How to Prepare for CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002)

Preparation Guide for CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002)

Introduction for CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002)

CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ is for both IT and non-technical professionals who require the essential business acumen needed to make informed cloud service decisions. CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ is the only internationally recognized, vendor-neutral certification utilizing key business principles and fundamental cloud concepts that validate data-driven cloud recommendations. It stands alone in this field by demonstrating that all necessary staff members - not just the IT specialists - understand how to increase efficiency, manage costs, and reduce security risks for organizations whenever tasked with making current cloud technology decisions.

CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ validates the candidate has the knowledge and skills required to make clear and conscious decisions about cloud technologies and their business impact by evaluating business use cases, financial impacts, cloud technologies and deployment models with knowledge of cloud computing.

Business analysts and IT pros alike are consistently called upon to assist their organization in determining which cloud service provider(s) to use, what to migrate to the cloud, and when to implement. Collecting and analyzing cloud products and services information is essential when making operational cloud business decisions.

Cloud Essentials+ is an entry-level, cloud certification offered by CompTIA. As with all CompTIA certifications, Cloud Essentials+ is a vendor-neutral credential that's relevant independent of which vendor or private cloud service is used. It's an excellent stepping-stone to vendor-specific cloud certs offered by AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP.

Unlike CompTIA's Cloud+ certification, which is designed for IT technical professionals, Cloud Essentials+ is targeted primarily toward non-technical personnel. The cert aims to validate individuals' understanding of cloud design principles, how to assess the applicability of cloud services, the implications of operating cloud services, and the related risk and compliance issues.

The financial and operational impacts covered by Cloud Essentials+ ensure an ability to develop and implement solid cloud strategies. CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ will show that successful candidates:

  • Have the knowledge and understanding of the foundational business and technical components included in a cloud assessment
  • Comprehend new technology concepts, solutions, and benefits to an organization
  • Understand specific security concerns and measures
