Once competitors in the cloud skills training space, in 2021, Pluralsight has acquired A Cloud Guru (ACG) and now they function as complementary solutions under the Pluralsight umbrella. This means you can access both sets of content through a single Pluralsight subscription. Both platforms offer video lectures, but ACG leans on a more casual, instructor-led approach. Pluralsight has a wider variety of delivery styles, including short bursts, quizzes, and paths for structured learning.
Both platforms are cloud-based, so deployment is simple. Pluralsight offers a user-friendly interface and clear setup instructions. Reviewers rated Pluralsight's customer support as excellent. Also, Pluralsight has a strong online community forum for learners to connect and share knowledge.
To summarize, for a deep dive into cloud computing, particularly AWS, with a focus on practical skills and certifications, ACG's content is excellent. If you need a broader range of tech skills or prefer a more theoretical approach, Pluralsight is a good fit. Now that they're combined, the ideal scenario might be to leverage the strengths of both under one roof.
