ran a little out of time.

The previous lab (Intro to Dataprep) provided the perfect time duration expectations. This lab did not have enough time and shut down before I had concluded work. Possibly reasons for this were an unresponsive console (which said it was completed only after I hit enter after waiting 5 minutes) and an unresponsive notebook, which was unable to run a print command within a 5 minute period. As I've gone through these I've begun to feel the left and right panes which house the outline (right) and user information (left) are a bad use of space and should be combined. I work through these tutorials with two windows open next to each other and space is at a premium. Not a fan of the ungit visual appearance compared to github.

Poor. Poor instructions on how to get the instance started using the Google Cloud Shell. Also importantly, this feature is not exciting.

There is not enough time allowed in this lab to complete everything when the datalab vm takes half the time to open. Also, should add note that you have to hide the menu in order to see the top bar of the shell window.

It took so long to provision everything that in the end there was not really time to do the lab properly. Ungit did not match the screenshots etc..

The time of the datalab shout take into account that the datalab provisioning took 10min (and it can take even more time like when I previously attempted the class).

Datalab provisioning takes 15min of the course and then SSH key propagation will not be ready -> course cannot be done. When trying to establish datalab again, DEBUG: SDK update checks are disabled.

this took most of the class to make the datalab only had 4 minutes left
