Quick Navigation

Overview

Offering experience with AWS, Microsoft Azure and GCP, West's COMPTIA CLOUD+ GUIDE TO CLOUD COMPUTING, 2nd Edition, helps students and professionals alike master fundamental, vendor-independent cloud computing concepts. Updated content maps to the objectives of the CompTIA Cloud+ (CVO-003) exam, which has less emphasis on physical host configuration and more emphasis on cloud infrastructure, management and security. Each module in the new edition is packed with enriched features to maximize the learning experience, including self-check questions, group activities and capstone projects enabling students to strengthen their new skills and knowledge through real design and deployment scenarios. Live virtual machine labs, auto-graded quizzes, videos and hands-on projects in the MindTap digital learning platform also provide thorough preparation for the certification exam and career success.
