The Alibaba Cloud Certified Cloud Computing Engineer - Associate Certification (exam code Cloud-ACA) is the exam you pass to earn the Alibaba Cloud Certified Associate (ACA) - Cloud Computing certification, a credential at the Associate level. It is also connected with related credentials such as Alibaba Cloud Certified Associate: Cloud Engineer, Alibaba Cloud Certified Professional: Cloud Architect, Alibaba Cloud Certified Expert: Solutions Architect. If you are mapping out a certification path with Alibaba, this exam is a milestone worth planning around.

The Cloud-ACA exam includes 50 questions, and you have 90 minutes to complete them. With that many questions on the clock, pacing is part of the challenge: divide your time into rough blocks as you go, and flag the items that stall you so you can circle back at the end instead of burning minutes on a single question. A week or two before your exam date, sit at least one full timed session in the LatestCram test engine under the same time limit, so the pace feels familiar rather than frantic on the day.

You need 70/100 to pass the Cloud-ACA exam, and the official registration fee is USD 200 (legacy international exam pricing; current version pricing may differ by region and purchase channel). That fee is due again in full for every retake, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper investment by far. Before you book your seat, test yourself with the LatestCram practice questions until you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on a consistent basis — it is the simplest way to avoid paying for the same exam twice.

No mandatory prerequisite exam is publicly specified. The certification is intended for beginners and associate-level cloud practitioners.

Eligibility rules can be adjusted by Alibaba over time, so before you register, confirm the current requirements on the official exam page: view the official Cloud-ACA exam information.
