Design cloud architecture solutions

This standard is about designing cloud architecture solutions.

Designing cloud architecture solutions involves developing scalable, secure, and robust clout network systems that provide the required cloud services to meet organisational needs. Cloud architecture involves designing the structure and arrangement of cloud infrastructure, services, storage and applications within a cloud environment.

This standard is for those who need to design cloud architecture solutions as part of their duties.
