By now, you probably know that Cloud Academy is constantly publishing new training content every month with Learning Paths, Courses, Quizzes, Exams, and Hands-on Labs. We notify our subscribers in real time when there are relevant additions and updates to the training library, and you can keep track of what’s coming next with our roadmap. At any time, you can go find all of our brand new releases by going to our Training Library and finding the section titled “New this month in our library.”
Promising and delivering organizational and technical change is difficult — especially at large enterprise organizations. That’s why we have a team of experts that continue to work energetically to launch brand new training assets and platform features to make that difficult work a bit easier for you and your team. In June, Cloud Academy made huge advances in our Training Library. Let’s take a closer look.
Drumroll please…

More New Hands-on Labs
You thought we’d settle for “just” ten new Labs in our Cybersecurity Lab series this month? Think again. We released an additional seven brand new Labs you should know about in programming and machine learning.
