How to pass UUY-DTS 422

  • Use a free tier (AWS, GCP or Azure) and deploy something real. Set a billing alert first — every student has a horror story
  • Deploy your DTS 428 model as an API; a live URL in your project defence is memorable and demonstrates the whole stack
  • IaaS/PaaS/SaaS classification questions are guaranteed — have a concrete example of each ready
  • Least privilege is the security rule that matters most here, and the one most often violated in student projects
