I'm very thankful for the class. It was clear, concise and contained demos that covered most of the subjects.

The knowledge is very fundamental, and really goes from the very basic, to more advanced, to fully understanding how things work.

It had a nice overview of basic Linux skills to start with. The sections about virtualization and containers were also particularly interesting.

This course gave me a complete overview of several topics that I just heard about but didn't know what their role was in IT. Ex. containers, gitOps.

I was pleased at how many useful details were included. I already had some knowledge of Linux system administration, so I was wondering how much of this course would be new information. I ended up learning a lot of nice tricks that made the tools I'm familiar with much easier to use. I particularly liked the bash scripting section, which really broke down the language in an understandable way.
