CloudPlatforms Hub

This cluster covers cloud computing platforms — the patterns, services, and operational disciplines that make cloud workloads run well. The orientation is decision-oriented: which cloud services are the right tool for which job, and the trade-offs that come with each choice.

Platform Foundations

- [AwsFundamentals](AwsFundamentals) — Core AWS services, IAM, VPC, the mental model

- [AzureFundamentals](AzureFundamentals) — Enterprise integration, Entra ID, and Azure AI

- [GcpFundamentals](GcpFundamentals) — Global VPCs, BigQuery, and ML specialization

- [CloudNativeApplicationDesign](CloudNativeApplicationDesign) — 12-factor revisited; designing for the cloud-native model

Adoption and Maturity Models

- [AwsMaturityModel](AwsMaturityModel) — **New**: Phased guide from Landing Zones to Autonomous Governance

- [GcpMaturityModel](GcpMaturityModel) — **New**: Phased guide from Shared VPCs to AI-Native Operations
