CompTIA Cloud+ Certification Detail

CompTIA Cloud+ validates the skills needed 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. 

CompTIA Cloud+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US DoD to meet directive 8570.01-M requirements.
