CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) Training in Norway

To ensure your success in this course, you should have systems administration skills comprising 2–3 years' experience. CompTIA Network+ and Server+ certification, or the equivalent knowledge, is strongly recommended.

• Understand cloud concepts
• Plan and design a cloud environment
• Administer cloud resources
• Manage cloud storage
• Manage networks in the cloud
• Secure and troubleshoot networks in the cloud
• Manage cloud migrations and troubleshoot cloud deployments
• Manage cloud automation and orchestration
• Understand cloud security concepts
• Manage cloud security

• Manage cloud maintenance
• Implement high availability and disaster recovery in the cloud

The Official CompTIA Cloud+ Guide (Exam CV0-004) is the primary course you will need to take if your job responsibilities include cloud architecture and deployment, optimization, and cloud security within your organization. You can take this course to prepare for the CompTIA Cloud+ (Exam CV0-004) certification examination - available separately.
