Nice introduction to cloud computing, give it 5 stars because there is a section about emerging trends such as microservices and SaaS. Totally recommended to grasp a general idea in cloud computing.

The learning materials and method are designed to be very comprehensible. I am confident with the skills and knowledge i've acquired knowing that I can build on this and be job ready in little time.

The course was good, but the final lab was very poorly written. It is missing key information i.e. What Port to use, so was not finishable.

The intonation in the female voice is very monotone and makes it hard to voice. Loved the example with the glass board

Many of the videos did not seem "natural". Especially in the beginning it felt like advertisement.

Pls stop putting annoying music under videos that are meant to be studied. It is super distracting and wasn't done in the other courses from ibm! Also the audio level is sometimes really different and in some videos the intro and outro are so much louder than the lesson itself. Pls try to level your audio.
