    Course was great, Johnatan is clearly knowledgeable in the topic, videos are well portioned, the simulations are a nice touch, very cleverly designed. For learning how to use azure definitely worth it. Hopefully the official exam too. Feedback for Johnatan - The course is great, simulations too. However I would like to see more of the simulations for more scenarios (I imagine they are not easy to make, but it would be nice). And while you are at it, do consider having the hints azure provides be clickable so people can read what azure has to say about it, because the exam questions also focus on minutia, like max fail set / availability set domains. One thing I didn't like, but it isn't a deal breaker, is not having the data to showcase / analyze for the monitor section, as it makes the section quite bit more sterile.

    This is good when you want to learn by doing. It leads you through the process of configuring azure resources step by step, but you might have to go back to the Microsoft documents to get more in-depth knowledge about certain aspects from time to time.

    The course is really amazing. The simulation they added is really great idea because Azure free tier offers very limited services to explore. So, for this course you don't have to worry about Azure subscription.
