Para o básico, dá para ter uma noção de quão poderosa essa ferramenta é.

Very informative course, knowledgeable teacher, however it would be nice if it was spoken a little bit slower and clearer and a little less background noise in some of the videos.

It looks good so far. However, as a person with a hearing disability, I need better captions as the current automatically-generated ones are not clear and are making the learning experience a frustrating one.

The level is about right, could give a little blurb with more context about what we're about to do in each section. "There are three ways we can use a password in getting commands to hosts. Here's what that looks like" as a random example.

It was good for beginner level. However Ansible Role topic has not been covered. Also I faced few issues in Ansible Variable video. It was not loading properly.
