CompTIA Cloud [Network] Plus Certifications
CompTIA releases new Cloud+ certification
The new, updated exam covers current cloud technologies and
how they are being deployed and used.
The technology industry trade, training and certification
association Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) announced
Wednesday the worldwide availability of a new CompTIA Cloud+ certification exam
as well as a suite of learning products associated with the new test. The
self-paced learning modules include live online training, custom training and
labs.
CompTIA is a provider of certifications for information
technology professionals. According to its website, to date, the association
has awarded over 2.5 million certifications in areas such as cybersecurity,
networking, cloud computing and technical support.
"Operating in a multi-cloud environment poses new
challenges and opportunities to deploy, optimize and protect mission critical
applications and data storage," said Randall Edwards, certification
product manager at CompTIA, in a press release. "CompTIA Cloud+ validates
the technical skills needed to secure these valuable assets. It is the only
performance-based IT certification that views cloud-based infrastructure
services in the context of broader IT systems operations regardless of platform
or vendor."
The U.S. Department of Defense has approved Cloud+ for its
Directive 8140/8570.01-M, which identifies certifications that its information
assurance and cybersecurity personnel and contractors must obtain. CompTIA
Cloud+ is also accredited by ANSI to show compliance with the ISO 17024
Standard.
According to the certification's webpage, it also offers an
infrastructure option for people who need to certify in IAM Level I, CSSP
Analyst and CSSP Infrastructure Support roles. The new CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-003
is available now.
CompTIA said candidates should have at least five years of
IT experience that includes systems administration or networking. They should
also hold CompTIA Network+ or CompTIA Server+ certifications or have the
equivalent knowledge. Understanding hypervisor technologies and cloud service
models also is recommended.
