This is an excellent training course with great labs, allowing in depth hands-on to the real Google Cloud platform. This alone allows for a better understanding of what's Google Cloud Infrastructure.

Some things left unclear such as warnings from gcloud about parallelizing disk operations, and the use of a flag on an SSD persistent disk that the mount manual says has a performance hit.

Some instructions are not accurate, it might create confussion, take a look at the last exercise, you need to specify sudo to run the commands instead of just copy and paste the commands as it said

OK, good intro, still on a high level. Some examples are more specific but this course does not provide all the know-how required to understand how they work behind the scenes.

Hands-on labs are great! Overall gives a good understanding how things can be setup. Good course if you would like to brush-up on things. Some small updates are needed as UI has changed.

It would be helpful to have slides downloads as it was done in the GCP Cloud Fundamentals course.Labs are well organized and helpful in getting hands on experience with explained concepts.
