What Is the C90.01 Fundamental Cloud Computing Exam ?

C90.01 validates your understanding of core cloud computing concepts and terminology. It covers the three main delivery models (SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS), the business cost metrics and formulas used to compare cloud and on-premises costs, and the SLA formulas used to measure cloud service quality.

What Topics Does C90.01 Cover ?

1. Cloud Terminology and Concepts : Cloud, IT resource, on-premises, cloud consumer and provider, scaling (horizontal and vertical), cloud service

2. Business Drivers, Benefits, and Risks : Why organizations adopt cloud, reduced investment, scalability, availability, security and compliance risks

3. Cloud Characteristics : On-demand usage, ubiquitous access, multitenancy and resource pooling, elasticity, measured usage, resiliency

4. Roles and Boundaries : Cloud provider, cloud consumer, cloud service owner, cloud resource administrator, organizational and trust boundaries

5. Cloud Delivery Models : SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, and how they combine

6. Cloud Deployment Models : Public, private, community, and hybrid clouds

7. Business Cost Metrics : Formulas for comparing cloud and on-premises costs, including up-front and ongoing costs

8. SLAs and Quality of Service : SLA components, plus formulas for availability, reliability, performance, scalability, and resiliency

What Are the Core Cloud Characteristics?

Arcitura defines six characteristics that make an IT environment a cloud: on-demand usage, ubiquitous access, multitenancy (resource pooling), elasticity, measured usage, and resiliency. Many C90.01 questions test whether you can recognize these characteristics in a scenario.

What's the Difference Between SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS?

IaaS provides infrastructure such as virtual servers, storage, and networks, and the consumer manages everything above it. PaaS provides a ready-made environment for building and deploying applications. SaaS delivers finished software that consumers simply use. Each model shifts a different level of control and responsibility to the provider.

What Are Cloud Deployment Models?

Deployment models describe who owns the cloud and who can access it. A public cloud is owned by a third-party provider. A private cloud is owned by a single organization. A community cloud is shared by organizations with common requirements. A hybrid cloud combines two or more models.

How Are Cloud Costs and SLAs Measured?

C90.01 teaches Arcitura's business cost metrics for comparing cloud and on-premises costs. It also covers SLA formulas for measuring quality of service characteristics such as availability and reliability. Expect questions that require you to understand these formulas.

Who Should Take the C90.01 Exam?

• Newcomers to cloud computing who want a structured, vendor-neutral foundation

• IT professionals, developers, and administrators moving into cloud roles

• Managers, analysts, and consultants who need to understand cloud business models, costs, and SLAs

• Anyone starting an Arcitura cloud track, such as Cloud Technology Professional, Cloud Architect, or Cloud Security Specialist

How to Prepare for the C90.01 Exam

1. Learn the terminology first. Arcitura uses precise definitions, so study them exactly.

2. Memorize the six cloud characteristics and practice spotting them in scenarios.

3. Compare the delivery and deployment models side by side.

4. Practice the cost and SLA formulas until you understand what each measures.

5. Take timed tests in the TroyTec Test Engine, then move on to C90.02.
