Potential Drawbacks

Some reviewers mention the course lacking in depth for advanced learners, suggesting this is more suitable for true beginners.
A few users preferred a stronger focus on real-life examples, industry use cases and NIST definitions to better contextualize IaaS concepts.
Overreliance on PowerPoint presentations made the course feel dull or boring for some students; labs would help mitigate this issue.
