I learned A LOT!! I have a pretty busy schedule as it is so the fact that I could dedicate the weekend to studying is amazing - basically do as you can. I LOVED the transcript that you get with each lesson video - I like to read it, then watch it just to make sure I am fully understanding everything and not missing something. Thank you! I really enjoyed this :) **One thing that would be super helpful is at the end where you are creating a bucket - it would be lovely to see a video of it done - more so for visual learners!

I have just started this course but I think its great so far. It is self paced and it enables me to go as fast or as slow as i need to. I can also go back as many times as i need too to review something that i dont understand or are having a hard time with. My work schedule is all over the place and being able to learn around my work hours is just what i was looking for in a course. The best part is the price. I dont have to take any loans out or sell my first born child to pay for it because it is very affordable!

I am totally new to the IT field, so initially I was really nervous. However, the instruction has been great and keep things very simple and in increments, therefore the information was really easy to digest. In addition, the resource that come with the course is really a great tool. The ability to save notes directly from a video and written presentation is a great tool. This gave learner the flexibility to move through the material and picking and saving pertinent notes without compromising time.

- As a beginner it's sometimes hard to follow. My tip is to read the text and mark the important segments.

- In just 4 days going through this course, I've learned alot about cloud computing.

- You have to believe in yourself and that you are capable. sometimes u might be going through this course and think that you have no clue what they're talking about. But when you do the graded quizes, you will gain confidence in your learning path and truly see that you know the fundamentals and use cases!

It was such a great course that I couldn't stop myself from going through it. I hope in the future IBM provides more of courses this high quality. Thank you IBM and Coursera for giving me this opportunity, and for the financial aid. I want also to add that in order to make the assignment you have to get a credit card but actually, in my county, we don't have this technology yet. So I think if they make a VM to run the IBM cloud services and pass assignments will be better.

This was a very easy to follow, step-by-step course.

I personally, I feel like I received the most benefit to the parts of the course where an instructor was speaking while writing on the board. Occasionally the voice over with the images were either a bit too fast or the images did not really add benefit to the voice over which caused a need to rewatch a few of the videos.

Other than that this was an excellent and very thorough course for beginners. Excellent. Thank you!

Below is my Opinion;

I feel this course is a good head start for the aspirants to start career in Cloud computing, the course is structured and lectured by an Experts in Industry in a way that the beginner can understand easily the concepts, characteristics of component, it's features and use cases crystal clear. I'm Happy to finish the course in a week and looking forward to learn more in Cloud services and computing... I wish others take this and all the best!!!

Great Course, I enjoyed it very much. I gain a good understanding of Cloud computing. The information in this course was presented in a manner that was easy to digest, unlike other courses where I exoerience confustion and ambiguity in the presentation of the information. The time allocated to a topic was appropriate for my attention span. The bit size infomation allowed me to chunk the information easily to buld a broad fundation knowledge of Cloud Computing.

Such a fascinating course, very well planned and scheduled , the amazing thing is you get to make an account in IBM cloud and actually get to share your material with anyone with your own access settings, this honestly gives you such a huge boost and confidence. Just a suggestion it would be best if some other voice is used instead of the current one and also please include more examples during the actual learning materials as it helps a lot

I worked for a major cloud computing company for several years and I feel that the overall knowledge of our employees about cloud computing would have been much better had all employees been required to complete this course. It is the course I wish I had taken when I staretd working there. I knew a lot of these terms but the course made them all fit together extremely well. Highly recommended for all aspiring cloud computing experts!

Had zero knowledge of any sort of cloud computing terminology to learning the different components that go beyond and allow for such technology to become available to end users on a daily basis. I am super excited to continue to learn what's next in this course! Thank you Coursera for notes, videos, and weekly deadlines to keep me on my toes and make sure I'm on track to complete assignments on a timely manner.

Great introductory course to learn about cloud computing and IBM Cloud. This course covers a lot of aspects of cloud computing, Cloud providers, cloud services, and more.

