Choose a workload's service and deployment model and split responsibilities
Tell cloud, hosting and managed service apart using the NIST definition, choose a service model (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, CaaS, FaaS) and a deployment model (public, private, hybrid, sovereign) for a workload, state who secures what and recognize the cases where the cloud is not a fit.

Beyond the lessons
Assess, practise, pass the proof
Reading a lesson confirms nothing. A skill is confirmed by a passed quiz, practised in a guided lab, and put to the test by a challenge or a mission; an imported lab result is not verified by the site.

- Estimate a cloud architecture's monthly cost from dated price lists
- Design a cloud environment's private network: addressing, a regional network attached in several zones, routing and default-deny filtering
- Choose a workload's compute model and size it from measurements
- Choose a workload's storage family and class from access, measured performance, durability and cost
- Choose a data service, managed or self-managed, and connect it privately, replication and failover included
- Choose the interconnection and network pattern of a hybrid environment: VPN, dedicated link, BGP, DMZ and hub-spoke
