I would say this is a great course covering the main theme of "Cloud Virtualization, Containers and APIs". Sometimes it wasn't enough details, but totally there was a lot of new information for me. The instructor gives a lot of information that is useful to select for the next deep learning due to the own directions.
There were several issues in the course, that need to be updated. The last task is tough and requires deep knowledge, but is optional.

Good course, but covering all 3 major cloud platforms at the same time is sometimes a little bit confusing. Also the quizzes are far too simple since many wrong answers are too obvious.
