Real Enterprise Workflows
Jira sprints, PR reviews, blue/green deployments, change requests, incident response — the daily reality of a cloud engineer.
Team Collaboration
Work with real teammates on real sprints. Learn when to Slack, when to email, how to run standups, and how to unblock yourself.
Multi-Lane Deployments
Dev, test, staging, prod — manage code across environments with Terraform, GitHub Actions, and ECS Fargate. Just like production.
DevSecOps Built In
Security scanning, secret management, IAM policies, compliance checks. Companies want engineers who think about security from day one.
AWS-Verified Assignments
Connect your AWS account once and CloudPath grades hands-on assignments by querying the AWS APIs directly — read-only, fully auditable. No more screenshots or fabricated CLI output. The work is real because the resources are real.
Job Placement Engine
AI matches you to jobs, optimizes your resume per listing, generates cover letters, and preps you for each specific interview.
Gamified Learning
XP points, streaks, achievements, leaderboards, boss battles. Learning cloud should feel like leveling up, not reading textbooks.
Learn on Your Schedule
Self-paced lessons, AI-graded assignments, hands-on labs you do in your own AWS account. The path fits your life, not the other way around.

Pricing FAQ
What happens after the 7-day trial?
If you didn't add a card during signup, your subscription pauses — no surprise charge. You can add a card from /billing anytime to resume. If you added one, it bills automatically and you can still cancel anytime.
Will I get charged if I forget to cancel?
If you don't cancel before the trial ends and you added a card, yes — but you have 14 days from that first charge to request a full refund, no questions asked.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes — upgrade or downgrade from /billing any time. Stripe handles the proration in-place; you won't end up with two overlapping subscriptions.
Do I lose my work if I cancel?
No. You keep access until the end of the current billing period and we never delete the projects, notes, and certificates you already earned — they stay attached to your account if you ever come back.
Built for the journey you're on.
The Career Switcher
Composite story
Representative Profile
Career switcher · Boston
“If you've been stuck on a non-tech track, the EKS capstone is what flips the conversation in interviews. You stop saying 'I'm learning AWS' and start saying 'here's the cluster I deployed, here's the cost report, here's how I'd scale it.' That's the difference between a callback and a no.”
These are composite stories representing learner archetypes and common career outcomes. Individual results vary based on prior experience, effort, and market conditions. No specific earnings are guaranteed.
