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.

The instructor seemed to fly through the material. What's the hurry?

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...

Excellent course

"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.

Overwhelming amount of info squished into one course. Hope the documentation is good on this one.

The presenter was running through the slide with giving enough time to go through the content.

Some of the information was presented too quickly making it hard to follow

provide additional lab hours for more practice

not as easy as the rest of courses

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.

Dictor tells very quick so i cant adsorb course material

Infra automation lab had a issue.

Course comprises of mostly slides that are being read with hard to understand examples. Some sections were really good but overall highly disappointed if I were to compare it with the other courses in the Specialization series.

The presentation material was not well developed and the delivery felt rushed. Too man lab techniques were just copy/paste actions without explaining what was being done and why.

It did not recognize my progress through week 2. I cant complete this module!!

Well paced and packaged course that showed all the areas where Automation can be utilized and expanded but also exist so well in the infrastructure of GCP. Even having to take breaks, was able to jump back into the labs and the courses to get acquainted and the labs were so well thought out, with plenty of time to explore and test in a simulated environment!

Great course to get familiar with many services offered on GCP. Automating the deployment process, using managed services to avoid the tiresome process or re-inventing the wheel which in most cases is not needed. Learned about automating the deployment of virtual machines and then setting up load balancing and autoscaling with those.

Learning about the different levels of infrastructure scaling automation was exciting and empowering. Add in the contrasting element of managed services, some of which scale for you (with the best defaults!), I acquired skills that help me compare product offerings and how to best build and improve our infrastructure.

Excellent training on Interconnecting Networks with VPN, creating a Load Balancer from unmanaged Instance Groups, creating HTTP Load Balancers with AutoScaling for managed Instance Groups, Managed Services and the Basics on Deployment Manager, the automation infrastructure tool and deployment services. Thank you!

The labs provided an excellent opportunity to see scaling and automation in action. It was also enlightening to see what kind of thought was needed to deliver each discrete scaling and automation solution, as well as the powerful productivity provided by deployment-manager.
