#QwiklabsExpress: 5-star labs

Got your ticket to free labs? Great! Thanks for joining us! Amazing to see all the new badges rolling in from last week 😍 

When you’re considering gifts for friends and family, do you check the product reviews and recs? I do! So this week, let’s talk about lab recommendations. 

What is one lab or quest that you would give a five-star recommendation? And why?

Maybe it taught you a useful skill or helped you explore a really interesting topic? Or maybe it helped you tackle a really tough challenge at work? Drop your recommendation as a comment on this thread, and share why you picked it. 

“Like” the other recommendations that resonate with you. No limit to how many “likes” and replies you can give but please limit yourself to one recommendation! And with your #QwiklabsExpress ticket, feel free to explore the recs that interest you. After all, this week we’re all about diving deep into a new skillset 🙂

Now the fun part. The top 10 eligible recommendations with the most "likes" by Dec. 22, 2021 end of day (Pacific time) will receive an additional gift. While supplies last, limited time only.  

IMPORTANT: 

  1. Please continue to respect and follow community guidelines
  2. Please continue to discuss prizes on this post only.  

What to include in your rec (recommendations that don't meet all requirements are welcome, but ineligible for any prize):

  1. Reply to this exact thread 
  2. Include the exact name of the lab or quest (will be used to verify your rec!)
  3. A few words about why you recommend that particular lab or quest
  4. A link to your Skills Boost profile
  5. Please "like" at least one other rec that resonates with you 

👉DO NOT EXPECT A DM IMMEDIATELY👈 if you think you are eligible for a gift. DMs will arrive before Jan 31, 2022. Limit one prize per person, only while supplies last, first come first serve. 

FAQs

  4. What if I write the 11th review?
    1. You missed this one but never fear. Stay tuned for next week's challenge!
  5. What if I don't want to post a link to my Skills Boost profile?

I have completed the Google Cloud Essentials Quest today and I must say that this quest has taught me a lot today. Can't believe that I completed this quest within a day! 

Also, I really want the gift so please leave a like. 🙂 🙂

According to my views, the one lab which is a 5-star level is - "Getting Started with Cloud Shell and gcloud " under Quest:  "Create and Manage Cloud Resources". I feel that way because it taught me very deeply how to use cloud shell to run various commands and manipulate my data and actions on the google cloud console
