Lesson 12 · Checkpoint · Domain 1: Cloud Concepts (25–30%) + Domain 2: Azure Architecture & Services (35–40%)

Checkpoint: Domains 1–2 Mini Practice

No new material. Ten lessons, two full exam domains, one quiz — questions interleaved out of lesson order on purpose, because that's closer to how the real exam mixes topics than reviewing them one clean block at a time.

Covers: L1 Cloud fundamentals · L2 Cloud benefits · L3 Service types · L4 Architectural components · L5 Compute · L6 Networking · L7 Storage · L8 Data migration · L9 Identity & access · L10 Security models.

One outstanding weak spot

Management of vs. management in the cloud

Flagged back in Lesson 2 and never retested since — see learning record 0001. Quick recap before the quiz gets to it: management of the cloud is automated, no hands involved (auto-scale, deployment templates, health monitoring with auto-replace, metric alerts). Management in the cloud is an interface you personally reach for (portal, CLI, APIs, PowerShell). Mnemonic: "in" = interfaces you use, "of" = automated, on its own.

Everything else below is straight interleaved recall — no re-teaching, since Lesson 11 already gave the security-models trio (Zero Trust, defense-in-depth layers, Defender pillars) a dedicated pass.

Practice

Tell me which numbers you missed, not just how many — a miss on the management of/in pair means we drill that specific thing again; a scatter of misses across unrelated questions means the checkpoint did its job and you're ready for Domain 3.
