NHN Cloud Associate study guide

NHN Cloud Associate · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

The NHN Cloud Associate credential is aimed at cloud engineers, platform operators, and solution architects who work with NHN Cloud's integrated cloud service portfolio. NHN Cloud describes itself as a cloud platform offering compute, container, network, storage, database, monitoring, hybrid and private cloud, game, security, content delivery, notification, AI, machine learning, application, search, data and analytics, dev tools, management, bill, collaboration, contact center, and governance and audit service categories. Candidates should be comfortable with core infrastructure concepts and with the service names and purposes that appear in the NHN Cloud catalog, because the exam domains - Compute, Container, Network, Storage, and Database - map directly onto that catalog. For example, the Compute category lists Instance, GPU Instance, Cloud Functions, Instance Template, Image, Image Builder, Auto Scale, and Virtual Desktop; the Container category lists NHN Kubernetes Service (NKS), NHN Container Registry (NCR), and NHN Container Service (NCS); the Network category spans VPC, Network Interface, Flow Log, Floating IP, Network ACL, Security Groups, Load Balancer, Load Balancer (DSR), NAT Instance, Transit Hub, Internet Gateway, Peering Gateway, Colocation Gateway, NAT Gateway, VPN Gateway, Service Gateway, Traffic Mirroring, Private DNS, DNS Plus, and Direct Connect; the Storage category covers Block Storage, NAS, NAS (offline), NAS for BigData, Object Storage, Backup, Data Transporter, and Storage Gateway; and the Database category includes RDS for MySQL, RDS for PostgreSQL, RDS for MariaDB, RDS for MS-SQL, EasyCache, the various DBMS Instances, and Database Migration Service. The NHN Cloud Associate study guide has 5 sections and about 1,686 words.

01

Compute

This section covers NHN Cloud Compute: how instances are created, sized, accessed, scaled, and imaged. The exam checks whether you can choose the right compute resource and reason about lifecycle and networking dependencies.

02

Container

Domain 2 covers containers on NHN Cloud: Container Registry for images and Kubernetes Service (NKS) for orchestration. The exam tests image lifecycle, cluster placement, node pools, and service exposure.

338 words, about 2 min
03

Network

Domain 3 covers NHN Cloud networking: VPC design, subnets, routing, gateways, security, and load balancing. The exam checks whether traffic can actually flow from source to destination.

346 words, about 2 min
04

Storage

Domain 4 covers NHN Cloud storage options: Block Storage, Object Storage, NAS, and Archive Storage. The exam tests matching workload requirements to storage behavior and durability.

329 words, about 2 min
05

Database

Domain 5 covers NHN Cloud managed databases: RDS for MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL, plus Cloud DB for Redis. The exam tests managed-service boundaries: what the platform handles and what you still must configure.
