This accelerated on-demand course introduces participants to the comprehensive and flexible infrastructure and platform services provided by Google Cloud. Through a combination of video lectures, demos, and hands-on labs, participants explore and deploy solution elements, including securely interconnecting networks, load balancing, autoscaling, infrastructure automation and managed services.

I really enjoyed learning how to use languages like yaml and jinja2 to build clusters. The http(s) load balancer tutorial was neat too. Thank you Phillip and Priyanka!
PP
This has been the most fun course to learn in this series. The amount of relevant material and references in the resources section is just perfect! Thank you Mylene Biddle!! Please do more
RG
This course gives hands on knowledge about various method of automations,managed services and scaling methods available in GCP and easier way to learn and pass through.
TW
Lots of content on scaling and automating the deployment of cloud infrastructure on GCP. Also covers some of the managed service offerings on GCP such as Hadoop.
SB
This course was really useful and more practical sessions were there to provide hands on experience especially with load balancing and network creation
KB
I really like the course content it was very helpful to get hands on load balancers and infrastructure automation using Terraform and google deployment manager
FI
This course is an eye-opener to automation and scaling in GCP. I learned to use Terraform an the Deployment manager even though I had a little challenge with the latter. Thank
NN
Very good and interactive course. nice you have to take some quizzes and most important the hands-on for qwiklabs are very good to get familiar with the interface.
PG
A good understanding of networking on GCP. Also elaborate knowledge on infrastructure auto scaling. Got some idea about deployment manager and infrastructure as a code concepts.
GD
Solid course, once again gets a bit deeper into the interesting parts about working at scale (automation, auto-scaling) and touches on some of the data based manages services.
AH
First half really useful, but then it gets kind of theoretical and surface level for the second half, especially the managed service section where there is not one lab.

Course content is good However I would be more happy if it has given by Jason, or Philip Maier. I like those guys very much how they deliver the content, never have to go back and look again...

instructor reading powerpoints is less engaging than some of the earlier classes in this specialization.
The instructor speaks too fast, and basically repeats the text in the slides. Need to read the pdf by myself. Labs are quite useful though.
The instructor seemed to fly through the material. What's the hurry?

"Lab Google Cloud Platform API Infrastructure Automation" uses a deprecated command line tool (bdutil) and a deprecated Compute Engine image (https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/debian-cloud/global/images/debian-8-jessie-v20180611).
Overwhelming amount of info squished into one course. Hope the documentation is good on this one.
Excellent course
The talking was sometimes too fast in comparison to the amount of text on the slides, which made me pause the videos quite a lot.
It's absolute mess when when we're talking about VPC and VPN.
the information provided was great but the way it was provided is in the same way I could have read it to myself. It didn't seem like the instructor had real world experience with GCP products and resources that they covering. There was no audible pauses at the key inflection points during context overviews. This made every word seem the same. They also spoke very fast, I usually watch most videos at double speed and it was hard to keep up the concepts. There was not realization of when the brain needed to switch mental models, the information just keeps flowing in this course.
Thanks for the course.
The networking labs were very good, but the rest of the course felt less like education and more like an extended pitch for Google products.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning and demoing the different options in GCP and Terraform in deployment as well as learning about Googles managed services. I hope to continue on with the same success and knowledge with the next couple of courses so that I may pass my certification exam.
This was a great course. It moved a little fast but the labs were very detailed. The course helped me learn to navigate a number concepts and also made me aware of other areas where I will dig deeper.
The labs in this course were a lot of fun. Deployment Manager and Terraform are two systems that I have been interested in for awhile and it was great actually building (small) things out with them.
The presenter was running through the slide with giving enough time to go through the content.
Some of the information was presented too quickly making it hard to follow
provide additional lab hours for more practice
not as easy as the rest of courses
Dictor tells very quick so i cant adsorb course material
Infra automation lab had a issue.
