The mass adoption of cloud technologies and services has revolutionized how we manage our IT and business ecosystems — placing cloud-related skills in high demand. Adopting a vendor-neutral approach, this course provides you with an understanding of essential cloud concepts needed to start or advance your career working with cloud technologies. You’ll leave with the knowledge required to pass your Cloud+ exam, the only cloud-focused certification approved for DoD 8570.01-M.

CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-004 provides the basic knowledge and skills needed to analyze, select, monitor, and protect cloud resources in a vendor-neutral format; this includes vulnerability management, network reconnaissance and monitoring, connecting networks to clouds, cloud migration, secure policies and procedures, host and network security, identity management systems, and incident response. This course maps to the CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-004 certification exam. Objective coverage is marked throughout the course.

This course assumes that students have some applied knowledge of computers, networks, and cybersecurity principles. Knowledge equivalent to the CompTIA Security+ certification is helpful but not necessary. (link to my Security+ course)
