A Cloud Guru

Avantages

A Cloud Guru works as a guide that accompanies your path towards certifications. It has an infinity of lessons (+ 14k!) Focused especially on Cloud Computing, either for AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, among others. They are the ideal accompaniment to arrive at the exam confident and calm, because thanks to the Labs and Playgrounds it allows you to practice everything you need until you feel really ready. The teachers are very clear when explaining.

Inconvénients

Everything has a price. A Cloud Guru is not free (but it has a free trial) and the prices are per learner, they do not have a plan for companies that allows them to lower costs by creating more users to, for example, help their team of collaborators to become certified.

Avantages

I used it for a while under a personal license for my own upskilling. Good variety of courses and quality of labs / playgrounds.

Inconvénients

Some content seems outdated and so should be updated or removed.

Avantages

The A cloud guru platform peaked between 2015-2018 when AWS certifications were really easy and every certification did not rely on scenario based questions. The platform has really not been updated well and it has lost its sheen in comparison to other more detailed and organized instructors like[SENSITIVE CONTENT],[SENSITIVE CONTENT] and[SENSITIVE CONTENT]. The only USP going for this platform now is its name based on its popularity in the past.

Inconvénients

There are many issues with the the A cloud guru platform but the major ones are how expensive it is as well as how some of the courses as well as exams have not been updated for quite sometime. I believe A cloud guru buying linux academy took some of the best instructors away from linux academy platform. I am not sure how it will work out now that PluralSight has taken it over. We all can just wait and see.

Avantages

Hands on labs were a standout and allowed me to trial some cloud based solutions I haven't before.

Video courses are engaging and easy to understand presenter.

Inconvénients

It was targeted more for beginner to low intermediate i felt so I quickly hit a plateau at what I could use A Cloud Guru for my own study goals.

Avantages

Dashboard is good and easy to keep track of course . Hands on lab and playground sandboxes are really awesome feature

Inconvénients

Devops contents are little of less and need more latest technology contents on devops

Avantages

There are a lot of courses, and all of them are up to date.

Inconvénients

Some of the courses are way too long, and watching a lot of videos could be tired.

Avantages

ACG's introduction of the Playground and live sandboxes was so exciting and beneficial to students and put ACG far ahead of all the other competitors in the market.

Inconvénients

We started with Linux Academy and it was acquired by ACG; While it was great news, we had to go through a timely transition process. Now that ACG has been acquired by Pluralsight, I really hope that we will not have to go through the same long process again.

Avantages

The platform itself is great on the web.

Inconvénients

the Android app is poorly done and too buggy to use for any extended period of time

Avantages

It is very intuitive, the explanations are truly complete and reliable. It is certainly much easier to obtain the certifications studying from this platform.

Inconvénients

Perhaps a better support in other languages of the aws courses could be a point to improve.
