Reviews

Great training it covered the most importan topics if GitHub copilot with good explanation and good labs.

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

great class and packed with material, would have lived to spread it more into many days but overall very informative.

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

this class was informative, made me think about certifying for the suse manager cert.
