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.

I can provide hands-on experience to my customers. Image updates (made in US DC) are not automatically copied to other DCs it seems.
Singapore DC doesn't support Hypervisor 16G-8C. If you need your image deployed in Asia (this is decided by the time zone in which the image is being used), well it isn’t. It will be deployed in the US DataCenter, which means very high latency when using the image. If you insist the image is deployed on a higher spec hardware (Hypervisor 24G), you need to negotiate with ReadyTech, otherwise a higher cost is incurred. Image updates (made in US DC) are not automatically copied to other DCs it seems. The first time a deployment in the Singapore DC is requested after an image update, the ReadyTech staff have to copy the image from the US DC to the Singapore DC before the the image can be deployed. Because of the extra time needed for the copy, this means the image is not deployed in time to be used as planned. Both result in a bad experience for our customers using the image.
