Knowledge, Learning, Community

To be clear, Google isn't being altruistic here. It is offering a one month free preview (which I signed up for, because I'm eternally curious) but after that I would suppose it will cost money. What's more significant, though, is that if they reach their target of 40 million people, that's 40 million people who are not studying this at a college or university. "People looking to learn more about the capabilities of the Google Cloud Platform can have access to more than 700 hands-on labs, role-based courses, skill badges, and certification resources, including 16 new learning paths available on-demand globally on Google Cloud Skills Boost." Google should make it all free. After all, "Other public cloud providers like Microsoft and AWS also offer learning capabilities. For example, Microsoft Learn offers various learning paths and modules for free on Azure."
