courses like this tend to be less of a function of what would be the most useful for the profession as a whole and more of a function of what someone would need to know to get a job. these skills are definitely things people would need to know to get an SRE/DevOps/Ops/IT job in 2019. (I understand that those 4 jobs are not the same.)

Automation is not the future, automation is the present. The amount of very hand-o-matic stuff being suggested out of this document is inimical to one's employability in this field. Understanding how to systematize and automate is a more employable skill than having a very high-level understanding of, say, Active Directory.
