West's COMPTIA CLOUD+ GUIDE TO CLOUD COMPUTING, 2nd Edition, prepares you for certification exam and career success. Fully updated content maps to objectives of the CompTIA Cloud+ (CVO-003) exam, which now has less emphasis on physical host configuration and more emphasis on cloud infrastructure, management and security. Each module in the second edition is packed with enriching features such as self-check questions, group activities and capstone projects that enable you to sharpen your new skills and knowledge through real design and deployment scenarios. You also can work with three popular cloud platforms: AWS (Amazon Web Services), Microsoft Azure and GCP (Google Cloud Platform). Live virtual machine labs, auto-graded quizzes, videos and hands-on projects in the MindTap digital learning platform provide additional preparation to maximize your success on the exam and well beyond.
