This course gave me hands-on learning experience of Google Kubernetes Engine: Workloads. The classes and lab work were impactful.

Reviewed on Apr 20, 2022

Lots of good fundamentals in here especially regarding networking and config and stateful workloads.

Reviewed on Apr 24, 2020

The course coverage is very good. The lab for config map and secrets needs to be improved in terms of contents description. For the same lab, the duration needs to be increased by 30 min.
