Skill area
Cloud runtime, configuration, scale, network boundaries, deployment model, and production readiness decisions.
Practice items tagged with Cloud Hosting.
Separates application composition in AppHost from reusable in-process defaults for telemetry, health, resilience, and service discovery.
Builds a small, immutable, non-root .NET runtime image with controlled inputs, external configuration, graceful lifecycle behavior, and a practical patching strategy.
Keeps images environment-neutral while handling configuration precedence, secret delivery, rotation, and startup validation safely.
Connects orchestrator requests and limits to .NET GC, thread-pool behavior, throttling, OOM termination, and capacity planning.
Separates ephemeral instance files from durable data and sends logs, uploads, caches, and diagnostics to storage with explicit lifecycle ownership.
Uses immutable image identity, controlled promotion, registry security, and deliberate base-image rebuilding instead of mutable latest tags.
Preparation paths where this taxonomy appears in the track scope.
App Service, identity, secrets, deployments, observability, and background work.
A focused Azure track for .NET backend and full-stack candidates who need to explain production hosting, safe releases, App Service behavior, managed identity, Key Vault, Azure SQL, Application Insights, and queue-based work.
Incidents, diagnosis, mitigation, and recovery for Azure-hosted .NET systems.
A focused incident-practice track for .NET backend and full-stack candidates who need to debug App Service releases, slot swaps, identity failures, Key Vault references, Azure SQL issues, missing telemetry, and queue-backed background processing problems.
