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.

Thanks to Google and its team for producing such a wonderful training content. It was a breeze to know about GCP and core services even for a guy like me how has not been hands-on for over 20 years.

This course is really interesting with somany hands-on practicals in GCP.

Again, they need to update the instructional material because some of the interface has changed, so as to be exactly the same.

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

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.

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.

During lab exercise, VM instances were not getting created for different regions. If the networking chapter could have explained little more detail it would have helped to understand.

Great introduction to the basics of Google Cloud: VMs and Networks. There are a few hard-to-follow Labs here and there, but all in all I learned a lot, and the experience was good.

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.

This was a more in depth course for network topologies and vm creation. It is strange that this course came after the first course, where some of the topics were also covered.

There are many discrepancies of items naming in the course and in real cloud console. this might be due to course a little bit not up to date with recent changes in console.

Still having issues with SSH working properly. I will get an access error about 8/10 times that we're instructed to "click the SSH" for a device. This is quite bothersome.

Some of the quick labs were too short and didn't feel very satisfactory but everything came together in the minecraft server set-up. That was very satisfying and hands on.

Pretty good walkthrough of web interface to google services. Would have benefitted greatly from:

more use of REST api and gcloud cli.

more rigorous and frequent quizzes.

There is huge problem with LAB's and checking my progress via script/program. I had to pass LAB networking 3 times because the check script was not working properly.

VMs constitute a fundamental asset of GCP. This course allows you to grab the main concepts on how to create and customize them in order to fit your business needs.

Nice Course to get started with Compute Engine and its functionalities, as this provides a good overview of the Compute engine Infrastructure provided by GCP.

A good overall introduction to GCP. Some rough edges with the content being new-ish but well done overall. The labs are good and useful for anyone new to GCP.

This course is very useful especially for the beginners and the la session is designed in such a way to explain the basics of cloud in the most easiest way.

Much like the GCP Foundation: Core Infrastructure course, slightly more advanced, this course gave a good overview and opportunity to touch and feel GCP.

It is now clear to me that the prerequisites for this course is that you have experience using Linux command line to interact with an Linux type OS.

after one course, i still felt lost. But I continue through course 2, its sinking in. I am sure course three will give me more confidence.

This course only contains basic of Compute Engine.

I have experience with compute engine over 1 year, this course still very easy for me.
