A Cloud Guru is an online training platform for people interested in Information Technology. Most of the courses offered prepare students to take certification exams for the three major cloud providers (Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Amazon Web Services). The company was established in London, United Kingdom in 2015 by Ant Stanley, and Ryan Kroonenburg, with Ryan's brother Sam Kroonenburg joining shortly after.[1] In July 2016 Ant Stanley left A Cloud Guru, leaving brothers Sam and Ryan to run the business.[2]
