Great review for Cloud concepts that I needed. Probably would use it once I start studying for some AWS content since not many people use IBM but still a great way to get started in cloud computing.

This is a highly recommended course for starting to learn about the basics about Cloud Computing and advance off from here, as it is an eye-opener for me to know there are so much more other related concepts & knowledge I need to know to grasp about the current Technology and Businesses concepts.

Wonderful Explanation of the Cloud, it's benefits and most importantly the final Lab in which I learned that how can I deploy my application in docker by creating the docker image on the Cloud. I learned a lot of new things from this course. Special thanks to Instructors, IBM and Coursera.

I love it! With no previous knowledge of cloud computing, this is a gentle introduction to all the concepts without much difficulty. I was able to get the whole idea, relate it with other resources and it all clicked well for me. It's well put together, I appreciate the effort.

Thank you

Great course for beginners or experienced professionals who want to expand their knowledge of cloud computing. It has a well-structured content and teaches cloud concepts alongside the historical reasons that motivated the world to change from monolithic to cloud-native applications.

The content and video quality is excellent. It is a really lucid and engaging course. But it took time for me to create the IBM cloud account to complete the final project. An error was encountered while trying to create the account. If IBM rectifies this issue it would be great!

This course provides the fundamental introductory theory for Cloud Computing plus some case studies (through videos). It's a beginner level course and this means that if someone wants to gain comprehensive knowledge about cloud computing, this is just the beginning.

Very interesting, but you have stop stop the videos constantly to research some of the topics they mention. Otherwise you won't learn as much. For every minute of video, be prepared to spec another minute looking things up on the web. The AI help is VERY helpful.

The pacing and review are very well done. This course will reward the depth of your efforts.

I was already beginner level (az-900, dp-900, AWS CCP), so this course clarified and reinforced many points. (from an IBM cloud viewpoint).

The content is huge but rich. It brings to bear practice in a theoretical space, learning like you're in it already, seeing it done. The quizzes are tough though very cognitive, nonetheless, the experience is worth all the effort.

These videos are explained by professionals by drawing on the board and with mini documentary like videos about uses of cloud computing around the world. I think no other course offers this kind of quality for any subject.
