Reviews
This course gave me a clearer understanding of the AWS cloud architecture.
Great instructor, clear and concise course. Labs were easy to follow and worked perfectly.
Good training. A lot to take in for the short amount of time we have though
The training was good but needed the basic skills of maximo before getting deep in the configuration of it.
It is very good and very simple instructions. almost to much hand holding.
