The Azure Academy serves as Cefola's way of giving back to the IT community. Early in his career, learning resources were limited primarily to books and expensive training courses. With the internet still in its early stages and platformslike YouTube non-existent, learning options were restricted. As someone who preferred a more hands-on learning approach, Cefola found traditional methods like reading to be less than ideal. Additionally, the high cost of formal training, often not covered by employers, presented a financial hurdle.
The Azure Academy was established with the goal of providing a solution to the learning difficulties Cefola himself encountered. The platform offers engaging, entertaining, and educational videos designed to empower individuals with the necessary skills to excel in the cloud computing domain.
