A very heavy and interesting course. It definitely a course that I will be using as a reference as it has way too much information to just take on one go.

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.

Droning monotonous google employees reading their scripts... no challenging labs, only copy and paste. The material is better learned from a book.

Instructor simply reads from a script it seems, very boring and difficult to stay awake. One of the few bad courses I have taken. I kind of liked the labs as they do give you the hands on experience but thats it. Even the labs one can finish simply by copy pasting the content. I guess i'll look else where to learn Kubernetes.

All the information I needed for my work on Kubernetes is available in this course, starting from very basics to advanced concepts like networking, statefulsets, configmaps, secrets. The explanations were very clear and the illustrations were excellent! Apart from all the explanations, I found notes very helpful. Thanks a lot for all the effort put in by the team!

Course (including labs) is great! A lot of info on K8s. Sometimes overwhelming.
Few words about lecturers: Alex Hanna's nasal voice is not appropriate to say the least. I could hardly understand and had to refer to the text under the video to make sure I got it right.
Priyanka Vergadia is a better lecturer.

This course is brilliant and covers all necessary aspects of deploying practical applications using Kubernetes and GTK. GCP and Coursera deserve all the praise for providing us with all these opportunities and for being the best in their respective fields! Thank you.

I studied several kubernetes courses on several platforms, but this actually amazed me with its comprehensive content, simplicity, the amount of precise information, and the most important is understanding what/why/how you are working and not just typing commands.

little bit fast paced course. Lab works can be made more strict and less instructions. Quiz is main draw back here. Please increase number of questions and limit number of attempts. With the present setup, this course can be completed without watching videos.

Being new to K8s (Kubernetes) was a big stretch but this was a key piece of learning I didn't know I needed. Clearly explained with the Labs underpinning the knowledge, worth completing more than once if needed if you're new like me. Slow down... Thank you

Comprehensive course that covered a lot of the concepts needed to understand kubernetes. If you have some experience with kubernetes already, I'd recommend starting with this course rather than the foundations one which was very basic.

Its a good introductory course to the Kubernetes workloads concepts, at the end of it I am aware of the various options and when to use what. The labs were good but are very easy, would be better if they include more aspects.

It is a lot of information that gets thrown at you quickly, but it all comes together and by the end I had a much better understanding of deployments in general. Great lab work and excellent job by the instructors.

Seria buena idea presentar casos mas "reales" en los laboratorios ya que me fue un poco complicado entender la sección de volumes e imaginarme como aplicar eso en la vida cotidiana.
De todos modos, excelente curso.
