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.

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.

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.

Good intro to docker containers, kubernetes and openshift. Most topics are high level, Docker alone is given about a week's worth of material.
