Dear Dena,

first off: I am sad to hear your story. It would be helpful to hear what topics 
need to be taught for such a certification. I've
worked with AWS in the past and consider it to be complicated beast. Can't say 
anything more positive for GCE. Thus, I
understand the need for teaching and training.

I am asking as I have a gut feeling that potentially some of these topics might 
overlap with what we teach in HPCCarpentry
material [1] & [2]. So please put some evidence to these feelings as I am 
mostly a self-taught cloud user.

Best,
Peter
