In the video, the instructor primarily demonstrates the setup and configuration process using a Mac system. However, it would have been very helpful if the course also included guidance specifically for Windows users. Configuring the tools and environment on a Windows desktop can be quite different from Mac, and without Windows-specific instructions, learners may encounter errors or face challenges that are not addressed in the current material. Including a dedicated section for Windows setups would ensure a smoother learning experience for all users, regardless of their operating system.

It would be good if it was done in Windows machine also or on AWS EC2 instance.

Los subtítulos son VERGONZOSOS. Entiendo que sean autogenerados en una primera etapa pero, qué mínimo que repasarlos y corregirlos.

I thought this course would cover more administrative tasks from a security standpoint. I guess this course is more focused on developers.
