It was so nice experience to learn Kubernetes. Resource and Lab works are very helpful to gain knowledge. I am looking forward to learn more about Kubernetes in advance level. Thank you!

Excellent course. Lots of hands-on and good amount of videos. I need to redo the Jenkin's lab and Spinnaker's lab again to be able to apply the concepts in real world.

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.
