CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-001 In Depth 1st Edition

Older book with deep dive info, very helpful

I passed

The book is okay but it gets alittle too verbose at times. Like it'll start explaining a new concept but by the end of the paragraph, it's explained about 4 new concepts in addition to the first one. Some of the stuff in the book was new to me so it just wasn't a good way to try to learn. Also some of the test answers aren't accurate. I could read one thing in the summary. Take the chapter test, get a question wrong then look back at the summary and know that it was the right answer but the answer key said it was some other answer that was clearly wrong.I would advise anyone to studying to use another book FIRST, then when you understand cloud more, come back to this book. It was alittle easier the second time thru after I had alittle more knowledge under my belt. AND ignore the tests all together. I've found incorrect answers on more than one occasion. Also the book explains things that aren't even on the test. I don't know why it's in the book. Like I said, it's too verbose at times and it over complicates things and brings in info that you don't need to know.

This is a first edition and it shows. I took a gamble and ordered this one because it was the latest release so I assumed it was the most complete option. The content is solid and thorough, but it is littered with typographical errors and contains contradictory statements at times. I am about 40% into the book and plan to continue but the latest annoyance that prompted me to review was a section that described a topic with a color-based analogy, and was accompanied by a black and white diagram. It is not so much an issue for me, but for someone else approaching this text and certification with little practical experience to help them spot the errors they would have a much more difficult time than necessary preparing for the exam.

This was a good study guide. As usual when working on certifications you should never rely on just one study guide. I used this study guide and a couple others and passed the exam on the first attempt. If you have not worked in a cloud and/or virtualization environment this is a challenging certification, but certainly doable. I knew some cloud basics going into this, but have never worked in a cloud environment. This book is worth the read. The one piece of advice I leave, is remember that CompTIA exams are vendor neutral. I recommend not spending much time on learning specific vendor platforms that are covered in the book. You will not be tested at all on what you know with VMware, Salesforce, Microsoft Hyper-V and etc...

great book
