The pattern course/lab/quiz was good; it allowed me to go at my own rhythm, without getting lost.

I very much liked that the course provided some very practical content. I feel I know Kubernetes much better now, and I have a better understanding of how to troubleshoot problems.

I liked that not only did it cover the material required for the CKA exam, but also included detailed history and evolution of Kubernetes as well. I did the container fundamentals course right before this one, and they flowed together nicely.
