The course gradually covered topics, and this helped me understand the relationship between DevOps and SRE better. The SRE related topics broadened my concepts, and introduced important aspects that I was unaware of, but which are important for a system to be reliable and secure.

The course provides a solid foundation in DevOps and SRE principles, making complex topics accessible to beginners. One of the best aspects is how it covers both cultural and technical aspects, explaining not just tools and automation, but also collaboration, reliability, and continuous improvement.

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.
