CompTIA Cloud+ Certification (Exam CV0-003)

CompTIA Cloud+ is a global certification that validates the skills needed to deploy and automate secure cloud environments that support the high availability of business systems and data. It is ideal for cloud engineers who need to have expertise across multiple products and systems. CompTIA Cloud+ is the only cloud focused certification approved for DoD 8570.01-M, offering an infrastructure option for individuals who need to certify in IAM Level I, CSSP Analyst and CSSP Infrastructure Support roles.

Description

Overview

CompTIA Cloud+ shows employers you have the technical skills needed to secure cloud-based infrastructure services in the context of broader IT systems and covers concepts that apply across any, or even multiple, cloud environments. It also shows what you can do, not just what you know, for the work roles of Network Operations Specialist, Systems Administrator, Enterprise Architect and Security Architect. This course will also prepare you for the CompTIA Cloud+ certification exam CV0-003.

Migrating to the cloud presents opportunities to deploy, optimize, and protect mission critical applications and data storage. CompTIA Cloud+ validates the technical skills needed to secure these valuable assets. The reality of operating multi-cloud environments poses new challenges and Cloud+ is ideal for cloud engineers who need to have expertise across multiple products and systems. The major areas of emphasis in this course include:

  • Cloud architecture and design
  • Security within the cloud
  • Automation and virtualization
  • Disaster recovery
  • High availability
