Per WGU's published description, Cloud Applications prepares learners for the CompTIA Cloud+ certification exam. Learners gain skills in designing cloud infrastructure and services and in recommending cloud security solutions, policies, and procedures. The course introduces skills in deploying cloud solutions for storage, networking, and security, and in managing cloud operations with processes, procedures, and improvements. Learners also gain skills in troubleshooting cloud services issues in networking, security, and performance. Five verbs, one lifecycle: design, recommend, deploy, manage, troubleshoot.
Four catalog tables carry D318. On the B.S. Cloud and Network Engineering it sits in term 7 of the General and Cisco tracks beside E027 Virtualization and IaaS and D337 Internet of Things (IoT) and Infrastructure. The AWS and Azure tracks do not take D318: the AWS table runs D282 Cloud Foundations instead, and the Azure table runs D303 Azure Fundamentals plus D338 Cloud Platform Solutions, so a Cloud+ forum post does not apply to those two tracks. On the B.S. Information Technology and the accelerated BSIT to MSIT path, D318 lands in term 6 beside E009 Web Design Fundamentals, D315 Network and Security - Foundations, and C957 Applied Algebra.
