Episode 11 — Domain 1.0 Cloud Architecture and Design — Overview
This episode introduces Domain 1 of the Cloud+ CV0-003 exam, which focuses on understanding and applying cloud architecture and design principles. We outline the major objectives in this domain, from comparing deployment models to analyzing capacity planning requirements and implementing high availability. You’ll learn why architecture decisions impact performance, cost, scalability, and security, and how exam scenarios test your ability to choose the best design for given business needs. The discussion sets a strong foundation by linking architectural theory with practical decision-making strategies used in modern multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
We also preview advanced topics within the domain, such as trend analysis, workload behavior, and resiliency planning, and explain how these elements integrate with other domains like security and operations. This overview is designed to help you see how Domain 1 fits into the larger certification blueprint, giving you a clear vision for how to approach your study and lab work.
