Why doesn't Team Treehouse have a track that covers [at least some of] the considerations related to setting up a stack?

I can't tell you how nice it would be to have a concise, well-explained tutorial on load balancers, web servers, VM instances (where they're available), disk snapshots, database connectors, etc.

I don't even know what else, because I admittedly know so little about this important area of the online world.

Anyone else agree? If you have found an existing resource somewhere on the web, I'd love to know about it!

For the most part those courses simply don't exist, the knowledge is trapped inside dead trees (e.g. books).

The only site I know that has online courses that get anywhere close to those sorts of topics is linux academy

There are also a few Linux Administration and AWS courses floating around the Internet as well mostly overlap with what you'll find at the Linux Academy.

Thank you, James. I'm just amazed that there's not a bigger push by Google and Amazon (since they're competing for the business) to provide better training on how to deploy on their platforms.

Sure, Google has certification exams for their cloud services, but heck if I can find any Google-created training.
