RackSpace provides Free Web Based Training & Certification called "CloudU"

The following 10 lessons make up the CloudU Curriculum. This curriculum, just like university, starts off with the basics and gets more advanced as it progresses. Each lesson is accompanied by a quiz, but don’t worry–if you read the lesson whitepaper, you won’t have any trouble passing with flying colors. Even if you don’t register for CloudU so that you can earn the Certificate, you can still read and watch all the materials.
So what are you waiting for? Starting learning about the cloud today!
