CompTIA Cloud+, Part 8 of 8: Disaster Recovery

Course description

Discover the importance of business continuity and disaster recovery, the ability to recover or restore service after a disaster has occurred, by examining various recovery methods involving backups, the implementation of redundant systems and automatic failover, and, in many cases, high availability mechanisms. Learn about individual differences between high availability and disaster recovery, and the methods utilized in both cases, so that you can deploy cloud-based solutions that are highly available as well as able to be restored efficiently in the event of a disaster.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course assumes you are familiar with the basic concepts of cloud computing, either from completing CompTIA Cloud+ Parts 1-7 or through outside study.
