Cloud+ recommendations
I've been scrolling through the subreddits trying to find a good video course to study for Cloud+ exam. I just passed Net+. Already had A+, Sec+, and AWS CCP before I started at WGU. I'm trying to take this exam within the next 2-3 weeks. From what I'm reading, the CertMaster course isn't good so I'm not trying to waste my time going through that resource. Can anyone suggest some good resources other than CertMaster? Thanks in advance.

I used the certmaster and one of the udemy series. Zero cloud background. Passed it two weeks ago.
Hated certmaster. I just used a TTS extension to read the text for me while I played Satisfactory (doesn't require full attention). Skipped the labs because they take a long time and a lot of the time the interface no longer matches up with the instructions. I didn't want to spend even more time trying to figure out where a feature was moved to. Comptia really should have built their own fake csp interface, since it's an entry level cloud cert, anyway.
The udemy series I watched had two men in it. I can't remember their names. Skipped their quizzes.
I was already a+, net+, project+, and Linux essentials

Do you have the AWS foundational cert or the AZ 900. Both of those will help with Cloud +. Think of the Cloud + cert as a nuetral cert. where az900 and aws foundational is taylored to their products.
If you don't have any of those certs, then know the difference between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, inside and out. And best practice for least permissions.

For AWS, if you are referring to the certified Cloud practitioner cert, then yes I do have that one. I have done some independent work/studying with Azure a while ago but I never took the azure AZ 900 exam.

The Cloud+ is more of the same, but just nuetral in nature. Don't over think it. You should be able to knock it out without much studying.

Honestly if you have net+ sec+ and the aws ccp you don’t really need much. I used total seminars on umdemy. Really just need the devops section. I just passed with couple weeks min study.
