TOP REVIEWS FROM INFRASTRUCTURE AND APPLICATION MODERNIZATION WITH GOOGLE CLOUD
Its a very good course to learn about google clouds and to know how we can grow our business or organization with the help of GCP.
For a Fundemental this is great . Would request to have more Jargons explained so that a non Engineer backgroud person can gain info of .
The videos were well narrated, but the green screen insertions became a bit monotonous and hard to look at. Perhaps some natural settings would help.
I wasn't expecting a technical course but a bit more detailed information about GCP offerings wouldn't hurt. Still, good course for non-technical professionals who hava no idea of cloud technologies