It is an introductory course so some things are explained at a high level and not necessarily in a detailed manner. Overall, if you want to get a quick understanding on cloud computing and the services of Cloud providers, this a good option.

As someone new in IT, this course broke down its content in the simplest understandable way possible. I couldn,t imagine that migrating to IT would be this easy. I feel very confident moving forward and with the knowledge acquired in this course, I can proudly say that I know what cloud computing is all about.

Thank you IBM

Thank you instrucktors

Thank you my sponsors

Thank you Coursera.

FOR THE TIME AND EFFORT THEY HAVE TAKEN TO TEACH US, I GIVE FIVE STARS BUT SOME THINGS COULD BE A BIT BETTER. THE QUIZZES THEY HAVE ARE VERY TRICKILY WORDED AND THEY MARK US WRONG IF WE HAVE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, THOUGH CORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR TRICKY WORDINGS.

SOME OF THE INSIDERS VIEWPOINTS WERE ABSOLUTELY NOT UNDERSTANDABLE. THIS IS NOT THE COURSE CREATORS' FAULT I GUESS.

This course is an excellent choice for anyone looking to start their journey into the world of cloud technology. One of the strengths of this course is its emphasis on real-world relevance. It introduces the offerings of prominent cloud service providers like AWS, Google, IBM, and Microsoft, allowing you to gain insights into the practical applications of cloud services.

Even though I haven't started programming yet, I've already completed the first Coursera course. This course provided me with the foundations to understand the current landscape of computing, how much it has evolved, and it has also helped me grasp many aspects about the future of computing and the influence it will have on the dynamics of global progress

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to cloud computing, covering both the theory and practical implementation. The instructors are knowledgeable and engaging, making the content easy to follow. I appreciated the real-world examples and case studies, which helped me understand the benefits and challenges of cloud computing. Highly recommend!

This is a wonderful course, made with soul. This is a wonderful story in simple words about complex topics. Huge thanks to the amazing creators and IBM Corporation. I am a refugee from Ukraine studying to find a job and this course has been a huge support for me and my family during a difficult time after russia's dastardly attack on Ukraine.

In my experience I learn a lot from this course about the cloud computing . It is very much useful for the student to level up their skills and understand the things and mechanisms happening in the cloud computing. The members who are explained some concepts on cloud computing from the IBM company are very expertise and skilled persons only.

The course provides the basics of cloud technologies. The material is very well researched and structured. Therefore, even beginners can study this course without difficulty. Good laboratory tasks that give you the opportunity to manually “probe the clouds.” Interesting inserts of opinions of professionals working with cloud technologies.

It's a good course. It explains everything from scratch so even a beginner with a non tech background can understand it. Some things are a bit difficult to comprehend so I would recommend doing your own research if you didn't understand something. They definitely provide a good base but it's up to you to build on that foundation.

Cloud computing enables people to access software applications, data storage and other services over the internet instead of through traditional physical servers in a back office. The cloud computing model enables users of internet-based computing services to be charged for what they consume on a pay-per-use basis.

Sem dúvidas esse curso acrescentou muito na minha trajetória como desenvolvedor! Agradeço a Coursera e IBM por proporcionarem um material tão rico em informações e acessível para todos, obrigado mesmo.

O futuro do desenvolvimento está na nuvem, não perca tempo e faça esse curso para ter maior visão sobre o tema.

The class was exactly what I needed and accurately encapsulates the course title - Introduction to Cloud Computing - not too vague and not too detail - just right!

The material does seem to have be presented a few years ago and it seems that the information is dated -- perhaps a refresh is to be expected soon!

This is a fantastic course. It's foundational so definitely doable for someone wanting to learn about Cloud Computing. The different "modes" of materials from videos to teacher's videos to reading were effective. Also the "short bursts" or material were easy to digest chunks of material. Thank you!
