Overview of the C90-02A Cloud Technology Concepts Exam
C90-02A evaluates Cloud Architects and IT professionals on foundational cloud computing mechanisms, architectural patterns, and service models. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in virtualization hypervisors, multi-tenant resource pooling, and elastic horizontal or vertical scaling protocols. The curriculum mandates deep understanding of SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS delivery models alongside cloud-native governance, including resource reservation, automated cloud bursting, and failover redundancy. Technical mastery requires assessing cloud storage devices, logical network perimeters, and service-level agreement metrics. Furthermore, the exam validates the ability to integrate cloud-based infrastructure components, manage identity and access management security frameworks, and optimize workload distribution across heterogeneous distributed computing environments.
