This is an excellent for a beginner to get an idea about google cloud platform. But, for an absolute beginner, I felt the course content fell short in some areas. Nevertheless, a very good course.

This was one of the best learning I had. Very simple and easy way to do the labs and understand the concepts. Even though the content is around fundamentals, it helps to remember the terminologies.
