Welcome to March Cloud Gurus.
We have got some great new courses and labs out this month as well as some new
episodes of your favorite original series and some really cool platform updates.
I'm Sam Kroonenburg,
CEO and cofounder of A Cloud Guru and I'm really excited to share what we've
been working on. Well,
if you've been eager to hop on the Kubernetes train but just don't know where to
start,
we have got the course for you in Kubernetes fundamentals from David Davis.
You're going to learn the essentials of communities, what it is, how it works,
and what it means for the future of deploying and running apps in the cloud and
importantly how to use it.
This is a really great way to warm up for our more advanced courses.
Get your feet wet with containers or just gain a working understanding of
Kubernetes.
Our newest Google cloud platform certification course breaks out of beta and
into fall released this month, brought to you by ICJ instructor, Tim Berry,
Google Certified Professional Data Engineer is all about advancing your skills
in data engineering and machine learning. By the end of this course,
you'll be well-equipped to pass the GCP professional data engineer exam and be
able to design and build data processing solutions,
operationalize machine learning models,
and connect them with the relevant GCP data processing tools and technologies.
In our latest Release Review host Travis Ralph takes a hard look at AWS deep
learning containers.
These are Docker images pre-installed with deep learning frameworks to support
easier deployment of custom machine learning environments.
Are you not sure what that means?
Let Travis take you through what the deep learning containers are,
how they work and how you can quickly get up and running.
We're going to evaluate usability,
data modeling accuracy and practicality and discuss a few different container
trading model deployment avenues.
After getting hands on with AWS deep learning containers,
you can stick around for Travis's pros and cons and a verdict about whether to
invest, evaluate, or maybe revisit this technology later.
Do you have an awesome app that's going to revolutionize an untapped market?
Do you want to get it in front of users right away while you keep pushing out
features and updates.
Dive into application development and no hassle deployment.
Using GCP's app engine. In this new project from Wes Coffay,
you'll learn how to set up a stable data stall backend.
You'll deploy an app engine application into GCP,
update the app and use a Canary deployment to test the new version and then roll
back to a previous stable version of the app when a new version encounters an
error. Now, hands on lab library gets two new Azure additions this month.
Learn how to create VNet peering between two virtual networks and how to enable
multifactor authentication with Azure active directory.
We've also got two new Azure fireside chats where Lars sits down with Azure
experts, Jen Stirrup and Nick Molnar,
as well as new installments of GCP this Month and Kubernetes this Month.
The ACG certification accelerator gives businesses a fast track to cloud
training and adoption.
It's a scalable sprint based program that ACG for business subscribers can use
to lift everyone to a common base of knowledge quickly and efficiently in the
organization.
Now we're bringing Azure into the fold with our new AZ900 certification
accelerator.
Azure has built a really good amount of momentum over the last year and AZ900
Azure fundamentals certification is just a great entry point for anyone looking
to learn more about Azure and move on to more advanced certifications.
If your business is using or thinking about using Azure,
the AZ900 certification accelerator is your fastest option for bringing a whole
bunch of people up to speed so you can make more informed decisions and work
even more effectively in your Azure environments.
This month we've also revamped the way that you share your cloud skills with the
world.
Our cloud profile has received some handy tweaks to give you a lot more control
over what you can share.
You can mark sections as private and we've added an inline editor to make
profile changes much easier.
We've also completely retooled our certification uploader to play nice with
certifications from all of the major cloud providers. Simply put,
if you can earn it, you can probably upload it.
So get those certs added and show the world your awesome cloud skills. Well,
that about wraps it up for this month,
but please keep checking back for new courses and new features,
they're coming out all the time.
We've got some really exciting stuff coming in the next few months. Until then,
keeping being awesome Cloud Gurus.
