Do we have cloud solutions with pci dss certification?

Question

Network administration

Good afternoon.
We select options for a payment service that will need to be brought under the pci dss standard.
The question is in terms of infrastructure .... from the point of view of cheapness, combined with fault tolerance and extensibility, we mainly look towards cloud virtual machines or service clouds (Yandek, Amazon) ... Dedicated servers will turn out to be more expensive ... We
looked at the clouds: selectel - they offered an option with Dedikami, about the cloud was not certified in any way and they cannot guarantee compliance with the standards.
infobox - did not pass certification according to technical support. Compliance is unclear.
Yandex.Cloud - they didn’t answer, well, something tells me that it will be a little more expensive ...
IT-Grad is PR everywhere that they correspond to the maximum ...
In principle, googling the words "pci dss hosting" gives a couple more alternatives, incl. cloud ...
But I would like to know real cases, who was certified on the clouds and on which ones ... do all these certifications make sense in terms of simplifying obtaining a certificate? And in general, how valid is hosting in the cloud, I don’t quite understand how to fit some points of the requirements of the standard into the concept of the cloud?
Thank you.

Answer 1

I will tell you one important secret - if the hosting is pci dss certified, then this does not apply to your application in any way. You will have to pass this certification on your own.

Answer 2

Because the execution logic goes to a branch where the variable is not incremented, and thus there is an infinite loop in which i == 0.
To avoid this, you can move the increment from the branches to a common while loop.

Answer 3

Specifically, in this code, the loop is infinite because there is no else on the second if.
It turns out:
i != 2 --> names[i] != "Peter" --> the loop starts again, while i = 0.
To avoid this, put i += 1 in the last line for while
. Better work on the code.

names = ["Влад", "Юля", "Петя"]
i = 0
while i < len(names):
    if names[i] == "Петя":
        print("Имя Петя есть в элементе под номером " + str(i))
        break
    elif i == len(names) - 1:
        print("Имени Петя в массиве нет!")
    i += 1
