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
The course helped me to understand the way I can move to cloud platforms with more ease . The cloud infrastructure eases our job but the usage must be utilized and completely monitored.
Thank You Brother and Sister I have gained knowledge what happening around the Google Thanks for learning this opportunity and have given special platform to us.
