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.

The course content is very good. There was one exercise in OpenShift that I could not do in the Lab Environment. Luckily I had access to another environment where I could do it.
