Reviews
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
For a Fundemental this is great . Would request to have more Jargons explained so that a non Engineer backgroud person can gain info of .
Good for beginners but you need to know basics of cloud computing and traditional computing or data center/ infrastructure.
Very clear and straight forward way to summarize all key learning of Google Cloud product in this course.
Highly recommend !
