Wow that's expensive. $2400 per year for a subscription to take those courses, not even including taking the certification exams. Training for other public clouds like AWS and Google Cloud is free to audit, and about $500/yr on Coursera for access to their entire platform with certificates upon completion. What's the sense in building a public cloud based on open source technologies when learning about it is going to be this inaccessible?
