HTTP/HTTPS & TLS

Part of the Cloud Computing Roadmap

In short

The protocol underlying almost all web traffic, and TLS — the encryption layer securing it — understanding certificate management (often handled by cloud-managed certificate services) is a common real task.

How to learn this

  1. 1Inspect a website's TLS certificate details in your browser.
  2. 2Explore a cloud provider's managed certificate service (ACM or equivalent) conceptually.
  3. 3Understand why HTTPS is now a hard requirement for virtually any production service.
