Thanks for this notice!

"The content of the CSSLP has been refreshed to reflect the most pertinent issues that cloud security professionals currently face, along with the best practices for mitigating those issues."

Cloud stuff is being added? On a hunch, changed the URL to CCSP and it seems they just copied some of the format, but forgot to change the "cloud" part.

Cloud is added and will be tested for sure.
if you look into the new exam outline

Section 2.4. Cross Border (e.g., data residency, jurisdiction, multi-national data processing boundaries)
Section 3.2 Define the Security Architecture
- Cloud architectures (e.g., Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS))

These are newly added bullet or section related to cloud which no surprise cloud will be added (otherwise don't need to add/update).
