The content is pretty good. It can be overwhelming, but has a lot of depth for understanding Kubernetes better.
Sep 2021
Everything about the course was great. All topics were well elaborated on and easy to understand. The instructor's language was clear. The knowledge checks and labs were helpful in order to understand the material.

A good mix between content, external links, and especially links to official documentation (as Kubernetes is a fast moving project). Labs are always a must, and are well designed I think.

The content is high quality, distilled, not easy to find in other sources, and makes it straightforward to learn.
May 2021
The broad number of topics covered, and the fact that most of them have good examples to practice. Including HA and Security was a good decision, as those topics are normally skipped when starting on Kubernetes (hard to implement locally, or simply complex enough to avoid them). THANKS!
