By the end
What you'll build
- Explain in plain language what the cloud physically is and trace a web request from a device to a datacenter and back
- Distinguish virtualization, containers and serverless as rungs of an abstraction ladder
- Place any cloud service on the IaaS, PaaS or SaaS tier by asking how much of the stack you still manage
- Choose among public, private, hybrid and multi-cloud deployment models for a given situation
- Reason about regions and Availability Zones for latency, data residency (India's DPDP Act, 2023) and high availability
- Apply the shared responsibility model and identify customer-side security failures such as public storage buckets
- Think in pay-per-use terms and compute TCO, on-demand-vs-reserved break-even and the causes of a surprise bill using Python calculators
- Practice safely in genuinely free, no-credit-card cloud environments and verify your own hands-on evidence
- Read dated Indian cloud market and salary figures honestly, without treating any of them as a promise
- Choose a cloud provider and a next learning step deliberately, understanding that Karka is prep and evidence — not the certification itself
