Assess if you (or your team) are ready to work with modern cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP. Check each item that applies.

1. Foundational Knowledge

I understand what cloud computing is and its key benefits. I can differentiate between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. I know the top 3 cloud providers and their specialties (AWS, Azure, GCP). I understand basic cloud pricing models (pay-as-you-go, reserved instances).

2. Cloud Platform Skills

I can set up virtual machines or compute instances in the cloud. I understand how to use cloud storage (S3, Blob, GCS, etc.). I have deployed apps or databases on a cloud platform. I know how to use the CLI or SDK for at least one cloud provider.

3. Infrastructure & Architecture

I understand networking concepts (VPC, subnets, firewalls). I can design a simple 2- or 3-tier cloud architecture. I have some experience with IaC (Terraform or CloudFormation). I understand concepts like scalability, availability, and disaster recovery.

4. Security & Compliance

I understand identity and access management (IAM). I know how to encrypt cloud data at rest and in transit. I’m aware of security best practices (e.g., key rotation, audit logs). I know about compliance requirements like ISO, SOC 2, or local data laws.

5. DevOps & Automation

I’ve used CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI. I’ve deployed containers using Docker or Kubernetes in the cloud. I understand monitoring and logging services (CloudWatch, Stackdriver). I’ve automated deployments or resource provisioning.
