Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to configure, deploy and monitor a range of technology resources of core cloud computing service on a cloud platform.
The unit applies to cloud engineers, cloud systems administrators and those who work within cloud computing operations to provision, implement and maintain cloud computing solutions for a business with little guidance or supervision. These ICT professionals may work from designs developed by cloud architects and focus on operational concerns, including automation and maintaining cloud resources.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Performance Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and to:
- deploy and configure at least 6 of the following different types of cloud resources, including but not limited to
- virtual machines
- container services
- load balancers and autoscaling
- serverless functions
- API gateways
- block or object storage
- managed databases
- DNS
- content delivery networks.
In the course of the above, the candidate must:
- use cloud management console, cloud software development kits or command line tools
- develop and execute test plans and demonstrate successful task completion
- consider procedural improvements to produce repeatable and automated deployments by reducing manual processes.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. This includes knowledge of:
- industry technology standards used in cloud computing solutions and services

- purpose, benefits and features of cloud-based:
- virtual machines and containers services
- API gateways and serverless computing
- load balancing and autoscaling
- block and object storage
- managed databases
- DNS and content delivery networks
- resource logging, monitoring and alerting tools
- repeatable and automated provisioning with
- software development kits
- command line tools
- infrastructure as code services.
Assessment Conditions
Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry.
This includes access to:
- cloud vendor service provider
