"AcloudGuru is the best way to learn the cloud"
What do you like best about A Cloud Guru?

There is so much content and pathways that I know I can learn anything I need to stay relevant in the workforce. With their year subscription price being so reasonable I know I have enough time to learn more than one subject and they are constantly adding newer products and services to stay on the cutting edge.

What do you dislike about A Cloud Guru?

I would like a little more humor and it would be nice to see the instructor as I watch the lecture so it doesn't feel like I am just forcing my way through powerpoint slides.

Recommendations to others considering A Cloud Guru:

Would love to see some Splunk training

What problems is A Cloud Guru solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have become AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate certified and also have learned about kubernetes and containers with their kubernetes deep dive. I plan to delve into Azure and GCP when time permits. I am learning these skills because my new employer is look to use at least two of the major cloud providers to provide better services and reliability.

"A Cloud Guru review, 99% good 1% bad for existing students"
What do you like best about A Cloud Guru?

I like that they make sure all content is up to date with each platform. Most other sites it is always months if not a year behind the exams.

What do you dislike about A Cloud Guru?

I do not like existing customers were not given a chance to upgrade to the Personal Basic Plus at a discount and instead were given( A very generous discount I will admit) on their basic plan. I would have opted into the Plus plan for let's say a 100 dollar discount.

What problems is A Cloud Guru solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping me solve my knowledge gap with cloud technologies

"The Best Place to Learn Cloud"
What do you like best about A Cloud Guru?

I have used acloud.guru to earn 9 cloud certifications and am depending on them to help me continue my cloud journey. They’ve even helped me learn other essentials like Python, Vim, Chef, etc. that are key in DevOps, but not necessarily cloud.

What do you dislike about A Cloud Guru?

I have had some technical difficulties that are taking a long time to resolve even after talking with support. Additionally due to the Linux Academy acquisition there are a good number of duplicate courses like Azure AZ-900 that simply existed on both platforms. I’m hoping ACG consolidated these courses together. Lastly, ACG currently focuses on the big 3 providers, which are AWS, Azure, and GCP; but I wish there was content on Oracle, IBM, and DigitalOcean, etc. that aren’t as big, yet still widely used.

Recommendations to others considering A Cloud Guru:

If you’re pursing cloud certifications from any of the big 3 providers: AWS, Azure, GCP. Then you should purchase an acloudguru membership.

What problems is A Cloud Guru solving and how is that benefiting you?

I’ve been able to cut the operational costs of AWS environments at my company. Furthermore, I’ve used my learning to create extremely complex CloudFormation templates to automate infrastructure in a highly regulated environment.

"I passed 8 certifications in the first few months of covid. Time + A Cloud Guru = Pass"
What do you like best about A Cloud Guru?

Very high quality videos that both teach the content and are tailored on the exams.

What do you dislike about A Cloud Guru?

Would be nice if it was a bit cheaper... but I also understand the price point.

What problems is A Cloud Guru solving and how is that benefiting you?

The AWS and other official content is very "raw" and it would be unlikely to pass the exams just by skimming through that content.

"Great training, great content, and great teachers"
What do you like best about A Cloud Guru?

I like that they keep their existing content refreshed and continually add new and relevant material, so much so that I cannot keep up on all the areas of cloud and related technologies that interest me. I also love their labs and that they provide free access to AWS, Azure, and GCP to practice deploying real-world cloud architectures, their cloud sandboxes.

What do you dislike about A Cloud Guru?

The one weakness for me is their quiz material. The end-of-section and end-of-course quizzes are not reflective of a vendor's actual certification exams. Everyone studies and prepares for exams in their own way. I have always preferred quizzing myself over and over with difficult questions that reflect the level of difficulty that I will experience in the real exam, whether a university final or a certification. When preparing for a certification exam, I always need a combination of A Cloud Guru training and labs, plus a reputable third-party exam prep site.

What problems is A Cloud Guru solving and how is that benefiting you?

ACG is one of my main sources for keeping current with the capabilities and offerings from AWS, Azure, and GCP. In my pre-sales and architect roles, I need to know both what can be done and how to do it in the best possible manner. ACG helps me achieve these.
