The Cloud Team maintains a contract with Linux Academy 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.
Training Topics
Linux Academy offers 1,200 hours of all-you-can-eat video content as well as labs to get hands-on training. Major training categories include:
- Cloud Providers
- AWS
- Azure
- Google Cloud Platform
- Linux
- DevOps
- Containers
- OpenStack
- BigData
Linux Academy also offers training specifically designed to help you achieve various certificates (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect).
Training Seats
As of December 2017, Cornell maintains a license for 40 training seats that we rotate amongst Cornell faculty and staff. 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 access to a seat.
We recommend that you take advantage of the free 7-day trial Linux Academy offers to individual users to see if you think Linux Academy will fit your learning style. If so, then request a seat from us.
To request a seat, email cloud-support@cornell.edu. Provide the following information with your request:
- Name
- Netid
- Unit
- Learning objectives (e.g., want to learn Ansible)
