Adrian Cantrill
Adrian does not have courses on Udemy. He had learning courses in Linux Academy in the past. I only know about his training in Reddit. It could be a disadvantage since a lot of people including me are accustomed to check out Udemy when they look for online training courses. In terms of quality, his courses are top notch with lots of hands on material. He does not offer discount or coupon for his courses.
Stephane Maarek
Stephane's AWS courses are one of the best sellers in Udemy. Without prior knowledge about AWS training courses, one would usually buy his course because of his review rating and popularity. In terms of hands on material I would prefer Adrian than Stephane. Stephane is interested and experienced in Apache Kafka.
Hidden Gem: some of his older version of the deep dive courses could be found on Packt publishing. If you have a Packt subscription you can check it out.
Neal Davis
I had not attended Neal's AWS Associate/Professional courses. But I had attended some of his time limited free courses about AWS IAM and networking. I found his speech and material is easy to understand. It is said that Neal's practice tests are harder than the actual examination. If you have time, check it out besides studying the practice tests from Tutorial Dojo.
Eissa Abousherif
I took Eissa's AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate course (the older one). It is very detail. I think the biggest problems to be are: the course is too long (83 hours) and his drawing (and some typing) is using a mouse, it is not easy to read.
Zeal Vora
From his Udemy profile page, Zeal Vora is specialized in Cloud and Security. He has courses about AWS, Kubernetes and HashiCorp. He and Stuart Scott are the few instructors that prodiving training for AWS Security Specialty Certification.
