This course contain peer review grading.

Please note that you might not get your grading unless you actively look for peers in the forum.

You might not get the correct grade cause not everyone is skilled in grading assessment.

You might not pass the course cause your peer might fail your assessment without properly grading.

As a technical course I have no idea why IBM choose to have peer review grading as the final assessment, they should at least put a warning on the course description.

I have just finished a Red Hat training and is from another league. it includes Guided Hands-on and written training support, real-life scenarios.

This training hugely lacks the hands-on/ real-life approach like:

here is Docker. this is the command line this is the file, etc.

The voice seems to be text to speech. (I hope I am not wrong because I do not intend to offend anyone. My only point is that I don't see the target of the training. If you want me to use Docker on IBM cloud, let's see how we can actually use it)

I went through the first week but I decided it is not well-invested time. Overall it is good if you know nothing about Docker but it will not make you familiar with it either.

This was a really bad course.

I wanted to learn docker, and they do cover some basic docker-related stuff, so I gave an extra star.

The first four weeks are assessed by multi-choice quizzes, but they aren't challenging; and some of the questions are open to debate.

There are hands-on labs that _should_ help you secure your understanding of the concepts in the course. Great, I thought maybe I'll get to work out what commands I ought to use to achieve X with docker / K8S.... Well, they just have copy-and-paste answers sitting next to the sandbox command-line tool.

The hands-on labs aren't assessed; also some of them weren't working when I worked through them.

This course gives a nice overview about containers. That's about it, however.

Many command line examples and configuration files are only explained vaguely and the labs (including the final graded one) resemble guided tours rather than playgrounds. One or two of the labs were broken and the forums are full of calls for help or assistance that are being ignored by mentors (should there be any).

Finally, the graded quizzes are often phrased imprecisely or delve on trivia and things that were only mentioned in passing.

I have to be very honest, I found this course a bit of a problem. Some of the practicals didn't work.

Also the final assignment was very clear either.

The course content is fine, but the final project is an absolute mess and is impossible to complete.

Like all the other courses in the IBM Cloud Fullstack developer certification, the quality is extremely poor. Please don't waste your time or money on these courses or the certification.

I would love so much to give the course more than one star. As the course started, I was very happy to see that two wonderful gentlemen are going to lead the course. BUT to my surprise all video materials have been read by an awful AI, which made my experience so bad at understanding or gaining any benefits of these videos. Labs were very good but materials overall could be so much better explained and organized. I'm sorry again for the one star but maybe this would help to address some of these issues.

This is not a course. It's just a demo to show that Docker is good! You will learn nothing from a narrator who I don't know if they are human or AI. Just know that without any emotion, she just reads a script, and it's not an educational course! Shame on IBM.

Just trash. Microsoft powerpoint presentation and a completely soulless narrator who doesn't know what she is saying. Time wasted. Reading documentation would have been more fun. Two stars and not one because preparing lab environments seems like a big effort.

Material and concepts covered extremely quickly, and labs that were completely unusable.

Course is really good, lots of practice on the command line. But for the final graded assignment, you should have taken screenshots of your progress throughout the course. You are only told by the end of the course where lots of information are not available any longer, and you have to recreate most of the steps to take the necessary screenshots to complete the course.

Seems like a decent overview. The course is very specific to IBM cloud, so if you are looking for a more agnostic course, this may not be for you.

The course requires you to create a free account from cloud.ibm.com but due to a change in IBM policy, you can't do that anymore. You need to enter your credit card and create a non-free account.

Anyway, I think it is ok to pay some amount and create my own account to complete this course. But no success, the site charged an amount from my credit card while giving an error on the welcome page. I gave up and took another course.

As the information in the course is outdated, I am dissappointed.

I audited this course, but it was pretty much what I hoped for. Nice hands on exercises that are the core of a good training course for me.

The IBM cloud account creation did not work. The support had to do it manually. The outcome was an account, which was not authorised to create a namespace, which was one of the first instructions in a lab. I hope support will fix this.

EDIT: Support did not fix the account, they created the namespace manually and got back to me, of course the next step failed immediately as I was no able to create a Natural Language Understandin serive required for the final exam. A staff member in the discussion forum replied and claimed I could use a pay-as-you-go account even though a working trial account was part of the course I am paying for. This is literally the worst customer experience I ever whitnessed.

The material is great, thorough but it's a friendly introduction to various container technologies and with the opportunity to practice, not only watch. The lab was a bit hard to work with because there were various problems/bugs with it every now and then, but the course forum was helpful and I could even help others, so overall it was a great experience.

Курс неплохой, особенно для понимания основ контейнеризации. Плюс дается понимание OpenShift на базовом уровне. Отдельное спасибо за очень технологичные и качественные лабораторные работы. за это отдельное 5+

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 was really helpful and cleared the concept and idea behind using containers. The hands-on lab exercise helped me in understanding the code in a better way.

Great introduction course! The tools provided by IBM and OpenShift are a must to anyone who wants run and scaling containerized applications in the cloud with ease.

This course was easy to understand and follow. The hands-on labs were well done and very helpful in understanding and reinforcing the topics.

Logical curriculum with very good practice in the labs. Instructions in the labs and the documentation is well prepared very comprehensible.

Excellent course with foundations. Can be more helpful, if a person will explain concepts. Great labs

Demanding but achievable in short time great result, thanks and good luck.
