You watch 10 hours of content but can't deploy a VPC from scratch. Passive learning doesn't build real skills.
Cloud Academy, A Cloud Guru — $30-100/month just to practice. That's $360-1200/year for lab access you don't own.
AWS docs are 10,000+ pages. You need clear, structured guidance — not a treasure hunt through documentation.
CloudLabs Pro gives you hands-on labs you own forever with crystal-clear instructions.
Hands-on, step-by-step cloud engineering lab guides. Buy once, own forever.
Host a blazing-fast static site using S3 and CloudFront CDN with custom domain and SSL. No credit card required.
Spin up a Linux EC2 instance, configure security groups, SSH in, and deploy a simple web app. Free with newsletter signup.
Go beyond basic IAM — master permission boundaries, SCPs, cross-account roles, and least-privilege analysis with IAM Access Analyzer.
Stop surprise AWS bills. Learn Cost Explorer, Budgets, Savings Plans, and automated shutdown strategies — the hands-on way.
Build a real CRUD API with Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB — with proper error handling, IAM, and CloudWatch monitoring.
Build a full production-grade VPC with VPC Endpoints, PrivateLink, Flow Log analysis, and network segmentation — the patterns interviews test.
The CI/CD stack companies actually use. OIDC federation (no stored keys), multi-environment Terraform, and automated deployment pipelines.
EventBridge, Step Functions, SQS, Dead Letter Queues, and the Saga pattern — the hard parts of serverless nobody else teaches hands-on.
Build a complete CloudWatch observability stack — custom metrics, Logs Insights, X-Ray distributed tracing, and automated remediation pipelines.
When to use which database and how to migrate. DynamoDB single-table design, RDS Multi-AZ, ElastiCache caching, and live DMS migration.
Production EKS with IRSA, ALB Ingress Controller, Cluster Autoscaler, network policies, and External Secrets Operator — not just getting a cluster running.
Enterprise architecture you can't practice elsewhere. AWS Organizations, Control Tower, custom SCPs, SSO, and centralized security — from scratch.
Build an automated security pipeline: GuardDuty findings → EventBridge → Lambda remediation. Auto-block compromised EC2s, remediate public S3 buckets.
Build and TEST all 4 DR strategies — Backup/Restore, Pilot Light, Warm Standby, Active/Active. Includes Route 53 failover and RDS cross-region replicas.
For cloud engineers, not data scientists. Deploy, scale, monitor, and cost-optimize ML workloads — including Bedrock API integration and inference endpoints.
The fastest path to AWS Security Specialty and cloud security roles. IAM, zero-trust networking, and automated security architecture.
CI/CD, serverless patterns, monitoring, and cost optimization — the 4 skills every DevOps engineer needs daily.
The 4 labs that map directly to Solutions Architect Professional — networking, databases, disaster recovery, and multi-account governance.
Every paid lab in the catalog. Career changers going all-in on cloud engineering. 58%+ savings vs. buying individually.
Master Azure's identity system — Entra ID, RBAC custom roles, Managed Identities, and Conditional Access policies.
Control your Azure spend with Cost Management, budgets with alerts, and Azure Advisor recommendations.
Build a production-grade Azure VNet with subnets, NSGs, peering, Azure Bastion, and Private Endpoints.
Federated identity, multi-environment Terraform with Azure Blob state, and automated pipelines — no stored credentials.
Build event-driven architectures on Azure — Functions, Event Grid, Service Bus, and Durable Functions for workflow orchestration.
Production AKS with Workload Identity, Azure CNI networking, autoscaling, Azure Monitor, and Azure Container Registry integration.
Azure's answer to Control Tower. Deploy a Landing Zone with Management Groups, Policy initiatives, and enterprise governance guardrails.
Build Azure's automated SOC — Sentinel SIEM, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and automated incident response playbooks.

"These labs helped me land my first cloud engineer role. The step-by-step format is incredible. I went from zero to deploying production infrastructure."
"Way better than any Udemy course. I actually BUILT things instead of just watching someone else do it. This is how cloud learning should work."
"The Terraform labs alone are worth 10x the price. Crystal clear instructions with real-world architectures. Immediately applicable to my job."
"Finally, labs that include cleanup instructions. No more surprise AWS bills! The challenge mode is a genius addition for testing yourself."

Each lab comes as both an HTML file and a Markdown (.md) file. The HTML version is a beautiful, formatted guide you can open in any browser. The Markdown version is perfect for reading in VS Code, GitHub, or any text editor. You also get text-based architecture diagrams, code templates, and helper scripts.
Yes, most labs require an AWS account. We use AWS Free Tier services wherever possible and include estimated costs for each lab. Most beginner labs cost $0-2 to complete, and every lab includes cleanup instructions so you don't get surprise bills.
Our labs complement certification study by giving you real hands-on experience with AWS services. While they're focused on practical skills rather than exam prep, many customers report that the hands-on practice gave them a much deeper understanding that helped on their cert exams. Practical skills + cert study = unstoppable.
Yes! All labs are updated when AWS/cloud services change. When we update a lab, you'll get an email with the new version — free forever. No additional cost, no expiration.
AWS updates their console frequently — sometimes weekly. Our labs are written against the AWS Management Console at the time of publishing, and we update them when major changes occur. Minor UI differences (button names, menu locations, color schemes) are normal. If you encounter a major change that breaks a lab, email us and we'll get it fixed.
Every lab includes detailed instructions and solutions, but if you still get stuck, you can email us directly or join our Discord community where other cloud engineers can help. We're a friendly bunch! 🤝
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If the labs aren't for you, just email us and we'll refund you in full. We're confident you'll love them. 💯
Yes! AWS labs are available now. Azure labs are actively in development — sign up for our newsletter to be first to know when they drop. We're focused on AWS and Azure; no GCP plans at this time. 🌐
