NAVER Cloud Platform Certified Professional study guide
NAVER Cloud Platform Certified Professional · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The NAVER Cloud Platform Certified Professional is a vendor credential for engineers who design, operate, and secure workloads on NAVER Cloud Platform (NCP). It suits cloud architects, platform and DevOps engineers, and consultants who already work hands-on with NCP and want independent proof of depth rather than an introductory badge. The NAVER Cloud Platform Certified Professional study guide has 8 sections and about 2,584 words.
01NAVER Cloud Platform Fundamentals and Architecture
This domain tests whether you understand how NAVER Cloud Platform is assembled: account hierarchy, the region/zone model, the VPC-centric network design, and how console, API, CLI and SDKs expose the same resources. Questions are usually scenario wrappers - choose a region layout, an account model, or a resource dependency order.
358 words, about 2 min02Compute (Server, Kubernetes Service, Container Registry)
This domain covers virtual machines, managed Kubernetes (NKS) and the private image registry. Expect questions on bootstrapping a server (login key, init script, image), resizing and snapshots, and on how NKS clusters sit inside a VPC.
365 words, about 2 min03Storage and Database Services
Questions test which storage class fits a workload and how managed databases handle backup, failover and scaling. Object Storage is S3-compatible and bucket-based, used for static content, backups and data lakes.
322 words, about 2 min04Networking (VPC, Load Balancer, DNS, CDN, VPN)
This domain checks that you can build a segmented VPC and pick the right traffic path: Internet Gateway, NAT Gateway, Load Balancer, DNS/GSLB, CDN and VPN. A VPC holds subnets; a subnet is public if its route table points to an Internet Gateway.
349 words, about 2 min05Security and Identity (IAM, Security Monitoring, Key Management)
Expect least-privilege policy design, key management, and detection/response controls. IAM has a main account, sub accounts, groups and policies.
318 words, about 2 min06Management, Monitoring, and Automation
This domain tests observability, auditability and repeatable operations. Cloud Insight collects metrics and renders dashboards; Event Rules turn thresholds into notifications or actions.
281 words, about 1 min07Application Services and AI/Data Platform
This domain covers managed application services and the AI/data products you would wire into an application. CLOVA Studio exposes generative AI models (including HyperCLOVA X) through APIs and a console for prompt and agent development; calls are authenticated with IAM credentials and are subject to quotas.
291 words, about 1 min08Migration, Hybrid, and Cost/Operational Excellence
This domain tests how workloads move to NCP, how they stay connected to on-premises, and how cost is controlled. Migration patterns: rehost by exporting a VM image or rebuilding with init scripts; replatform databases into Cloud DB using dump/restore or replication; move object data with CLI/API sync, and check whether an offline transfer option fits very large datasets.
