Why is CompTIA Linux+ Different?
CompTIA Linux+ is vendor neutral, meaning that the knowledge and skills you learn can be used to perform various job roles regardless of the specific programs, tools or distributions being used. Compare this to vendor-specific certifications, which equip you to work with just one platform.
CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005: What’s in this version
The new CompTIA Linux+ exam objectives have been completely revamped to reflect where the technology is going for private and commercial purposes and to test the actual usage and administrative tasks common to nearly all Linux distributions. The skills this exam tests are in high demand by employers, as proved by the latest Linux Foundation Research.
So, what’s new in CompTIA Linux+?
The following subject areas have been added:
- Given a scenario, perform basic container operations
- Summarize common infrastructure as code technologies.
- Given a scenario, use a process to diagnose and resolve common problems with a Linux system.
However, all topics have been touched on and updated to ensure the test better reflects the skills needed by today’s professionals.
In addition, the CompTIA Linux+ exam XK0-005 objectives have been streamlined, and the test now covers four domains (whereas XK0-004 had five) in which topics have been redistributed.
