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.

Everything about the course is tough but I was able to garner a few points. After the whole thing, I still have a lot to do on my own. The tutors are excellent. Some day not too far from now, I will be on top of it.

Excellent, comprehensive and informative course. The only 'distraction' was the background music in the videos which can be hard for the student to concentrate on content and task.
