Learned networking and load balancing, along with VPC networking,=: allowing access to various VM's using firewall rules and bastion hosting. Very intriguing!

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.

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

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.

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.

Great content. The labs for using Terraform and Deployment Manager were interesting. My only peeve with the content is that is the 720p videos look grainy. Please upload higher quality videos.

very good to connect all the information I have so far, good labs and well structure. however, I would have prefered to be a bit more complex but this is just me. Good job !

Inconsistent audio quality, somewhat overloaded slides, and inconsistent pacing; however, it covers good material in a relatively clear and understandable way.

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...

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.

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.

"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).

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.
