The rapid growth of cloud computing has created excellent opportunities for those with advanced skills in cloud-related computing. Recognizing this opportunity, CompTIA created the Cloud+ Certification, an exam and certification that validates cloud-specific competencies. This 100% online course will teach you key concepts and skills required to build, maintain and optimize cloud infrastructure services. Topics include virtualization, infrastructure, troubleshooting, resource management, security, systems management and business continuity.
Contrasting cloud services and delivery models; object storage concepts
Install, configure, and manage virtual machines and devices; benefits of virtualization in a cloud environment
Storage technologies, configuration concepts and provisioning; network configuration, optimization and troubleshooting basic connectivity issues
Resource monitoring techniques; best practices for allocating physical host resources and virtual guest resources
Network security concepts, tools and best practices; identifying access control methods and implementing guest and host hardening techniques
Disaster recovery methods and concepts; deploying solutions to meet availability requirements
There are no prerequisites to take the course. However, CompTIA recommends holding the CompTIA A+ and CompTIA Network+ certifications, or equivalent experience, before taking the Cloud+ certification exam.
By course completion, you will be fully prepared to take and pass the CompTIA Cloud+ certification exam. Cloud+ integrates cloud computing skills across multi-vendor platforms, especially the movement of databases, systems and applications to the various cloud platforms. The exam focuses on system administration tasks not limited by specific vendor functions or features.
Students are supported by both an assigned instructor and assigned advisor throughout the duration of the course. Students receive contact information for both upon enrollment and all communication is handled via email. Students should allow up to two business days for responses.
