| Front | Back |
| What are cloud-native applications | Applications specifically designed to run and scale optimally in cloud environments utilizing its features |
| What are identity and access management (IAM) solutions in cloud computing | Systems used to control and monitor access to cloud resources and protect sensitive data |
| What are microservices | An architecture that breaks an application into small, independent services that communicate with each other |
| What are the three main types of cloud service models | Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) |
| What does scalability mean in cloud computing | The ability of a system to handle increased demand by adding resources |
| What does vendor lock-in mean in cloud computing | A situation where a customer is dependent on a single cloud provider and cannot easily switch to another due to proprietary services or data migration challenges |
| What is a cloud access security broker (CASB) | A security solution that acts as an intermediary between cloud users and service providers to enforce security policies |
| What is a cloud cost management strategy | The processes and tools used to monitor and optimize the cost of using cloud resources |
| What is a cloud-based data pipeline | A series of automated processes for moving and transforming data in the cloud from source to destination |
| What is a Content Delivery Network (CDN) | A network of servers that delivers cached content from the cloud to users based on their geographic location |
| What is a data fabric in data integration | An architecture and set of technologies that provide consistent access and integration across a variety of data sources |
| What is a data integration hub | A centralized platform that facilitates data sharing and synchronization between multiple systems and applications |
| What is a data lake | A centralized repository for storing raw and unstructured data at scale |
| What is a data warehouse | A structured storage system optimized for querying and analyzing stored data |
| What is a NoSQL database | A type of database designed to handle unstructured or semi-structured data, often used in cloud environments |
| What is a Service Level Agreement (SLA) in cloud computing | A contract that defines the expected service performance, availability, and responsibilities between a cloud provider and consumer |
| What is a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) | A private cloud environment within a public cloud, providing isolated resources for a specific user |
| What is an API | An Application Programming Interface that allows applications to communicate and share data |
| What is an orchestration tool in cloud computing | Software that automates the management, coordination, and configuration of cloud resources |
| What is cloud bursting | A hybrid cloud deployment where an application runs in a private cloud but temporarily uses public cloud resources during peak demand |
| What is cloud computing | The delivery of computing services over the internet including storage, databases, servers, and more |
| What is cloud data integration | The process of combining data from multiple sources into a unified view within the cloud |
| What is cloud elasticity | The ability of a cloud system to automatically scale resources up or down based on demand |
| What is cloud security | The set of policies and technologies designed to protect cloud data and applications from threats |
| What is containerization in cloud computing | A method of packaging an application and its dependencies together for consistent deployment across environments |
| What is data integration middleware | A software layer that connects different data sources, enabling integration and communication between them |
| What is data replication in cloud computing | The process of storing data copies in different locations to ensure availability and fault tolerance |
| What is disaster recovery in cloud computing | A set of policies and procedures to restore data and applications in case of a cloud failure or disaster |
| What is edge computing | Processing data closer to where it is generated, reducing latency and increasing speed |
| What is ETL in data integration | Extract, Transform, Load – a process for migrating and transforming data between systems |
| What is event-driven architecture | A software design paradigm where actions are triggered by events, often used for real-time data processing in the cloud |
| What is horizontal scaling in cloud computing | Adding more resources or servers to distribute workloads and increase capacity |
| What is hybrid cloud | A combination of public and private clouds allowing for data integration between environments |
| What is IaaS | Infrastructure as a Service, providing virtualized computing resources over the internet |
| What is infrastructure as code (IaC) | The practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files instead of manual processes |
| What is Kubernetes | An open-source platform for managing containerized applications and automating deployment, scaling, and operations |
| What is latency in cloud computing | The time it takes for a data packet to travel from the source to the destination in a network or system |
| What is Multi-Cloud Strategy | Using multiple cloud providers to leverage their respective strengths and prevent vendor lock-in |
| What is redundant data storage in cloud systems | Storing multiple copies of data across various locations to ensure reliability and availability |
| What is SaaS | Software as a Service, delivering applications over the internet without requiring local installation |
| What is serverless computing | A cloud computing model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the server allocation and scaling |
| What is the difference between public and private clouds | Public clouds are shared and managed by external providers, while private clouds are dedicated to a single organization |
| What is the principle of least privilege in cloud security | Granting users and services only the permissions they need to perform their tasks to minimize security risks |
| What is the role of middleware in data integration | Middleware connects systems, applications, and data to enable seamless communication |
| What is vertical scaling in cloud computing | Increasing the capacity of an individual server or resource to handle higher workloads |

About the Flashcards
Flashcards for the CompTIA DataSys+ exam guide you through core cloud principles like IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and distinctions among public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. Concise prompts reinforce concepts of scalability, elasticity, redundancy, and the role of APIs, helping you quickly recall terminology and key service characteristics.
The deck extends into practical design topics-containerization with Docker and Kubernetes, microservices, serverless functions-and essential data strategies such as ETL pipelines, data lakes versus warehouses, and integration middleware. Security and governance areas including IAM, CASB, SLAs, disaster recovery, cost management, and vendor lock-in round out the knowledge needed to succeed on exam day.
Topics covered in this flashcard deck:
- Cloud service models
- Deployment architectures
- Containerization & orchestration
- Data integration & storage
- Security & governance
