Good course, Jacob covers all the topics of the certification and goes very straight to the examples which makes the course very enjoyable and productive. I don't give it 5 stars because I missed an example of setting up a little more complex infrastructure, that involved for example the creation of an Application Load Balancer to distribute the incoming traffic between two EC2 Instances using Terraform

I very much loved the walk throughs of everything. Made it nice and easy to know where I was making mistakes. Also, the assignments didnt stray too far away from the work we did, so I really appreciated that.

The course is good for what the certification is. Compared to other courses for certifications like the CCNP I had paid less for more lab/study materials but to be honest for this study matter you do need to do some of the work yourself and experiment. Maybe an introduction into the terrform paradigm for those that are 100% fresh. Overall good and happy what I got.
