Ratings and Reviews
The course was fine practicaly in spite of that fact there were some problems about how to use Lab Tool properly. Anyhow I think it was a quite good introduction to help you how to take your first steps with GCP.
Thank you. Best Regards,
really well put together. very helpful
This course was a major achievement in my learning experience, because it presented all the features required to deploy, debug and fix, trace and monitoring performance of applications running in GCP. I leveraged from all the labs included in this course.
Thank you!

May be easier to offer the options of using keys to execute Cloudshell commands from an external client like putty. I am pretty sure it can be done by using the keys generated for the cloud unix/linux shell session. The student has a slight overhead of navigating between sub-directories of source code hierarchy, and editing the file using nano or vi directly from the shell. But it will familiarize the student with cloud shell command sooner.
