I liked the emphasis on the difference between SRE/DevOps. The industry uses the terms indistinctly.

The course is not biased towards a particular vendor/technology, and it presents all that is available. Following the course, I still got a good overall idea of what Devops is.

It gave a bigger picture of the world of DevOps and SRE, and helped me gain a perspective on problem-solving, rather than mindlessly learning tools.
