From there it covers modern data and AI services, security and compliance, and the supporting services and interfaces (Portal and APIs) that tie the whole portfolio together. It's the third step of the STACKIT Fundamentals path — after the Introduction and the Portal — and gives every other STACKIT University path a shared map of "what exists" before going deep on any one part of it. ### What You'll Learn - Explain what STACKIT is and describe its core portfolio areas - Understand Availability Zones and how STACKIT ensures reliability and high availability - Distinguish IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS and know when to use each - Describe how cloud-native applications run on STACKIT runtime offerings - Place data, AI, cybersecurity, and critical infrastructure protection within the STACKIT ecosystem - Get a high-level view of the STACKIT Portal and APIs as interfaces to manage services ### Modules - STACKIT's Portfolio at a Glance - Cloud Infrastructure Fundamentals - STACKIT Services for Application Deployment - Platform & Developer Experience - Modern Data & AI Services - Security & Compliance - STACKIT Supporting Services
