What CCAC emphasizes (in one paragraph)

Expect scenario questions about Confluent Cloud resource model (organizations → environments → clusters), security (service accounts, API keys, RBAC), networking (public endpoints vs PrivateLink/peering, allowlists), Stream Governance (Catalog + schema discipline), managed connectors, and Cluster Linking for multi-region/multi-cloud architectures. The exam rewards operators who choose the safest operational option with least blast radius.
