About the Flashcards
Flashcards for the CompTIA Cloud+ exam provide a focused set of acronym and concept reviews to reinforce core terminology. The deck covers networking protocols (IP, TCP, DNS, BGP), cloud and service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, VPC, AZ), and security fundamentals (CVE, CVSS, IDS, WAF, MFA, TLS) presented as concise front/back cards for quick recall.
Students can use these cards to master infrastructure and storage vocabulary-RAID, SAN, NAS, VM, vCPU, NVMe-and operational and development concepts such as CI/CD, IaC, API, REST, JSON. The set also highlights compliance and standards acronyms like GDPR, PCI, ISO, and SOC2 to support targeted exam review.
Topics covered in this flashcard deck:
- Networking protocols
- Cloud services and models
- Security and risk
- Storage and virtualization
- DevOps and APIs
- Compliance and standards
