Building a Strong Foundation in Cloud Practice with AZ-900

In an era when AI writes code, people still need to understand the cloud. This course creates the difference between “using the cloud” and “understanding the cloud.” From fundamentals to cost, availability, and security, you’ll learn by following a question-driven curriculum, then identify your weaknesses with data through a dedicated practice exam and incorrect-answer dashboard.

What you will gain after the course

  • Common Cloud Terminology: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, availability, regions, and deployment models are used the same way whether it’s AWS or GCP.

  • Cost awareness: CapEx vs OpEx—once you understand the pay-as-you-go structure, you can have cost conversations with any cloud.

  • Able to speak in IT meetings: can understand what the development and infrastructure teams are saying and contribute opinions

  • Architectural judgment: the ability to classify “why this service was used,” applicable regardless of the cloud vendor

  • Understanding the context of AI services: Whether it’s ChatGPT or Copilot, they all run in the cloud, and I came to understand that structure.

  • Certification (AZ-900): As a bonus

Being able to read cloud concepts and becoming someone who understands them is the goal of this course


Cloud is no longer specialized knowledge limited to a particular profession.
Whether you're a developer, planner, or data professional—if you work in IT, the cloud is a fundamental skill.

Business tools, internal systems, service deployment, and data analysis.
If the cloud is where your work takes place, understanding that environment is not optional.


However, once you actually start studying, it is easy to lose your way in the face of an overwhelming list of services and a wall of unfamiliar terms.
This course uses the clear goal of AZ-900 as its framework to build your understanding of core cloud concepts from start to finish.

  • Principle-based rather than memorization — understand intuitively through illustrations and diagrams

  • Mini quizzes you can check right away — immediately review the concepts you’ve learned

  • Practical training through analyzing incorrect answers — You improve only when you understand why you got it wrong.

  • Dedicated practice exam site provided — Take exams anytime just like the real thing and identify areas of weakness on the incorrect-answer dashboard

A tech trainer who helps you grasp the intuition of technology and builds your power to do it yourself,
Nuri Kim, the Tech Trainer who helps you get the hang of it.

Currently, I run a tech learning brand called Skilleat, where I create practice-oriented content that helps people "understand technology through intuition."

My lectures are not just about memorizing concepts, but are designed as a
process of building the strength to do it yourself.

A routine of reading → taking quizzes → practicing to build your 'intuition muscles',
through this process, I will help you get a feel for even the most complex technologies.

Previously, I worked as a Cloud Tech Trainer at a domestic CSP,
teaching Kubernetes, DevOps, and Cloud Infrastructure to numerous developers and engineers.
I also served as a Cloud Support Engineer at a NAVER affiliate,
gaining hands-on experience in operating and troubleshooting real-world cloud infrastructure environments.

With a learning routine that anyone can complete,
I will help you build the strength to grow on your own.
