Identity, Security and Governance

Security is job zero: identity and access management, zero-trust thinking, key management and the governance that keeps whole organisations compliant.

  • Design least-privilege IAM roles and policies
  • Apply zero-trust and MFA patterns
  • Set up governance: tagging, policies, audit and cost controls

Containers and Kubernetes

The standard for modern applications: package with Docker, orchestrate with Kubernetes, and run production workloads with confidence.

  • Build and ship container images
  • Deploy applications to Kubernetes clusters
  • Operate clusters: scaling, config, secrets and observability

Try It

Sample quiz — test your instincts

A taste of the module quizzes inside the program. Click an answer to check yourself — instant feedback, no signup needed.

Q1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides…

Ready-to-use software applications
Virtual infrastructure like servers and networks
Email hosting only
Business analytics dashboards

IaaS gives you the raw building blocks — compute, storage and networking — that you configure and manage yourself.

Q2. Object storage is the best fit for…

Complex relational queries
Unstructured files at massive scale
In-memory caching
DNS resolution

Object storage excels at storing images, backups, logs and documents — durable, cheap and effectively unlimited.

Q3. Kubernetes is used to…

Write SQL queries
Orchestrate containers across a cluster
Design user interfaces
Send marketing email

Kubernetes schedules, scales, heals and networks containerised applications across many machines.

Q4. IAM in the cloud manages…

Invoices and billing
Identities and their permissions
Only IP addresses
GPU allocation

Identity and Access Management controls who can do what to which resource — the heart of cloud security.

Q5. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) means…

Configuring everything manually in the console
Defining infrastructure in versioned code files
A built-in chat feature
Compressing disk images

With IaC tools like Terraform, environments are declared in code — reviewable, repeatable and testable like software.
