Featured Reviews

Upendra Kanuru - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud DevSecOps Engineer at USAA
Focuses on practical skills for cloud and DevOps learners
A few improvements I can think of for A Cloud Guru would involve moving beyond the traditional installation approach to a hands-on experience within terminals. Furthermore, I believe the technology space is shifting towards AI chatbots, so incorporating training on effectively using chatbots for information retrieval would be beneficial. Instead of just providing a help note, offering prompts that assist in learning and solving coding exercises could greatly improve the learning process, as many of us now use chatbots to obtain detailed answers to advance our development. Regarding pricing, I suggest A Cloud Guru could be more competitive. I compare it with other educational platforms, some of which offer corporate discounts, and I notice that many companies opt for those, while the organizations I have worked for have not utilized an A Cloud Guru corporate account, which presents a challenge. I am unsure about the marketing aspects, but other platforms I see have corporate versions, and I can create an account, which I have not seen as an option here. Given that these courses are very specific and tailored to cloud, I assume the pricing might be somewhat higher, which could make it challenging for every company to invest in them.

Integrates cloud workflows with databases and has revealed areas we still want to explore
The best features Nomad offers directly integrate with AWS, which is useful for us. The database link feature helps my team because we have a lot of database linking. Nomad has positively impacted my organization as it is still in an evaluation phase, so I cannot comment on that right now. I have early signs and expectations that Nomad might improve efficiency.
