About the Course

Take the next step in your software engineering career by getting skilled in container tools and technologies! The average salary for jobs that require container skills is $137,000 in the US according to salary.com, making Devops professionals and developers with these skills highly in demand. More than 70 percent of Fortune 100 companies are running containerized applications. But why? Using containerization, organizations can move applications quickly and seamlessly among desktop, on-premises, and cloud platforms. In this beginner course on containers, learn how to build cloud native applications using current containerization tools and technologies such as Docker, container registries, Kubernetes, Red Hat, OpenShift, and Istio. Also learn how to deploy and scale your applications in any public, private, or hybrid cloud. By taking this course you will familiarize yourself with: - Docker objects, Dockerfile commands, container image naming, Docker networking, storage, and plugins - Kubernetes command line interface (CLI), or “kubectl” to manipulate objects, manage workloads in a Kubernetes cluster, and apply basic kubectl commands - ReplicaSets, autoscaling, rolling updates, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and service bindings - The similarities and differences between OpenShift and Kubernetes Each week, you will apply what you learn in hands-on, browser-based labs. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build a container image, then deploy and scale your container. The skills taught in this course are essential to anyone in the fields of software development, back-end & full-stack development, cloud architects, cloud system engineers, devops practitioners, site reliability engineers (SRE), cloud networking specialists and many other roles....

The course content is very good. There was one exercise in OpenShift that I could not do in the Lab Environment. Luckily I had access to another environment where I could do it.

A good introduction to Docker, Kubernetes and OpenShift. I really enjoyed the hand-on labs. They're an efficient way to understand how abstract concepts can be applied.

One of the worst courses I ever had. 1) Information is given poorly 2) The videos do not have any sense because most of them are just voiced text with pictures without describing things in an understandable way 3) The assignments it is just copy/paste 4) The platforms are bugged 4) Many people complain about the quality of the materials, but I haven't even seen detailed answers and plans or even promises to change it. In summary i think it is a shame for IBM to have this course.

It didn't meet my expectations. On the one hand, the videos are slides with the voice of an AI, where concepts are poured out without deep explanations. On the other hand, tasks consist of executing given commands, making some changes, and seeing the results. It is not a suitable course for deploying containers in real-life jobs.

Minimal efforts are put while creating the whole course. All I heard was a robotic voice going over all concepts recklessly. I don't think this is a very digestible content and I still don't feel very confident applying the concepts I learned. Disappointed by IBM..

The introduction to Docker and Kubernetes is rather short and shallow. The remainder of the course focuses on a very buggy and slow web UI to manage Kubernetes, which seems completely unnecessary. I recommend to use the official Kubernetes tutorials instead.

It's like textbook, only gives concepts with very few examples. Explains the 'what it does' not 'how it does it'. Worst of all, it is very lacking in labs, should provide at least 2 practice examples for each week topic.

Absolute worst. The machine voice is annoying already, and there is no explanation by a human instructor nor even a glimpse of effort to make the topic understandable. Learned nothing. Absolute garbage.

Too much information on Kubernetes. It should be taken slowly, step by step. Useless tutorial as it goes to advanced level. I have to study too much from elsewhere.

This a horrible course! The speaker is a pain to listen to, the content is read off a text book much too fast...

Rafano's courses are a positive example!

I could not finish the course because of failures in openshift web console app. It never worked when trying to open the lab for per grade assignment.

This is a copy paste from a corporate training.

There was not even a real professor but it was just an AI voice over of slides.

The course is good in general but the labs have many errors and do not allow to finish the course in time.

Lab has some problem with url ?

I would say the course was a good, somewhat technical introduction to containers, kubernetes, docker and open shift. I would also say that the final assignment can be difficult to complete as you are to submit screenshots of version 1 of the app you deploy, but you are also tasked with replacing that version during the final lab assignment. How can you capture a screenshot of something that doesn't exist? I had read what was needed for the assignment, so I was able to take screenshots as I went through the assignment.

The instructor really knows their stuff, explaining complex ideas in a way that's easy to understand and interesting. It's a well-organized journey for beginners, giving you a solid base if you're getting into container orchestration. I highly recommend it for its clear explanations, in-depth content, and hands-on learning style

Introduction to Containers w/ Docker, Kubernetes & OpenShift" is an excellent course! It offers a clear and concise overview of containerization and orchestration technologies. The instructors are knowledgeable, and the hands-on labs are invaluable. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about containers.

The course is a very good introduction of the core concepts underlying containers and container orchestration. The hands-on are very helpful in understanding the concepts. Once the core concepts are understood well, of which this course does a good job, one can easily ramp up on the details looking at the documentation.

This is a great course. If you are a beginner or don't know too much about Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShit, this course will help you improve your skills in this technology. I learned a lot about Kubernetes, how to deploy, scale and manage containerized applications.

I really love the theory and the hands-on lab. I had experience using VPS and Nginx. So for me it was amazing to learn about kubernetes. I'd love to have more hands-on lab. But i think since is an introduction is fine. To me i highly recommend this course.

Introduction to Containers w/ Docker, Kubernetes & OpenShift is a comprehensive and hands-on course that seamlessly bridges the gap between containerization and cloud-native application deployment, making it a must-take for DevOps enthusiasts

Many thanks to the team that made this course!

If before starting it I was absolutely not aware of what Docker and subsequent technologies are, now I know much more and have a good understanding of these.

Thank you!

great couse!

the hands on lab is a little bit challenging. The openshift part blocked me for some time as I encountered some technical issues. The tuning is somehow difficult for individuals without experience.

I nice course could use a bit more details in the lab parts to further explain the containerization and a bit more details on OpenShift is required . Overall a really interesting course yet again.

It's a recommended course for those who wanna step into the world of DevOps. The practice is well-designed for beginners and requires merely a fundamental background knowledge.
