CompTIA Cloud+

Learning Objectives

CompTIA Cloud+ validates the skills you need to maintain and optimize cloud infrastructure services.

• Cloud+ covers the increased diversity of knowledge, skills, and abilities required of system administrators to validate what is necessary to perform effectively in data center jobs.
• CompTIA Cloud+ views cloud-based infrastructure services as an increasingly important piece of an organization’s IT systems.
• It is the only vendor-neutral, performance-based certification covering more than a specific vendor or a single function — such as security or networking — to help you better realize the return on investment of cloud infrastructure services.
