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.
Course Objectives
- Cloud Architecture and Design
- Cloud Security
- Cloud Deployment
- Operations and Support
- Troubleshooting
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for IT professionals who wish to develop cloud computing skills to enable them to move IT workloads to the cloud and integrate products and services from different providers and industries. Their focus is to ensure that cloud deployments are secure, that automation and orchestration are used effectively to bring business value from the cloud, and that costs are controlled through effective management of cloud vendors.
This course is also designed for students who are preparing to take the CompTIA Cloud+ certification exam CV0-003, or who plan to use Cloud+ as the foundation for more advanced cloud certifications or career roles.
