CompTIA Cloud+ validates the skills you need 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.

Exam Details Exam Codes CV0-002 CV1-003 (Beta)
Launch Date February 9, 2018 July 14, 2020
Exam Description CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) reflects an emphasis on incorporating and managing
cloud technologies as part of broader systems operations. It assumes a candidate
will weave together solutions that meet specific business needs and work in a
variety of different industries.
It includes new technologies to support the changing cloud market as more
organizations depend on cloud-based technologies to run mission critical
systems, now that hybrid and multi-cloud have become the norm. CompTIA Cloud+
ensures IT infrastructure specialists develop multi-vendor skills related to
cloud computing, including the movement of applications, databases, workflows,
and systems to the cloud. By addressing system architecture, security,
deployment, operations, and automation, Cloud+ aims to prepare system
administrators to perform the tasks required of their job, not just to rely on a
narrow set of vendor-specific product features and functions.
Career growth continues to boom in the infrastructure space as more workers
telecommute and businesses move to off-premises cloud solutions. The new CompTIA
Cloud+ (CV1-003), which will be available in 2021, reflects these changes with
an increased focus on the skills needed to make the cloud more secure and
available. Here’s what you need to know about the new CompTIA Cloud+ and the
beta exam, available now.
How Is the New CompTIA Cloud+ Different?
While still covering the foundational aspects of cloud technology emphasized in
CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002), the refreshed offering expands in two important areas
– security and high-availability.
The new CompTIA Cloud+ covers in greater depth the skills and abilities needed
to secure the cloud, validating that candidates have the hands-on experience
needed to secure environments regardless of the vendor solution.
In addition to validating the technical security skills cloud engineers need,
the exam continues to highlight the importance of compliance requirements – a
key function in today’s ever-changing regulatory world.
The refreshed CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) also includes an entire objective
dedicated to high-availability – the goal of ensuring around-the-clock access to
all your data and software as a service (SaaS) applications. This highlights the
move toward cloud-hosted solutions throughout enterprise and small-business.
CompTIA recognizes that in a work-from-home world, it is critical for remote
employees to have secure, uninterrupted access to data, applications and the
solutions that allow business to succeed. CompTIA Cloud+ validates the skills
and abilities that make this possible.
Overall, the CompTIA Cloud+ exam tests candidates in the following areas of
cloud computing: Cloud architecture and design
Securing the cloud
Automation and virtualization
Optimization of cloud environments
Disaster recovery
You can download the new exam objectives here.
The Importance of Multi-Vendor Cloud Skills
I heard from an IT industry vice president recently that mergers and
acquisitions were starting to “take off again.” The effect of this is that if a
large enterprise running Amazon Web Services (AWS) acquires two or three smaller
organizations running Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, then cloud engineers
would need to understand not just the vendor platform, but the technical
underpinnings of the cloud itself so they could work between all the elements of
the full cloud stack.
Some enterprises might run multiple infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platforms
for years, requiring staff to be able to operate between the major platforms. IT
pros who have CompTIA Cloud+ understand the danger of vendor lock-in, and this
certification validates they have the skills and knowledge to work across
multi-vendor systems.
CompTIA Cloud+ is intended as a mid-career certification, for IT pros with 2 to
3 years of systems administration experience.
Cloud Smart and DoD Proven
CompTIA Cloud+ has been adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to
ensure that its personnel and contractors are appropriately trained. In February
2020, CompTIA Cloud+ met the DoD Manual 8570.01 requirements for those who work
with sensitive information and need to satisfy specific job requirements.
The DoD approved CompTIA Cloud+ for three vital workforce categories:
Information Assurance Manager Level I (IAM I)
Cybersecurity Service Provider Infrastructure Support (CSSP-IS)
CSSP Analyst (CSSP-A)
In addition to these workforce categories, CompTIA Cloud+ aligns with the U.S.
Government Cloud Smart initiative. The cloud is about creating continuously
updated, secure and highly available solutions – all of which are key components
of the new CompTIA Cloud+ exam and illustrate the need for a security-first
mindset that allows for flexible implementations of new technologies.
Take the CompTIA Cloud+ Beta Exam For a limited time, qualified candidates can register to take the newly
updated CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) beta exam for the discounted price of $50 USD.
The beta exam will be available for a limited number of candidates, and the
formal exam release will occur in the second quarter of 2021. This marks the
first time ever that a CompTIA beta exam will be offered through online testing.
To take the CompTIA Cloud+ beta exam, you’ll need the following qualifications:
Systems administrators, network engineers and cloud engineers with two to three
years of hands-on experience
Familiarity with a major hypervisor
Hands-on experience using one of the major IaaS platforms
CompTIA Network+ and Server+ are recommended
Registration for the beta is available through Pearson VUE and can be found
using exam code CV1-003. Registration is now open and will be available for a
limited number of registrants. Be sure to register and take your exam as early
as possible so you don't miss out – the exam is expected to close by October
2020 but may close early if the spots are filled. You must login to your Pearson
VUE account in order to register for the beta exam.

Exam contents
This exam has 55 questions. Here are types of questions to expect:
Discrete Option Multiple Choice
Advice to help you take this exam
Complete the training and review all course materials and documents before you
take the exam.
Use HPE Press study guides and additional reference materials; study guides,
practice tests, and HPE books.
Exam items are based on expected knowledge acquired from job experience, an
expected level of industry standard knowledge, or other prerequisites (events,
supplemental materials, etc.).
Successful completion of the course or study materials alone, does not ensure
you will pass the exam.
What to Expect with Discrete Option Multiple Choice (DOMC) exams:
This exam uses the DOMC question format. It is quite different than traditional
multiple choice exams. It is designed to increase exam fairness, to protect exam
integrity, your exam scores and your time.
How is DOMC different? Instead of presenting all the answer options together at one time, DOMC
questions present answer options one at a time, at random
When an answer option is presented, you select either Yes or No to indicate if
the option is correct or not. This process repeats until the question concludes
You may see more than one correct option
You may receive as few as one option for each test question or several options
Once you move forward, you may not go back and change your response to a
previous option
We created an HPE sample test to help you practice using this DOMC test format.
During registration, you will be asked to confirm that you have completed the
HPE DOMC sample test and understand how this exam will perform.
Become acquainted with DOMC:

DOMC FAQs
Be sure to complete the supporting resources and review all materials and
documents before you take the exam. Successful completion of the supporting
resources alone does not ensure you will pass the exam.
