Cloud & Infrastructure Topics
Cloud platform services, infrastructure architecture, Infrastructure as Code, environment provisioning, and infrastructure operations. Covers cloud service selection, infrastructure provisioning patterns, container orchestration (Kubernetes), multi-cloud and hybrid architectures, infrastructure cost optimization, and cloud platform operations. For CI/CD pipeline and deployment automation, see DevOps & Release Engineering. For cloud security implementation, see Security Engineering & Operations. For data infrastructure design, see Data Engineering & Analytics Infrastructure.
Cloud Basics AWS Fundamentals
Basic AWS concepts relevant to DevOps: EC2 instances, S3 storage, IAM for access control, basic networking (VPCs, security groups), and understanding how cloud services differ from on-premises infrastructure.
Amazon Web Services Familiarity
Demonstrate hands on familiarity with core Amazon Web Services offerings and explain how to use them to build solutions. Areas include compute options and trade offs, container services and orchestration, object and block storage choices, relational and non relational databases, virtual private cloud networking constructs such as subnets and routing, load balancing and connectivity options, identity and access management and key management, monitoring and logging, and infrastructure as code. Candidates should be able to compare service trade offs, describe common integration and deployment patterns, discuss operational concerns such as limits and cost implications, and give concrete examples of designing and operating solutions with these services.
