The Explanation on the overall Ansible Tower features is very good. Learning was in very simple way. Though the course is 3.5 hours of total time, it teaches all concepts very clearly.

Lecturer can't even speak proper English, repeats himself again and again, takes unnecessary pauses between words, doesn't seem to be having proper knowledge on the topics he is lecturing on.

Diversion to Git tutorial was not required. RBAC example could be more enterprise level. Focus should have been more on Ansible Tower functionalities. Does it support script execution or not. Accent should be neutralised to make it international level. Thanks!

It was a good learning. Could you please add some topics on how download and customize playbooks from ansible galaxy and use them in some environment for day to day use

Thanks for covering the Basics of Ansible Tower and I would be happy if you cover full Enterprise features of Ansible towser, integration with LDAP instead creating new users, workflows and other advanced concepts.

It is good enough to have a good understanding and background of Ansible tower although not too deep into a lot of technical areas.

Eigentlich ja, an manchen Stellen (wie etwa git) etwas zu ausführlich, an manchen Stellen hätte ich mich über advanced Themen freuen können.

It's a good course, but I expected a little bit more of it, for example working through over credential types, and not only one option (Machine). Anyway, it's still worth to

So far, so good. The information (and the screens) are not out of date, and I've been able to follow everything so far. Excellent.

this is a solid course, really recommended, but still has beginner level so, if you were expecting some "crazy stuff" this is not your course

Red hat recommends not using the filepath /var/lib/awx/projects, so why are you teaching about using that method, instead of Git?

I would like to see every step, you show us too directly skipping essential steps. But it was a good course overall.

The 27th Lecture's demo is not wrong, Instead of clicking on the created template, the previously existing template is clicked for running. From 6.15 mins please check the video
