Pretty concise, to the point, hands-on and effective course. The content is comprehensive including not only the GCP tools but also open source tools for achieving the same automation goals.

Inconsistent audio quality, somewhat overloaded slides, and inconsistent pacing; however, it covers good material in a relatively clear and understandable way.
