Cloud Infrastructure First Map

A practical path for learning cloud by category first, then service names.

1. Identity

Learn users, roles, policies, and least privilege. Question: who can do what?

2. Networking

Learn VPCs, subnets, routing, and security groups. Question: what can talk to what?

3. Compute

Learn VMs, containers, and serverless. Question: where does the code run?

4. Storage

Learn object, block, file, and database basics. Question: where does the data live?

5. Monitoring

Learn logs, metrics, alarms, and traces. Question: how do we know what happened?

6. Cost

Learn budgets, tags, right-sizing, and cleanup. Question: how does usage become money?

Self-assessment

  • I can explain the difference between a user, role, and permission.
  • I can name one use case for a virtual machine, container, and serverless function.
  • I can explain why private networks matter.
  • I can describe one way cloud costs get out of control.
