Earn the highest NetApp Hybrid Cloud credential — validating your ability to analyze customer requirements, position, and design NetApp Hybrid Cloud solutions on AWS, Azure, or GCP — covering cloud storage portfolio, hybrid architecture, business continuity, networking, sizing, security, and proof-of-concept facilitation.
The NS0-602 exam earns the NetApp Certified Hybrid Cloud Architect credential — the highest-level NetApp Hybrid Cloud certification. It validates the knowledge, skills, and ability to analyze business requirements, position, and design NetApp Hybrid Cloud solutions that satisfy customer requirements on one of the three major public cloud providers: AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Candidates must hold at least one hyperscaler certification (AWS SAA-C03, Azure AZ-104/AZ-305, or GCP ACE) and are expected to have completed the NetApp Hybrid Cloud Professional Administration training. This architect-level credential is designed for cloud architects, pre-sales consultants, and senior technical staff who design comprehensive hybrid cloud solutions for enterprise customers, including proof-of-concept facilitation, conceptual design, and future-proof architecture planning.
Analyze and determine business requirements — assess customer workload needs, cloud cost management considerations, and identify appropriate NetApp cloud solutions based on business, technical, and compliance requirements
Design with NetApp Hybrid Cloud solutions — position and architect solutions using the NetApp Cloud Storage portfolio (CVO, ANF, FSx for ONTAP, CVS), Cloud Services portfolio (BlueXP, Cloud Sync, Cloud Backup), and Cloud Controls portfolio
Design hybrid cloud architecture — identify and integrate architectural components including connectivity (ExpressRoute, Direct Connect, Interconnect), landing zones, naming conventions, and network topology for NetApp hybrid cloud deployments
Design for business continuity and data protection — architect solutions for availability (SnapMirror, SnapMirror Active Sync) and durability (cloud backup, tiering, cross-region replication) for enterprise hybrid cloud workloads
Design hybrid cloud networking — specify networking requirements for NetApp cloud services, design hybrid cloud network topologies (hub-and-spoke, transit VPC, private endpoints), and address firewall and security group requirements
Size and scale hybrid cloud solutions — assess workload characteristics, match NetApp hybrid cloud storage tiers to performance and capacity requirements, and design for future scale and cost optimization
Design for security — specify control planes, address security considerations (encryption, key management, RBAC, audit logging) for hybrid cloud environments, and select appropriate NetApp security controls
