Cloud Academy: My Goto Knowledge Platform

We are using Cloud Academy to prepare our transition to the cloud. It has been a tremendous resource with learning paths for all 3 major cloud providers and training programs for related cloud technology. I really feel the urge to spend a lot of time with the training courses. Thank you for designing such a wonderful knowledge platform!

PROS

Cloud Academy has opened the doors for me to step into the vast domain of Cloud Computing. The course-ware has a vast array of well selected training programs at various levels such that even beginners can easily navigate the courses and gain real knowledge. I especially like the Dashboard feature that shows where I am in my journey, how I have fared in the tests and what is my learning path. The course videos are well made, of good quality and are followed up with relevant tests. There are even hands-on labs where you get to interact with actual cloud resources. Also, it was very easy to integrate with existing processes.Overall, I could not have asked for anything better.

CONS

I personally feel that the DevOps module could be made more concise to keep the user's focus. Other than that everything looks pretty solid.

Vendor Response

Hi Partha, what an amazing review: thank you so much!

Most cost-effective learning platform

PROS

Training plan layouts are really useful and good to help me track my individual goals. The virtual lab environments save me a TON of time dealing with setting things up in AWS when I want to learn something there, and not have to deal with billing after the fact.

CONS

The only con I have is Id like to see more python labs to help with intermediate learning.

Reasons for switching to Cloud Academy

acloudguru was mostly marketing and a lot of fluff once you got into the service. They seem to try and create high production videos but with less actual technical content that you care about.

Vendor Response

Hi Warren, thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review! Keep on training!

Best place to learn cloud and prep for your certification

PROS

Well balanced content to cover cloud service in depth and summize at a higher level for solution building. Also extremely good for your preparation of cloud certification - I tried many different cloud training sites before I settled with Cloud Academy, which is the best with efficient content and superb customer support. The right mix of lecture, hands-on lab and exam help me to fit the learning in my busy schedule and allow me to finish certification exam prep in relative short time (~ 3months for AWS Solution Architect Certificate - Assoc). The CA simulation exam has the closest form to the real exam, which is the most valuable for one to pass certification exam.

CONS

There are so many offered on Cloud Academy site and it is easy to get deviated by other interesting topics/learning paths. Hoped CA offer a "tiered" layout to help stay focused.

I recommend Cloud Academy for everyone who wants to learn cloud topics easy and relatively fast

It's a good platform to learn even downloading your app and watch videos from there.

PROS

The videos have the duration enough to understand the topic, even if it's a complicated one or not.

CONS

I would like to add a camera showing the speaker. It could improve the attention of the topics watching the real person.

Reason for choosing Cloud Academy

Because it has a mobile app to watch the courses and the people that give the course are really expert on the topic

Vendor Response

Hi Rodolfo, what an amazing review!!! Thank you so much!

The training library is really easy to understand, that anyone can easily learn. I never faced any issue during learning at this platform, so for me, Cloud Academy is perfect without any kind of cons.

Cloud Academy - The Digital Upskiller

Absolutely loving it. In general, I am eager in learning and start with a very good note but little inconsistent and end up not finishing many courses I have started. But with Cloud Academy, I feel I am kind of motivated and utilize whole free time in learning here. It could be because of the way the content is presented.

PROS

Dashboard, Ease of navigation, Leaderboards and Relevant suggestions based on the completed course/lab.

CONS

For some of the courses, the content(fonts, colors) or image quality and sharpness can be significantly improved. Another one is, though not a major one, sometimes following the author's slang is little difficult. One has to be very attentive or replay the course to decipher if the word spoke was "can" or "can't".
