Great introduction into the best practice for continuous integration and deployment and how to apply these concept in the cloud. Good balance between practical and theoretical.

Everything I have been looking for to get started with cloud computing frameworks and concepts. The content was applied and well explained by Prof. Gift.

This course is as good as its leader. On a meme scale, I would say Noah is chaotic good. He seems exceptionally resourceful and pragmatic. Indeed, he shares many valuable tips to make things work and provides a friendly intro to the CI/CD and cloud topics. However, in doing so, he makes messy environments and provides advice stemming from his practical experience over a more structured rationale e.g. creating an issue to upload images to a repo README. His preference for results over ordered process is just not to my liking.

Although this course can give beginners a first sense of what cloud computing is, th classes and material could be so much better. Basically all the tutorials absolutely don't work or they work after many hours of searching for a solution that could have been spared if the instructor only updated the course, which doesn't seem to happen. The instructor also refers to some reading material in form of tutorials but in these tutorials (which are meant to be as simple as possible to follow) there are steps missing which again, make people spend so much time looking for a solution. To summarize: I liked having this first contact with the cloud but there's no explanation on why we are doing the steps on the videos. It could be a lot better if they have some fundamentation and explained the structure of AWS services an how each of them work in more detail.
