The INF-104 Cloud Computing practice test trains you in the key concepts of cloud computing.

Why should I take the INF-104 Cloud Computing exam?

The INF-104 Cloud Computing certification presents you with the perfect opportunity to validate and show off your skills in the field of cloud computing to current and potential employers. The INF-104 exam tests your ability to identify and describe end solutions that make use of cloud technologies. As part of this, you will be tested on cloud governance, implementing the cloud development life cycle, determining whether a cloud solution is appropriate, developing cloud architecture, and managing cloud operations.

The INF-104 Cloud Computing practice test includes two different modes: certification and practice mode. Certification mode allows you to assess your knowledge and discover your weak areas, with practice mode allowing you to focus on the areas that need development.

System Requirements

A practice test is a realistic exam simulation whose objective is to prepare you better for what to expect on the real exam. A MeasureUp practice test contains around 150 questions covering each exam objective domain. Each MeasureUp practice test includes two specific test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification:Certification Mode and Practice Mode.

  • The Practice Mode provides users with the ability to highly customize their testing environment. They can determine how many questions they want to include in their assessment, the maximum time to complete the test, the possibility to randomize the question order, and select how and which questions will be shown in the test.
  • The Certification Mode simulates the actual testing environment users will interact with when taking a certification exam. They are timed and do not let users view the answers and explanations to questions until after the test.
