What should you know before sitting for the CompTIA CV0-002 exam?

There are no official prerequisites set for the CompTIA CV0-002 exam. However, the candidates are recommended to have 2-3 years of working experience in system administration. It is also advised that they possess a good comprehension of Cloud service model definitions (Saas, Paas, IaaS), general definitions of a Cloud deployment model (hybrid, public, private), practical experience of operating with at least one public Cloud IaaS platform. Their competence in any core hypervisor technologies for server virtualization will be an added advantage.

What domains are included in the CompTIA CV0-002 exam?

To ace the CompTIA CV0-002 exam, the candidates need to make sure that they have a good grasp of its objectives. All the technical skills covered in the certification test can be grouped into five domains. The content of these topics as well as their weight are described below:

• Security (16%)

  Within this topic, the examinees must be able to implement security compliance and configurations controls to satisfy the specific Cloud infrastructure needs depending on a particular scenario; implement relevant ACL to the target objects to satisfy access needs according to a security template and depending on a particular scenario; impalement definite security technologies to satisfy the specific security needs depending on a Cloud service model; implement the relevant security automation method to the target system depending on a Cloud service model.

• Maintenance (18%)

  This domain covers the following skills: defining the relevant technique to implement the specific patches depending on a particular scenario; applying the relevant automation tools in order to upgrade Cloud components depending on a particular scenario; applying the relevant backup/restore technique depending on a particular scenario; applying the relevant disaster recovery technique depending on a particular Cloud-based scenario; applying the relevant steps to guarantee business continuity depending on a particular Cloud-based scenario; applying the relevant maintenance automation method to the target objects depending on a particular scenario.

• Configuration and Deployment (24%)

  This subject encompasses one’s skills, such as analyzing system needs to guarantee effective system deployment depending on a particular scenario; performing a given deployment plan depending on a particular scenario; analyzing system needs to define if a provided testing plan is suitable depending on a particular scenario; analyzing testing results to define if the testing was effective in regards to the specific system needs depending on a particular scenario; analyzing subnetting, basic routing, sizing for a given virtual network deployment depending on a particular scenario. Additionally, the students need to show that they are capable of analyzing memory and CPU sizing for a given deployment depending on a particular scenario; analyzing the relevant protection capability and storage type for a given deployment depending on a particular scenario; analyzing the workload characteristics (network, compute, storage) to guarantee an effective migration depending on a particular scenario; applying the elements necessary to extend infrastructure into the provided Cloud solution depending on a particular scenario.

• Troubleshooting (22%)

  Here the individuals need to prove that they possess expertise in troubleshooting a deployment problem depending on a particular scenario; troubleshooting general capacity problems depending on a particular scenario; troubleshooting automation/orchestration problems depending on a particular scenario; troubleshooting connectivity problems depending on a particular scenario; troubleshooting security problems depending on a particular scenario; describing the troubleshooting technique depending on a particular scenario.

• Management (20%)

  Here the learners should demonstrate their competency in analyzing defined metrics to identify the abnormality presence and/or predict future required Cloud resources depending on a particular scenario; defining the relevant allotment of Cloud resources depending on a scenario; defining when to provision or deprovision Cloud resources depending on a particular scenario. In addition, the test takers must be conversant with applying account provisioning methods within a Cloud environment to meet policy and security needs depending on a particular scenario; analyzing deployment consequences to prove they satisfy the baseline depending on a particular scenario; applying the relevant changes to meet desired criteria depending on a specific environment and related data (for instance, capacity, trends, performance); defining the relevant metrics to report depending on SLA requirements.

What is the CompTIA CV0-002 exam?

The CV0-002 certification test consists of 90 questions that are presented in the performance-based and multiple-choice formats. The time allocated for the completion of the exam is 90 minutes. The test is available in English and Japanese. It is delivered through Pearson VUE. You can choose from two options of exam delivery: an in-person session at a testing center or an online proctored exam that you can take from the comfort of your home/office. To register for CompTIA CV0-002, you need to pay the fee of $329. The passing score for this test is 750 on a scale of 100-900. Any mark lower than this figure will be considered a failure. If you pass the exam with high results, you will be awarded the CompTIA Cloud+ certificate that is valid for three years from the date of its attainment.
