About the Course

Welcome to the Getting Started with Google Kubernetes Engine course. If you're interested in Kubernetes, a software layer that sits between your applications and your hardware infrastructure, then you’re in the right place! Google Kubernetes Engine brings you Kubernetes as a managed service on Google Cloud. The goal of this course is to introduce the basics of Google Kubernetes Engine, or GKE, as it’s commonly referred to, and how to get applications containerized and running in Google Cloud. The course starts with a basic introduction to Google Cloud, and is then followed by an overview of containers and Kubernetes, Kubernetes architecture, and Kubernetes operations....

The course can help deep understanding docker and learn about google Kubernetes that amazing product from google help deploy software or web app ,scaling, and management of containerized applications.

I already learnt GKE from Qwiklabs courses. But there are new things that I learnt now, like Architecture of K8s, Edge presence of GCP (GKE), Still there are things that can be taught about Anthos.

It would be perfect. But I had permissions problems in last lab

Error from server (Forbidden): clusterrolebindings.rbac.authorization.k8s.io is forbidden: User "google495114_student@qwiklabs.net" cannot create clusterrolebindings.rbac.authorization.k8s.io at the cluster scope: Required "container.clusterRoleBindings.create" permission.

Quite good in becoming familiar with Google Kubernetes Engine. I would suggest trying not to make it obvious that the instructor is reading as they are presenting.

The steps in the labs were spot on.

Sometimes it can be beneficial to learn from mistakes or own experimentation as long as the students have somewhere to go if they need help.

It's a good high-level overview of what Kubernetes is and how you can use it to setup CI/CD and blue-green deployment process. This course information is not enough and supplementary self-study will be required if you'd like to start using Kubernetes. There was one issue with with a final lab in which I wasn't able to install Helm.

Excellent Overview of GKE with practical labs.

Would have wanted to see more around GKE networking and storage, even if a lot of this is abstracted away inside the GKE Master (managed by Google).

The labs on deployment are also very detailed, and possibly difficult to follow if you're either new to Jenkins or Spinnaker.

There were a few issues with quiklabs but otherwise a really good course. I sort of wish the labs spent more time on what the commands were actually doing. but i get that theres some setup required thats not a part of the course content. might be better if that was scripted then if its not going to get elaborated on.

Covers a lot of ground and gives valuable insight, IMHO the only drawback is that is targeted to Google Cloud, so the examples would need significant effort to be reproduced in other environment i.e AWS, Azure or Minicube.

I also have to mention the very good support, while I needed it, been stuck in one of the labs.

The labs are great, but in many stages the instruction ask only for blind obedience instead of trying to explain what is actually happening. I think this would be useful if you already know Kubernetes, CI-CD, Jenkins, or Spinnaker and you just want to see how to use these tools within the Google Cloud Platform.

De modo geral o curso é muito bom, intuitivo e as perguntas fazem sentido.

Porém infelizmente não consegui concluir o lab no último módulo, o que para mim era o mais importante por se tratar de uma configuração de ambiente que ocorre muito no mundo real.

Se não fosse isso, seria 5 estrelas sem dúvidas.

Obrigado.

I want to first say thanks for the work that has gone into creating these labs. Some really good information and a good start with Kubernetes Engine. A few steps in several labs don't work. The first lab I was able to find suggestions on the internet in correcting the error. The 2nd lab I wasn't.

The CD section feels a bit outdated, but again that's a section which isn't of the ut most importance. This course gives a solid basic understanding of containers and orchestration and is great for anyone who wants to dive into the world of containers for the very first time!!

Pretty good course that summarizes and provides a good starting point for all these concepts, since everyone needs to start somewhere. Next time, make sure all the labs are working without outdated software and configuration file versions on a regular basis.

A very good materials on learning how the basic concept of containers and kubernetes as its orchestration tool for managing the containers. The course also propose two useful CI/CD tools, Jenkin and Spinnaker, for code pushing.

Last exercise has to options (which seems like you need to complete either Jenkins or Spinnaker). At least I had to finish both in order to complete the course. It did not matter for me, but maybe this is not the intended.

Overall topics coverage and Labs are good. Videos could have more details. To fill the gap I suggest take this course along with course on edx.org named 'LinuxFoundationX: LFS158x - Introduction to Kubernetes'.

It's bit quick to rush the materials and the lab. It provides a quick overview with guided lab instructions. Follow-up with github exercises later will be helpful to reinforce the learnings and concepts.

very useful. sometimes the labs are more a lot of commands than a path to learning the hands-on part. Could be better to explain the path during the lab in order to have an outlook of the work to be done.

Esta bien como introductorio a la tecnología, se extraña el español pero se entiende. Los laboratorios perfectos. cuidado que cuando se omiten pasos cuesta mucho darse cuenta de la falta de ellos.

Good course. But at some point I felt that I it more about simply executing the commands which were provided in labs, I think more information on commands and concepts should have been included.

Great content but grammar or text is sometimes off so it's hard as a non-native speaker to get the right sentence. Qwiklabs environment sometimes need quite some time to build a session.

This was a great course. i feel like I have a better understanding of GKE. However, I'm still feeling like I wouldn't know how to know when to use GKE in my solution and implement it.

Overall good course. Course video and quiz seem bit off. Had to do additional reading on Kubernetes. Labs were missing a few instructions. There is no option to rate 4.5 out of 5.

It is a good course. The instructor lectures are pretty bad but the resource files provided by Google make up for it. Overall, this course helped me understand GKE much better!

For me, this was a good introduction to Kubernetes capabilities, but the labs are to rushed and more time to study will be necessary for me to really understand all the concepts.

It's a nice introduction, but doesn't go deep at all, or explore different flags and features. Also, one of the lecturers mostly just reads the slides and doesn't add any value.

The content was very good and a little high level. It took me sometime to learn, understand and repeat some modules and then proceed. But overall excellent content and delivery.
