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
