PQC Migration for Cloud Platforms and SaaS
Cloud providers face a unique version of the migration challenge: they must migrate their own infrastructure while simultaneously enabling their customers’ migrations. The shared responsibility model creates questions about what the provider must do versus what the customer must do. TLS termination at cloud scale involves different engineering challenges than enterprise TLS migration. And KMS/HSM fleet upgrades affect every customer simultaneously.
This course covers PQC migration for cloud platforms, SaaS providers, and managed service providers.
Who Should Take This Course
Cloud architects, security engineers, SREs, platform engineers, and security leaders at cloud platforms, SaaS providers, and managed service providers.
What You Will Learn
This course covers the quantum threat and PQC migration as it applies specifically to your sector, including sector-specific regulatory requirements, unique technical constraints, and practical migration strategies aligned with the PQC Migration Framework sector extensions.
Course Outline
Module 1 — Shared Responsibility in PQC Migration
What the provider must migrate versus what the customer must migrate. How to communicate PQC migration responsibilities to customers. Customer-managed key considerations. API and SDK PQC support timelines.
Module 2 — TLS at Cloud Scale
TLS termination for millions of connections: performance implications of PQC algorithms at scale. Load balancer and CDN considerations. Certificate management at scale. Hybrid deployment during transition.
Module 3 — KMS and HSM Fleet Migration
Key management service PQC migration affecting all customers. HSM firmware upgrade coordination. Customer-managed key transitions. Key wrapping and re-encryption at scale.
Module 4 — Compliance and Market Requirements
FedRAMP PQC requirements. SOC 2 implications. Customer audit expectations. Building PQC readiness as a competitive differentiator.
Prerequisites
None. Sector experience is helpful but not required. For a broader PQC foundation, consider starting with Post-Quantum Foundation.
Certificate of Completion
Upon completion, you will receive a Quantum Academy certificate of completion. This is not a professional certification.
