Good balance of beginner-level information and slightly deeper dives. I am experienced in IT/cybersecurity but new to this area, and I learned a lot.

I like the fact that it helped me glue together concepts that I already knew, but gave order and hierarchy in my mind.

This resource is suitable for newcomers to Kubernetes and Cloud Native applications, offering a foundational understanding. Additionally, it provides valuable insights into concepts, tools, and standards that can benefit individuals with prior container experience, like myself, who have worked with Docker and containers, but are new to Kubernetes.

The course was set up in an appropriate way, while still remaining precise with thorough instructions.

It really does break down not just how to use Kubernetes, but the different pieces that go into it. As a beginner, I feel that the explanation of how it works is much more meaningful than how it can be used; that understanding always makes me more inclined to see how to perform advanced commands and functions in the future.
