About Data Storage and Cloud Platforms

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The resources here sit in two connected areas: how data is stored, and how cloud platforms deliver databases and storage. On the storage side, the Storage mind map moves from structured and unstructured digital data to magnetic, optical and flash-based devices. The Storage 2 flashcards ask about seek time, dirty pages and write-back cache.

On the cloud side, the SQL Azure Database mind map covers scalability, built-in failover and paying for what you use. Other maps cover Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon RDS, AWS Databases and Azure data engineering.

Where to start

Open the Storage mind map to get the vocabulary of devices and data types.
Read How A Consumer Can Measure Elasticity for Cloud Platforms for the ideas of elasticity, automatic provisioning and pay-as-you-go.
Move to the platform maps for Azure or AWS, depending on your exam.

Choosing quizzes

The ISM quizzes, such as ISM (1-40) and ISM 40-80, work through data center characteristics, RAID disk load calculations and replication. For Microsoft certification, the DP-900 quizzes and maps are listed, along with a DP-700 quiz. For Google, there are two GCP Professional Data Engineer quizzes. The Trung quiz asks about Amazon DynamoDB use cases and high availability across Availability Zones.

Using quizzes and maps together

Take a quiz first, without notes. Then open the map that matches each question you got wrong and read that branch. Come back to the quiz a day later and see whether the answer comes more easily. The flashcard decks are handy for short sessions on terms.

Where this unit fits

This is a unit in the Data Management and Engineering strand of Databases and data science. Choose one quiz that matches your exam, try it today, and then build your own maps or flashcards for the topics that need more work.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Storage mind map if you are new to the topic. It lays out digital data types and storage devices. If you already know the basics and want to test yourself, try the ISM (1-40) quiz, which covers data center characteristics and management processes.

Which certification exams are covered?

The listed resources mention DP-900, AWS and GCP Professional Data Engineer. You will find several DP-900 quizzes and a mind map, two GCP Professional Data Engineer quizzes, and AWS material including a DynamoDB quiz and database flashcards. Check each quiz to see whether it fits your exam.

What do the mind maps cover?

The mind maps cover cloud databases such as SQL Azure Database, Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon RDS, plus storage topics like NAS and storage virtualization. Others look at elasticity in cloud platforms and the links between big data analytics and cloud computing.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it helps to check that a quiz suits your course before relying on it.

Who is this page for?

It suits university students and professional candidates preparing for cloud and storage certifications, and teachers who want ready-made material. Students can practice with quizzes and maps, while teachers can pick sets to share with a class.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Browse the other quizzes, maps and flashcards on the page first, since titles are short and the content may match. If a topic is still missing, a free account lets you save your scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
