Cloud computing is evolving at a fast pace, and if you want to succeed in IT, you have to keep up. What was considered “cutting edge†a few months ago, might be old news by now. We want to provide only the best possible experience with the latest technology to our learners, and that is why we believe it is necessary to retire this Specialization, and recommend other resources for you to continue your learning. We appreciate you taking the time to learn with us, and hope that will continue. Here are some resources for further study:
