Google wins AWS, and qwiklabs, an online public cloud training platform, is in the pockets

On July 15, November 21, us time, Google announced the acquisition of the online training platform qwiklabs. Qwiklabs is an online business training platform that provides teaching for users who want to be familiar with public cloud environment operations and programming and development in public cloud environments. Google will use the qwiklabs platform to provide the most comprehensive, efficient, and interesting way to train and load all of its products on Google cloud (including Google cloud platform and G suite ). Neither party has disclosed the purchase price.

 

Google will provide cloud service training through the qwiklabs Platform

 

 

Qwiklabs was launched in 2012 and is headquartered in Carlisle, Massachusetts. Currently, qwiklabs has more than 0.5 million users spending more than 5 million hours learning how to successfully deploy and manage multiple cloud technologies through the platform. Currently, qwiklabs training is only applicable to the Amazon AWS platform. Given AWS's dominant position in the market, this is completely understandable.

 

Google said it hopes to help enterprises make full use of their cloud investment through qwiklabs, narrow the Intellectual Property skills gap in the cloud environment, and enjoy an environment for learning and expanding cloud skills, provide customers with more innovations, functions, and higher efficiency.

 

There is almost no better way to get hands-on experience in the cloud environment than the qwiklabs platform, and to learn everything about today's modern cloud solutions. Qwiklabs provides step-by-step instructions to learn popular cloud services, test different cases, and train enterprise teams to become cloud experts.

 

Google has been committed to providing platforms, tools and other resources for enterprises to run their web services on the cloud. Now that qwiklabs is included, Google has the resources to provide a hands-on lab learning environment for infrastructure software developers to build their own cloud platforms.

 

Google's qwiklabs will remain open to AWS Training

 

 

Qwiklabs training courses cover basic cloud training skills, including how to create EC2 instances and how to use Elastic Block Store, load balancing, and auto scaling. It also covers more advanced topics, such as how to use Amazon RDS to provide applications and how to use cloudformation. In total, qwiklabs's current service package contains 13 different categories. Before joining Google, qwiklabs partners were AWS, red hat, and NVIDIA.

 

Recently, qwiklabs said it would continue to provide lab learning points and subscription services on its website. However, it is not clear whether more new AWS cloud services courses will enter. That is to say, the existing AWS cloud service training content will continue to operate and will not be suspended.

 

Google did not provide any further details or announce the release time of the Google cloud course of qwiklabs. But obviously, Google will use qwiklabs to support Google cloud more directly.

 

From the strategic deployment of the public cloud market, Google's acquisition may bring some resistance to AWS's business. Qwiklabs has been cooperating with AWS and cloud VLab for three years and has been providing a lab learning environment for infrastructure software vendors of AWS network services. AWS even uses qwiklabs as its development service to provide developers on its platform with self-defined labs. Qwiklabs has contributed more or less to the revenue of the AWS public cloud market. Now Google has snatched this very important public cloud market education and learning tool from AWS, but it also leaves a strange impression: Why didn't AWS buy this company one step earlier?

 

AWS and Google cloud attributes are fundamentally independent from each other and require different development methods. After the acquisition, Google will undoubtedly transform qwiklabs from an AWS-oriented store to a product that directs developers to buy their own cloud tools and services.

 

After Google controls qwiklabs, it remains to be observed whether it has sufficient capacity to continue training enterprise developers and how to best use its competitor AWS products.
