Cloud Computing — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

For Prelims, focus on factual clarity and conceptual understanding. Master the definitions and distinctions between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, as well as public, private, hybrid, and community cloud models.

Pay close attention to government initiatives like GI Cloud (MeghRaj), DigiLocker, and UMANG – their purpose, features, and how they leverage cloud. Memorize key policy documents and their objectives, such as the 'cloud-first' policy and the implications of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, particularly regarding data localization.

Understand the basic security concerns and the underlying technologies like virtualization and containerization. Practice MCQs that test your ability to identify characteristics, examples, and the correct application of cloud concepts in the Indian context.

Vyyuha advises creating flashcards for key terms and their definitions, and regularly reviewing government reports and current affairs related to cloud adoption.
