Episode 10: Glossary Essentials — Wireless, Virtualization, and Cloud Terms

This episode introduces key terms associated with wireless networking, virtualization, and cloud computing, three areas that are heavily represented on the Network Plus exam. Wireless concepts such as SSID, WPA2, WPA3, and access point are explained, along with virtualization terms like hypervisor, virtual machine, and virtual switch. The discussion also covers cloud-related vocabulary, including IaaS, SaaS, PaaS, and elasticity, showing how these terms map directly to modern IT environments. Developing fluency in these terms helps you interpret exam questions and understand real-world technologies.The second half connects the terminology to scenarios that you may encounter both in the exam and in practice. For example, understanding the difference between WPA2 and WPA3 is essential when securing wireless networks, while grasping the role of a hypervisor is critical when analyzing virtual network architectures. Cloud terms are put into context by explaining how elasticity enables scalable infrastructure and how service models distribute responsibility between provider and customer. With these definitions in place, you gain the clarity needed to approach related questions with precision and confidence.
