Decent course, I just find it frustrating and strange that so many introductory concepts and foundational topic are over-looked and skipped throughout the course. For example, there were a lot of important terms that I believe is crucial to explain to students, such as, what is a server, what is a network, what is a datacentre, what is a system in I.T? Even though I have no problem with learning what these terms are on my own, I feel like the course would have more depth and be more meaningful if there was a foundational for learners to build on, obviously if every learner learns this knowledge on their own, you might have gaps in learners' understandings of how these all relate to cloud computing. For example, I didn't know what the difference is between a cloud environment and cloud computing, perhaps it could just be a personal lack of knowledge on this domain, but I still think it would be valuable for the learners to have a bottom-up understanding of everything.

The course was overall decent, I don't have any other complaints, some of the content was too fast in the final week, cloud security concepts was talked about as if students should have already done their own research regarding cloud security, which once again, references my first complaint. I do still appreciate the opportunity to enrol and take this course, as I learnt a lot of new information. It was fascinating to learn about cloud computing models, services, environments and all the other things, I enjoyed this course, just wish that they took more time to break down the concepts into more understandable and beginner-friendly material.

Conclusion: Take this course, it is definitely worth your time and IBM are champions for making these course available to us on Coursera, as well as Coursera for providing the platform to unify their courses.

Thank you IBM and Coursera, I'll always be grateful for these lessons and material.
