Very good intro to Containers, good content. I didn't give 5 stars because there are some bugs that make you lose time during the lab sessions, especially the last - and longest - one.

Don't waste your time. This course is useless. Those who aren't very knowledgeable about it won't find anything new, while those who aren't will likely not understand why it's necessary and won't learn anything. It's just a collection of short videos made from slides with an AI narration. It's not pleasant to listen to. The information is pure theory, terms, commands, and so on. There are no examples of why all this is necessary or in what real-world situations it should be used. Labs: copy a line from one half of the screen and paste it on the other half. I completed two levels and couldn't take any more.

Horrible course. Basically it's just a text-to-speech engine that reads a lot of dense information without any concrete use case. If you enjoy learning a bunch of command line prompts and program vocabulary by heart, this one is for you. If you want actually to learn how and when to use Docker and Kubernetes, look somewhere else.

The IA generated instructor's voice sounds unreal. As a consequence, keeping long time attention is difficult for me. More than something academic, it sounds as if you were watching a commercial.
