About the exam

CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) validates skills for managing multi-cloud environments including cloud architecture, security, deployment, operations, DevOps fundamentals, and troubleshooting. It's vendor-neutral, covering concepts across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

CV0-004 is the first CompTIA certification to include a DevOps domain, reflecting the convergence of cloud operations and development practices. It bridges vendor-specific cloud certs and foundational IT knowledge, ideal for IT professionals transitioning to cloud roles.

What's on the exam

Up to 90 questions in 90 minutes with multiple choice and performance-based questions (PBQs). PBQs simulate cloud management scenarios like configuring IaC templates, managing containers, setting up CI/CD pipelines, or troubleshooting connectivity. Passing score is 750 on a 100-900 scale.

Cloud Architecture and Design 13%

Where candidates struggle

Cloud+ tests multi-cloud concepts, not vendor-specific implementations. Candidates who only know one cloud platform may struggle with vendor-neutral terminology. The new DevOps Fundamentals domain catches candidates off guard if they lack CI/CD and source control experience. PBQs require hands-on familiarity with cloud CLIs and configuration.
