Thanks for the excellent course content! I'm happy to share that I successfully cleared the Google Professional Cloud Architect (PCA) certification exam. Thank you for the guidance and support throughout the learning journey!
By Lee Dodimead on 4/27/2026
I sat the exam last week and passed. This was a very challenging course for a risk management professional who isn't a day to day developer/architect but my job demands a greater knowledge of cloud architecture. This video course is a great primer to build your knowledge before delving into other more detailed resources which you will need to do. The course is concise and accurate and I would highly recommend this when starting to tackle the certification.

Curso bem detalhado, para preparar para certificação, GCP, ja tenho conhecimento em outra núvem então muitas coisas eu já sabia, mas é importante repassar os coceitos que ja sei e verificar as diferenças entre as núvens e identificar o que é diferente.

Very good course. I was looking for a fast way to learn Google Cloud, and this course from in28minutes did not disappoint. The instructor speaks clearly and maintains a great pace—you can even watch it at 2x speed and still comfortably follow along while getting familiar with 40+ Google Cloud services. I’m not yet sure if I’ll pursue the certification, but this course definitely provides a solid foundation and good preparation for it. I also really enjoyed the 2–3 motivational videos the instructor casually included, covering topics like successful people and growth mindset—they offered genuinely valuable insights. Overall, I’m very satisfied and would recommend this course to anyone looking to quickly get up to speed with Google Cloud. The final sections on AI cover the latest GCP services related to generative AI, so the content feels current and relevant. Thanks to the instructor!

Buona anche se non riesco a fare alcune cose come cambiare uniform bucket-level access in fine-grained perché mi dice che non ho i permessi necessari
By Manivannan Damodharan on 2/9/2026
Introduction to concepts how it is being done in the on prem world without getting into cloud terminology is a really good choice for folks to understand from the foundational aspects.
By Rohit Tiwari on 2/5/2026
Thank you, Ranga, for the clear and structured explanations. Your videos helped me solidify core GCP concepts and were extremely valuable while preparing for the Professional Cloud Architect exam.
By Nicolas Darby on 1/14/2026
Quite good so far. I was hoping for a bit more on the Network side of things with how to view and manage VPNs and firewalls etc. And a diagram of how to think about them for the objects in a project etc, and when multiple projects are created. I will see if we cover it later.
By Richard Taylor on 12/2/2025
Successfully used Ranga again (3rd time) - this time for the renewal exam. Extremely useful and as Ranga says you can play at 2x speed. You also have to look at the offical google AI material. Hopefully Ranga can incorporate it into his course in the near future.
By Anubhav on 10/31/2025
This is one of the most detailed course for professional cloud architect. I would recommend it for anyone who is giving or not giving the exam to at least have this course once to understand how GCP works, what are the services offered, how cost can be optimized.. The only flaw that i could see is it is not updated with latest of what is being offered by GCP, but even with that I would highly recommend this course, and thanks ranga for all your teaching that i was able to clear Professional Architect exam.
