As the A Cloud Guru platform has grown and matured we have noticed an increase in students who are looking for insight and and quick access to information rather than full courses. The Membership program is designed to meet that requirement.
Where to start
With the Membership plans you can access anything in the catalogue, however that creates a problem in itself: where do you start?
We recommend that you start by knocking off a couple of intro courses to give you some foundation to put the rest of the material in context. See the Course catalogue (opens in new tab) for links to the latest courses.
Starters:
- Cloud Computing Foundations (opens in new tab)
- Introduction to AWS (opens in new tab)
- Crash Course on GCP (opens in new tab)
- Introduction to Azure (opens in new tab)
(Expect to complete these over about two weeks depending on how much time you have available.)
When you have completed that you will have a good idea of what Cloud encompasses, and will be in a position to run though short material and be able to follow what they are discussing.
Regular time-efficient content
Now you can start on weekly and monthly short material that will help you keep up with what is going on, and keep your hand in:
- Watch AWS this week (opens in new tab)
- Watch Azure this Week (opens in new tab)
- The reInvent series (opens in new tab)
- AWS Service Spotlight (opens in new tab)
- Start doing Labs to get more hands-on with AWS
- Become familiar with the Help Center and Community Forums.
Access to deeper technical content
As noted above, the whole catalogue is available to you. You may not plan to do full courses or certifications. However below is a short list of some interesting courses that you might sample or do sections of to upskill. Of course you don't need to do full courses. You can access any lesson in any course which effectively allows you use the catalogue as a technical library.
- Serverless for Beginners
- AWS CodeDeploy
- AWS DynamoDB
- Introduction to RDS
- S3 Masterclass
- AWS CloudFormation
- AWS Cost Control
- Application Load Balancer
- Serverless Framework build a Chatbot
