IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS draw the line between what the provider manages and what you do, everything else builds on that distinction.
Identity and access management is the security foundation every other cloud resource sits behind.
VPCs, subnets, and security groups determine what's reachable from where before a single workload is deployed.
With identity and networking decisions made, declarative, versioned infrastructure is how you actually provision and repeat them.
Once infrastructure is provisioned as code, Kubernetes is the most common way to run and scale the workloads on top of it.
Once real infrastructure is running, rightsizing and pricing-model choices are what keep steady-state cost from silently growing.
