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.

Hands-on labs are great! Overall gives a good understanding how things can be setup. Good course if you would like to brush-up on things. Some small updates are needed as UI has changed.
