Welcome to Cloudericks.com
Cloudericks.com website and the Cloudericks YouTube channel created by Heartin Kanikathottu aims to learn, share and innovate in cloud and DevOps together with the community because cloud evolves faster than one can keep up alone. We manage communities with over 140000 members. We prepare study notes and labs, conduct free sessions, provide free training, and even develop products.
The name Cloudericks is inspired by the word “maverick,” representing independent thinkers who challenge norms and bring fresh perspectives. Likewise, Cloudericks stands for cloud enthusiasts who explore beyond traditional boundaries — learning, experimenting, and innovating together. It reflects a spirit of curiosity, collaboration, and courage to try new things in the ever-evolving world of Cloud and DevOps.
