Asif Shaikh - Carpmaels & Ransford
Course - Terraform on Microsoft Azure
The trainer presented the topics in a very clear, concise and structured approach that was easy to follow. My fellow colleagues commented that the wished they had this training earlier before starting to use Terraform. I also really like the hands-on coding using the VM's. This worked very well. The trainer was also very personable and relatable.
