The content is pretty good. It can be overwhelming, but has a lot of depth for understanding Kubernetes better.

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.

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!

Very in depth explanations of a lot of Kubernetes concepts. I normally work with Kubernetes, but it still managed to show me several new tools.

Great mix of theory and labs. The labs built on one another, unlike the content offered by other training providers. I also learned a lot more about the internal of Kubernetes, and got a lot more information about add-ons and other CNCF projects.

I really did enjoy the labs, and felt like I learned a lot by going through them myself. It was a great experience going through the various Kubernetes administrative tasks in a hands-on manner.
