Hands-on learning is essential to acquiring a solid skill set, so what is cloud training without solid hands-on labs? We would argue that it is about as useful as learning to ride a bike without having one.
To highlight our unique cloud training offering we recently made a total revamp of our open source cloud training storefront. While we were at it, we made some price adjustments, introduced bundles, and launched a spring sale!

Did you know that it allows Cleura Cloud Academy to deliver unparalleled open source cloud training?
Cleura Cloud Academy is an interactive cloud training platform. It enables our customers, partners, and the open source community to become experts on Cleura Cloud and the technology that runs it.
The team built the platform on the Open edX learning framework. It consists of a number of services all working together in a Kubernetes container orchestration cluster. The cluster in turn, is running on the Cleura Cloud OpenStack infrastructure. All constituent components of Cleura Cloud Academy are open source software and our courses cover much of that very same technology.
Who built the Cleura Cloud Academy platform?

They do everything from designing the courseware and the hands-on labs and implementation, to platform maintenance and improvements. In addition, the team is responsible for all official Cleura documentation.
How does cloud training work?
All our cloud courses alternate solid background information with hands-on work in live environments. There are no talking heads on camera. Instead, our courses focus on textual and graphical information combined with practical labs that give learners immediate feedback.
Our cloud courses are completely self-paced, and we don’t lock you into a course schedule or instructor-driven guidance. Instead, you can learn at your own pace, at a time of your convenience. With us, you take the cloud courses in your browser, without the need to download or install anything.
What makes Cleura Cloud Academy stand out?
What really makes Cleura Cloud academy stand out amongst the cloud course alternatives, is our built-in virtual labs. With few exceptions, primarily due to technical limitations, we include virtual labs and the cloud resources required to run them.
Hands-on learning is essential to requiring a solid skill set. Our cloud courses bring virtual hands-on labs straight to your browser as part of the curriculum. This allows you to deep-dive right into the virtual environment best suited for an optimal learning experience.
Immediate feedback on your cloud training progress
All our hands-on labs have a built-in feedback feature that immediately steers you in the right direction. Our competent educational team has made a point of allowing you to break things with impunity. As a result, our hands-on labs allow you to quickly start over, while learning vital open source cloud technology. As you follow along with the lab instructions you can check your work through an automated process. It tells you if your lab environment is in the desired state, before proceeding to the next step.
