I don't want to give a bad grade since the course content is interesting and Mumshad is doing a great job but labs are too simple for an advanced course. Also, labs are hosted on udemy for this course and the quality is much much lower than the labs in the beginner course hosted on Kodekloud.

Very good course. Contains many practical examples that allow you to consolidate the knowledge you have acquired. Covers interesting topics that increase confidence in working with Ansible.

An excellent course by Mumshad Mannambeth. Explained lot's of advanced Ansible concepts with excellent examples. The hands on labs helped a great deal to reenforce the concepts. If someone does both Ansible courses by Mumshad Mannambeth, then they are enough to learn Ansible.

I saw the Introduction video before buying this course and the tutor is saying that they will revise his first basic ansible course so some basics (i.e. variables, loop, etc..) But that is NOT TRUE. He will just go through the names that we saw this in the basic course etc. I was at least expecting a definition of basic terms as I am using ansible I want to learn more. So, do not buy this course by seeing the Introduction video and if you are at least intermediate in ansible and think that this will explain something in basics.

Great teaching style and materials
By Aditee Desale on 10/27/2020
Ansible advance course is really amazing for beginners.
But you haven't added all the topics , you should cover the topics like role directory structure with purpose of them, eg. Handlers
Also there are other topics like ansible-tags, etc. So you should cover each topic related to ansible in my suggestion.

The audio can be louder. Instructor is not always present. Teaching assistants are also rarely here. I expected a more lively discussion in the Q and A. Maybe the instructor is more active on KodeKloud? Assignment requirements can be more clear.

There is no maintenance to this course. Links are broken, labs don't work correctly... I wasted a lot of time trying to make the demos work.

Spoilt by problems with lab exercises not checking correctly part way through course - now fixed
By Vinay Kumar Patil on 9/25/2020
I expected that in this course you will teach ssh key authentication but instead you modified the ansible.conf file.. so it is not really an advanced course :(
