Thanks to Google and its team for producing such a wonderful training content. It was a breeze to know about GCP and core services even for a guy like me how has not been hands-on for over 20 years.
Get's a little more in-depth than the first as it should, pretty interesting, not sure about the focus on Stackdriver with it being basically a paid extra, but I can see the value in it.

•The videos and labs were very good. However, the quizzes as well as the quiz questions within the labs, were not so good. I'd estimate half of the quiz questions were memorizing lists. And sometimes a list of answers that all sound correct, but one is the answer from the video. How does memorizing lists and video content help me become a cloud SRE?
Anyhow, I give the class 4 stars for the video and lab content, and knock off a star for the quizzes.

•The course was good, I'd like to know more on when do I have to install a stackdriver agent and when I don't need to do it, because in the lab we didn't do it. Also, generally speaking, I think it would be best if the quizzes had more questions, 10 at least; I don't think the three questions asked is enough to know if someone took the course or not, and would also help us (the student) to really know how much did sink in.

•It gave me good understanding of how GCP deals with generally what if something goes out of normal and the alerts and methods that we can use to quickly fix or mitigate issues. I at times felt there should be a better detailed explanation why / what the commands in the shell accomplishes and hopefully one of the course developers speak bit slower and bit more elaboration. just a suggestion for improvement. Thanks.

•Hay un lab que no es correcto y tiende al estudiante a buscar la forma de poder resolverlo, con el conocimiento que hasta el momento ha adquirido. Si bien, creo que no es un tema tan grave, es importante que lo revisen.
En general, el curso es bastante bueno y sencillo de entender.

•This course was very well laid out. It probably would be a good idea to go over the quiz questions at the end of each module. I messed a couple that I really thought I had correct. It would've been nice to know exactly where in my thought process I had gotten confused.

•I didn't find the first module on IAM very clear nor complete, anything related to the hierarchy or the different objects, Organisation, Folders, etc. and how they relate (or not) with G Suite should be more detailed.
Other modules are fine.
By Tim S
•Good course. Believe it would have been better to leave the videos uncut and not in 1 minute chunks as the coursera application is slow to move from video to video. There also appeared to be some duplicative videos for intros into labs.

•Essential Cloud Infrastructure: Core Services guides you through the several aspects of GCP Project roles/VMs/error tracing/billing that constitute the backbone of the GCP suite in a comprehensive and professional way.
By Mustafa E
•Too many types of errors! Although I finished the course I feel so many things still need to read about! Great Job in general but wish if you could add more lectures about monitoring and error reporting! Thanks!
By Joke J
•A little bit more details than the course-1, but overall okay. well paced. some of the tutorials weren't very clear in the way its delivered. but its well sized. Not too lengthy and neither is it too short.
By Dion P H
•ok, would be great if labs had more exercises per core principal that you learn, you go to all that effort to set up a few servers, would be great to test out a few more related GCP features each time...
By Andrei T
•Videos from course were spitted too often. Distracting when a video of under 60 seconds has additional 8 seconds for auto play and the wait time for browser reload. Next time please keep them as 1 video.
By James B
•Really good course covering a suitable breadth of material and with reasonable depth. I have the feeling that some of the labs could go a little deeper without significantly increasing the time taken.
By Ganesh L
•Over all very good course. Need to update the course to keep in sync with changes in actual GCP console. Need to fix BigQuery part ASAP. It is not in sync with the instructions in the Lab.
By vincent p
•Needs some updates to fit the latest features and screens of the products. (Big Query ANSI SQL instead of legacy SQL and some stackdriver screens instructions which does not fit)
By Sébastien S R
•Quelques coquilles dans les exercices mais sinon cours très bien organisé. Les points abordés sont bien expliqués et les résumés permettent de se focuser sur les points clés.

•Please fix Cloud Storage section. The instance on europe-west1-d that running on f1-micro causing much pain because no memory allocated error. I think f1-micro is too small
By Deleted A
•There are some outdated instructions in the labs of the course. Also it will better if lab in Monitoring module provides activities regarding logging and tracing.
By Alexander Y
•This is about all google courses: please structure course materials in coursera interface, it is total mess now. Group it into modules. Currently it is awful.
By Janani G
•In one of the labs for cloud spanner, it's mentioned that we would also explore cloud spanner admin but it's not available in the lab and missed :(
By Murali K
•I enjoyed doing these courses, the content was to the point and thorougly enjoyed the labs which are seamless without any issues. Thanks Courseera
By Ignacio A R
•great content and labs; one exception: lab for service account creation, somehow didn't work with altstrat.com domain and submitted partial.

•There are some strange options in Labs that are confusing. This needs to be addressed as there are options ... where there should not be.
By Jonathan Y
•A lot of the subjects were just on high level and I'm not sure I got the gist of every service in a way that I can sum up what it does.
By Pritam K M
•some of the lab instructions are outdated as compared to the newer admin console. So the labs instructions need revisit and changes
