Summary
Content maps to the exam objectives from the latest CompTIA Cloud+ Exam, CV0-002. Modules are broken down into multiple modalities such as readings, videos, and hands-on projects that walk learners through various popular Cloud platforms, including AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. The course begins with a pre-assessment and ends with a post-assessment helping learners build confidence and track their progress. Learners will work with OpenStack in the live virtual machine labs to provide hands-on practice and troubleshoot, practice, explore, and try different solutions in a secure, private Cloud sandbox environment.
