Focused lessons organized by concept. Start with the explanation, trace the examples, and check your recall before moving on.

CI/CD

Continuous integration checks changes frequently through automated builds and tests. Continuous delivery keeps a verified release ready for deployment, while continuous deployment automatically sends qualifying changes to production. The distinction is the production release decision, not whether any automation exists.

Cloud

Cloud platforms provide managed building blocks for compute, storage, databases, networking and operations. AWS and Azure use different service names, but the underlying choices—virtual machine versus managed runtime, object storage versus database, public versus private network—are transferable. Understanding responsibilities is more useful than memorizing a long service list.
