Reviews

The class and material is good. I think some of the software needs to be updated.

Great class I learned a great deal from the material. There would seem to a large amount that I need to learn about.

it was good and very informative. Instructure covered everything in detail.

Great and very intuitive. Better than the traditional hit the wrong button/lose points.

This course gave me a clearer understanding of the AWS cloud architecture.
