📘 Database Roles — WGU D426 OA

This image highlights how database roles control access and protect data using role-based security.

Key roles explained:

DBA (Database Administrator): Full control — manages users, security, backups, and performance.

Designer: Defines database structure, tables, and relationships.

Programmer: Builds queries, procedures, and application logic.

User: Limited access — reads or updates data based on permissions.

Why this matters:

Enforces the principle of least privilege.

Reduces security risks and accidental data changes.

A core concept tested in WGU database and security courses.

📘 Rapid Elasticity — WGU D320 OA

This image explains rapid elasticity, a core cloud-computing concept tested in WGU exams.

Key idea:

Cloud resources can scale up instantly during demand spikes (like Black Friday week) and scale back down when demand drops.

You pay only for what you use, instead of maintaining expensive year-round infrastructure.

Enabled by resource pooling, broad network access, and measured service.

Why it matters:

Prevents performance issues during traffic surges.

Reduces cost and operational waste.

A defining characteristic of true cloud services.

📘 Email Security Requirements — WGU D334 OA

This image highlights the three core security goals every secure email system must meet—and how S/MIME addresses them.

Key points to know for the exam:

Confidentiality: Email content is encrypted so only the intended recipient can read it.

Authentication: Digital certificates verify the sender’s identity.

Integrity: Digital signatures ensure the message hasn’t been altered in transit.

Why S/MIME matters:

It combines encryption + digital signatures.

Provides end-to-end email protection.

Common exam keyword when questions mention secure email, certificates, or message integrity.

📘 Business Rules in Databases — WGU D426 OA

This image highlights how CHECK constraints enforce business rules directly at the database level.

Key idea:

A CHECK constraint validates data before it’s stored.

Example shown: Price > 0 ensures negative or invalid prices can never be inserted.

This protects data quality even if the application logic fails.

Why this matters for the exam and real systems:

Business rules belong in the database, not just the application.

CHECK constraints help maintain accuracy, consistency, and trust in your data.

Common exam trigger: “Enforce business logic at the database level”.

🔐 TLS Hybrid Encryption — WGU D334 OA

This image breaks down how TLS (Transport Layer Security) achieves both strong security and high performance.

How it works:

Asymmetric encryption is used first to securely exchange a session key. This method is very secure but slow.

Once the key is shared, symmetric encryption takes over to encrypt data quickly and efficiently.

The result is a system that combines the strength of asymmetric encryption with the speed of symmetric encryption.

Why this matters (and shows up on the exam):

Explains why HTTPS connections are both safe and fast

Highlights why TLS does not use asymmetric encryption for all data

Common exam phrase: “Secure key exchange + fast data transfer”

🌍 Data Sovereignty — WGU D320 OA

This visual explains data sovereignty, a critical cloud and compliance concept.

Key idea:

Data is governed by the laws of the country where it is stored, not where the company is based.

When data moves across borders, different national regulations apply (for example, U.S., EU, or Japan).

Why this matters:

Impacts cloud architecture decisions and data residency

Affects privacy, security, and compliance requirements

Organizations must know where their data physically lives to avoid legal risk

Exam tip:

If a question mentions data location, country-specific laws, or regulatory compliance, the correct concept is data sovereignty.

💾 Transaction Management Explained (WGU D426 OA Focus)

This image illustrates a core database concept: transaction management, which ensures data accuracy and reliability—especially in financial operations.

🔑 Key Points to Know:

A transaction is a group of database operations treated as one single unit of work.

The transfer of $100 from Account A to Account B must either fully complete or not happen at all.

This is the principle of Atomicity — often summarized as “All or Nothing.”

If any part of the transaction fails, the system rolls back to the original state.

The result is Consistency Guaranteed, meaning the database always remains in a valid, correct state.

📘 For the WGU D426 OA, remember:
👉 Transactions protect data integrity and prevent partial or incorrect updates.
