The Cloud Team maintains a contract with A Cloud Guru for training on cloud technologies, DevOps, and related topics. Cornell staff and faculty are invited to request access to a seat for training. Many Cornell folks have found this to be an effective way to learn new technologies.

- Cloud Providers
- AWS
- Azure
- Google Cloud Platform

- OpenStack

ACG also offers training specifically designed to help you achieve various certificates (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect).
Training Seats
Since December 2017, Cornell has maintained a license for 40 training seats that we rotate amongst Cornell faculty and staff. Our policy regarding training seats:
- Once you have a seat, our policy is to ensure you have at least 3 months with it.
- After 3 months, we may need to rotate you out of your seat so someone else can use it.
- When rotating seats, we will prioritize by the date that each person last used Linux Academy.
- If you keep active on Linux Academy, your chances of being rotated out will be reduced.
- If necessary, we may add you to a waiting list for initial access to a seat.
- Depending on demand, we may need to reduce the 3-month period.
We recommend that you take advantage of the free 7-day trial ACG offers to individual users to see if you think ACG will fit your learning style. If so, then request a seat from us.
