CompTIA A+ Core 1: Cloud Computing Concepts

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Cloud computing allows users to store and access data and programs over the internet instead of a local hard drive. In this course, explore cloud computing concepts such as cloud model types, resource sharing, measure service, and virtual desktops. Discover the features of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS); and learn how to differentiate between public, private, hybrid, and community cloud infrastructures. Discover key differences between internal and external shared resources and explore rapid elasticity, a feature that allows for scalable provisioning. Finally, examine the considerations and benefits of using a measured service or a metered service and investigate the types of virtual desktops and their purposes. This course will prepare learners for the CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) certification.
