If you are expecting someone who passed the exam to give you a detailed breakdown of how many cloud computing questions they saw on the exam - don't hold your breath. It should be obvious that is prohibited by the NDA.

If that's not what your asking for and just want to know if cloud computing is covered, the answer is yes. Have you reviewed the CIB? That should have been the first place you looked. If you don't know what the CIB is, time to do some research.

Everything within the ten domains is testable. There will be a domain refresh effective 15-April-2015 so there could be more or less on cloud computing then

. When do you plan on taking the exam?

Shon Harris AIO 6th Ed has about three pages on the subject. ISC2 CBK 3rd Ed has about four.

Why limit it to cloud? just asks us what questions we got on the entire test!!

Read Shon Harris cover to cover and you will have more than enough information to pass the test. Good luck.

Put all of that in one post? No way! I think there should be a separate thread started for every topic requesting to know what will be asked on that particular section.

From my study experiences (haven' taken the test yet), it seems like the main concepts are centered around:

- machine learning (understand knowledge base and inference engine)
- IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS
- neural network
- Regulatory and liability concerns with using a third-party cloud provider

Didn't think it was, I think we're just driving the point across that violation of the NDA is a big deal. The refresh on 4-15 is suppose to update the CBK to be more modern, here's an excerpt from (ISC)2's website:

Refreshed technical content has been added to the Official (ISC)² CISSP CBK to reflect the most current topics in the information security industry today. Some topics have been expanded (e.g., asset security, security assessment and testing), while other topics have been realigned under different domains.

This could have more implication as to including cloud, but it's hard to be sure. The new Official (ISC)2 Study Guide does have the refreshed info in it, so might be a good resource for you to get to know what you're getting into.

It is so simple to find it out. Take a look at CIB and study Official CISSP Study Guide (my prefer)
