Quick-fire recall
A rapid-drill term list spanning every chapter, for a last pass the night before the exam.
Speaker notes
- This slide compresses the whole deck into single-line recall triggers, term on the left, the one fact that matters on the right. Read down the list and self-test: cover the right column and see if you can state the fact from the term alone before revealing it.
- These terms were deliberately chosen because each one has a specific, testable fact attached, not just a definition, dry-run mode logs without blocking, a Spot VM gives 30 seconds notice, Persistent Disk is no longer the default, these are the shape of real exam questions.
- If any term on this slide doesn't immediately produce its fact from memory, that's a signal to go back to that chapter's slides (or the full tutorial chapter, for the deepest version) before exam day, not to reread the whole deck end to end again.
