CompTIA Cloud+

Overview

Acquire the skills to evaluate, implement, and maintain cloud computing solutions. While IT Professionals today are expected to understand some basic cloud terminology and concepts and have likely worked with public cloud or Software-as-a-Service solutions, the ability to analyse, evaluate, design, and test cloud computing solutions are hard skills to find and are in high demand. In this programme, you will apply the skills required to evaluate and implement standard deployments. You will implement, maintain, and deliver cloud technologies including network, storage, and virtualisation technologies to create cloud solutions.

You will manage workload migrations, manage cloud vendors to control costs, use automation and orchestration to bring business value from cloud solutions and ensure the security of cloud implementations through the use of cybersecurity best practices.

In addition, this programme prepares you to pass the CompTIA® Cloud+® exam and earn the corresponding certification.
