CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-001: Managing Cloud Systems

Course details

• An important part of managing a cloud is ensure it is performing optimally. To do this, the network and storage need to be planned out and documented correctly and the VM host needs to be monitored for any performance issues. In this course you'll learn how to plan and document cloud policies and procedures, as well as how to monitor the VM host for performance issues and perform testing in the cloud. This course is one in a series of Skillsoft courses in the learning path that covers the objectives for the CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-001 certification exam.
