HCIA-Cloud study guide
HCIA-Cloud · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
HCIA-Cloud (Huawei Certified ICT Associate – Cloud) is an associate-level certification in Huawei's career certification track, which the Huawei Talent portal lists under its Certification menu alongside Specialist Certification, the Documentation Center, Certification News and Certification Courses. Candidates typically reach it through the Learning and Certification Service pages that Huawei Enterprise exposes in its Learning and Tech Support navigation. The certification is aimed at engineers starting a cloud career: data center and infrastructure staff moving toward cloud roles, pre-sales and implementation engineers who deploy or operate Huawei cloud infrastructure, and students at Huawei ICT Academies preparing for entry-level cloud jobs. Because the associate tier sits below professional and expert levels, it rewards breadth of understanding over deep specialization. The HCIA-Cloud study guide has 5 sections and about 1,625 words.
01Cloud Computing Fundamentals
This HCIA-Cloud domain tests how well you can explain cloud characteristics, service and deployment models, and the Huawei Cloud resource hierarchy. Expect questions that ask you to classify a workload rather than recite definitions.
342 words, about 2 min02Huawei Cloud Computing Products and Solutions
This domain tests Huawei Cloud product selection: compute, storage, network, database, and management services, and how they fit together in a solution. ECS is a virtual server; BMS is bare metal; IMS stores private images; AS adds and removes ECS instances from a scaling group.
332 words, about 2 min03Cloud Computing Technology Fundamentals
This domain tests the technology under the services: virtualization, storage, networking, containers, and high availability. Questions often ask why a design works, not which product name to pick.
336 words, about 2 min04Huawei Cloud Computing Operations and Maintenance
This domain tests day-2 operations on Huawei Cloud: monitoring, alarms, logging, auditing, scaling, backup, and routine maintenance. CES (Cloud Eye) collects metrics and triggers alarms; OS-level metrics such as memory and disk need the Telescope agent installed on ECS.
304 words, about 2 min05Huawei Cloud Computing Security
This domain tests Huawei Cloud security: shared responsibility, identity, network controls, data protection, and managed security services. Shared responsibility : Huawei Cloud secures the infrastructure; the customer secures identities, configurations, data, and guest OS.
