Overall good course. Course video and quiz seem bit off. Had to do additional reading on Kubernetes. Labs were missing a few instructions. There is no option to rate 4.5 out of 5.

My suggestion is that since every lab recommends stealth mode for browsers, better to tell the students at the beginning to take this course in stealth mode.

I really liked this Kubernetes and Google Kubernetes engine introduction course. Good video material and aditional reading information. I liked labs and quizes too.
