Overview of the Fundamental Cloud Computing Exam
C90.01 validates foundational cloud architecture proficiency for system administrators, developers, and cloud architects by emphasizing essential virtualization, multi-tenancy, and resource pooling mechanisms. Candidates must master core service models—IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS—while understanding cloud delivery models, including public, private, hybrid, and community clouds. Technical assessment focuses on elastic scalability, measured usage, and the implementation of automated provisioning via hypervisors and virtual machine monitors. Mastery of cloud-specific security controls, data storage architectures, and logical network segmentation remains critical. Professionals must demonstrate an objective grasp of cloud terminology, service-level agreements, and the abstraction layers fundamental to scalable distributed enterprise infrastructure environments.
