A Cloud Guru Blog

I was able to pass four AWS certifications and learning a ton in the process by taking courses on https://acloudguru.com/ and lots of practice on AWS itself. Highly recommend acloud. I would use them again to re-up my certs as well.

I've had good results with ACloudGuru and they have a 50% off sale right now. That is a better deal than they had last year. https://acloudguru.com/

A DevOps guy I worked with at a previous job spoke very highly of the courses at https://acloudguru.com/

I think you’re referring to https://acloudguru.com/ If yes, they’re quite good!

NGINX course on https://acloudguru.com/ is good.

Without ascribing concrete value to it, I've done this my whole career and I am generally viewed as a "know-it-all" .. "Ask kthejoker, if anyone knows, he will." Especially with regards to solution architecture, you're often combining or comparing a huge (think factorial!) mix of tools, code, data, etc. Each with their own configurations, settings, gotchas, patterns, constraints, capabilities, hacks ... Being able to quickly recall and locate URLs, code repos, docs, points of contact in a company or the wider community ... for me, it is the ultimate career moat. This article on A Cloud Guru kind of encapsulates the sentiment well https://acloudguru.com/blog/engineering/the-career-changing-art-of-rea… Anyway, convenient texhnology for spaced repetition plus a second brain is amazing compared to earlier centuries. In the future this will probably be a core part of OP's question .. adding things to the brain, automatically deriving connections, surfacing things into your "local" memory at the perfect time ...

> Which got eaten by other orchestration technologies there? Exactly , Kubernetes wants to remove Docker , and the Docker orchestration layer « Docker Compose » is completely dead. Again the founder has left the company with millions , there is no leadership whatsoever it’s a just a zombie company losing millions every year until it’ll declare bankruptcy. Google / Redhat are very well aware of that that’s why they are trying to decouple their product ( Kubernetes/ Openshift ) from docker before it officially become deprecated .

LinkedIn's algorithm seems to be related to how active you are. One step you could try is reaching out to any recruiters you may have added over the years and ask them if they know of any open positions you might be a good fit for. If you haven't added any you might be able to look in your feed to see if there are any advertising jobs and reach out to them from there. I know LinkedIn and recruiters get kind of a bad rap but I really like working with them over applying the old fashioned way. You get more phone calls but it beats filling out forms. If you get multiple recuriters working on your behalf you can setup situations where you try to interview for lots of companies at once in batches. If you're currently unemployed and have the time for that, some companies will eliminate time consuming steps in their interview process to hire you before one of the other companies does. I haven't looked in the last few months but this is most of my strategy for finding good jobs without having to bother with annoying things like job applications or too many interviews. Long term an additional thing you can do to boost this is continue to add recruiters on linkedin even when you're not actively looking. I don't enjoy the job search, so I let the recruiters do it for me. You can be pretty straightforward with them too because they're incentivized to get you a job with commissions. You might be surprised with what they come back with if you tell them very explicitly what you're…
