Cloud Foundations

This level introduces learners to the fundamentals of cloud computing. Students will understand the different service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), the shared responsibility model, and basic cloud economics. They will work with core services like compute instances, storage buckets, and virtual networks to gain hands-on experience setting up simple workloads. The level also covers Identity and Access Management (IAM) to ensure secure user, role, and policy management, teaching learners how to enforce the principle of least privilege.
