CompTIA Cloud+ Certification

Course Overview

This course offers the knowledge and skills required for working in a cloud computing environment and prepares delegates to take the CompTIA Cloud+ exam (Exam CV0-003). Cloud+ shows you have the expertise needed for data center jobs.

CompTIA Cloud+ certification is an internationally recognized validation of the knowledge required of IT practitioners working in cloud computing environments.

The exam will certify the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills required to understand standard cloud methodologies; to implement, maintain, and deliver cloud technologies (e.g., network, storage, and virtualization technologies); and to understand aspects of IT security and use industry best practices related to cloud implementations.

CompTIA Cloud+ reflects an emphasis on incorporating and managing cloud technologies as part of broader systems operations. It assumes a candidate will weave together solutions that meet specific business needs and work in a variety of different industries.

It includes the new technologies to support the changing cloud market as more organizations depend on cloud-based technologies to run mission critical systems, and hybrid and multi-cloud have become the norm.

Those planning for a career in this field gain a competitive edge once they’re equipped with the practical understanding and proficiency in cloud infrastructure delivery, which is outlined in this course.
