One of the few most technical and useful course which can be used in real life scenarios. Glade I found all useful information in one place and didn't spend time galloping through many "prepare for certifications" courses to get anything useable practically. Well structured and ready to be applied in the real life. Like that a lot.

Great content, excellent presentation of information and technical concept accuracy. The only thing that complicates all this info finding its way into my thick skull is Kostiantyn's heavy accent and some grammatical issues that occasionally throw me off (me and the AI captioner as well). Still a valuable course though!

Yes. I think the course is great and the instructor is clear and giving a lot of good details.

It was great sessions and good to explore new topics such as AWS Secure Landing Zone with Control Tower Account Factory for Terraform (AFT). Thank you for your support and keep doing sessions like this

Very good as a starting point, but I felt it lacks some depth on the AFT section. For example, guide you in the right direction to set up networking using AFT. Maybe it's a matter of explaining what should be done with AFT and what should be done directly on Control Tower (for example, how should guardrails be managed?)

The explanations and demos are suitable to understand the relevance of this service. Also, some of them are technically very nice to me.

Overall learning materials look good, but the text on the screen record bit small for me, and not all diagrams are attached. Also would be nice to have all the links mentioned in the videos in Resources. For example, I didn't find git repo links or AWS documentation links.

I enjoyed the training. The teacher presented the topic in a manner that is easy to follow. But, you may get lost if you don't have prior experience working with some AWS services. Thus, this course is not for beginners.

Excellent course and now I got good idea about Control Tower and Landing Zone and AFT. This is course is fully hands on, I am really thankful to the trainer and request more courses in AWS Advanced Topic from him. Thank you so much.
By Pranav Dhareshwar on 7/15/2022
Needed clearer communication:- 1. The diagrams are very small and unable to understand, request to please zoom into the architecture diagrams for better understanding. As they are high resolution. 2. Please give proper theoretical explanation before starting the topic, like what each repo does and structure of it. 3. Facing some issue in the lesson - 32, manual release of the Account customization pipeline is not working. Overall, i appreciate the effort that it must have taken to make this course, there are not many courses for Control Tower on udemy. Thanks for all the efforts.
