Instructor was great at engaging participants and when applicable tailoring content/discussion to projects we're currently working on. It's hard to keep a classroom engaged in a virtual environment but Stas did a great job.
I have been in IT field many years, have been many training, Michael is one of the best.
Michael was great. He was patient and delivered material with analogies and showed deep interest in the content and our questions. He was one of few instructor that I love.,
Overall, it was a good class and provided a good intro to all the different AWS solutions and how they all work together.
Instructor was excellent in finding answers quickly through his resources, and was very open to provide supplemental material to help with our specific needs.
