, SaaS and Cloud Storage, plus notes on PaaS Cloud Services and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). There are also university-style sets on distributed systems, including replication lectures and the CSSE4004 quizzes.
Vendor and exam material
A large share is aimed at certifications. For AWS there are notes for the Solutions Architect Associate covering Identity and Access Management, EC2, EBS, S3, EFS and Lambda. There are also several Developer Associate quizzes, including the AWS DVA-C02 series. For Azure, look at the AZ-900 quiz and notes, and the AZ-104 Azure Administrator Associate quiz. For Google Cloud, try the GCP Associate Cloud Engineer quiz and the Google Cloud Platform Associate Exam Prep Flashcards, which ask about GKE and App Engine.
A sensible order
- Start with a broad mind map such as Cloud Computing to see the main models and terms.
- Read Introduction to Cloud Computing or Cloud Concepts - Principles of cloud computing to fill in detail.
- Choose one provider and read its notes, for example EC2 - Elastic Compute Cloud or S3 - Simple Storage Servce.
- Take a quiz on that provider and note what you missed.
- Go back to flashcards on those gaps.
Using quizzes and maps together
Maps give you the shape of a topic, and quizzes show whether you can apply it. After a quiz such as AZ-900, which asks about benefits like elasticity and agility, return to a map and check the branch you got wrong. Scenario questions in the AWS Developer Associate Practice Quiz set reward that habit, because they ask you to choose services for a described job.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Networks, the Internet and Cloud strand of Computing and ICT. Some listed resources mention GCSE Computer Science and GCSE ICT, so school students can find a gentler way in.
Choose one provider, open a quiz and see how far your knowledge already goes.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
If you are new to the topic, start with one of the Cloud Computing mind maps or the notes called Introduction to Cloud Computing. They set out the main ideas before you meet provider names. Once those make sense, move to a provider's notes and then a practice quiz.
Which certification exams do the resources mention?
The listed resources mention AZ-900, AZ-104, AWS Cloud Practitioner, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified Developer, AWS DVA-C02, Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect and GCP Associate Cloud Engineer. Check each resource's title and description to see which exam it targets.
Is there anything for school students?
Yes. Some resources mention GCSE Computer Science and GCSE ICT, and the general notes and mind maps on cloud models, storage and services suit school students meeting the topic. The certification quizzes are tougher, so treat them as a stretch.
What do the mind maps cover?
They range from broad overviews such as Cloud Computing, The Cloud and A Cloud Definition to narrower topics like SaaS, Cloud Storage, Online Data Storage and Collaborative Platforms. Others cover AWS compute services, GCP Cloud Architect and distributed systems.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
What if I can't find my provider or exam?
Try the broader cloud mind maps and notes first, as the ideas carry across providers. The page also lists Huawei H13-511 flashcards and Azure PowerShell flashcards. You can also make your own resources on the missing topic.
