Cloud platforms

Cloud Computing Intern

Explore cloud identity, networking, compute, storage, monitoring, cost awareness and operational responsibility.

Track overview

What this learning path covers.

This track introduces the design and operating principles shared by major cloud platforms. Learners may use sandbox environments and architecture exercises to understand resource organisation, identity, network boundaries, workload components, resilience, monitoring and responsible cost control.

This is an expression-of-interest track. Final scope, schedule, supervision, selection and availability are confirmed only for an approved internship engagement.

Focus areas

Topics you may explore.

  • Cloud resource and responsibility models
  • Identity, permissions and network boundaries
  • Compute, storage and managed-service selection
  • Monitoring, resilience and cost awareness

Learning outcomes

Capabilities to develop.

  • Describe shared responsibility without assuming the provider secures everything
  • Sketch a simple cloud workload and identify its dependencies
  • Apply basic least-privilege, tagging, monitoring and budget principles
  • Compare service choices using requirements rather than product popularity

Supervised practice

Examples of learning activities.

Activities use approved labs, sample data or specifically authorised environments. They are adapted to the learner’s current ability and the available supervision.

01

Create a simple architecture diagram for a fictional business workload

02

Deploy and document approved resources in a restricted sandbox

03

Review sample permissions, monitoring signals and cost reports

04

Prepare a shutdown, cleanup and handover checklist for lab resources

Useful foundations
