WHAT OTHERS SAY
Great course. I went from zero to kubernetes, aka k8s, very efficiently with this video. I was hooked by another course by Sander named “Getting started with containers”. That course is a good pre-requisite for this course. Some k8s topics can be delved into forever but that is not what happens in this class. Instead we are shoved into difficult spots only as much as needed to obtain a working ability. Nearly every lesson comes with a brief and easy lab at the end so we can learn by doing. My favorite part of this class is how Sander has us repeatedly accessing k8s documentation with “kubectl explain”. This capacity is in the spirit of teaching a man to fish instead of giving him a fish. I am able to learn exactly what I need, k8s-wise, with explain, right there on the command line. Every pothole, like API version setting, and using dash-dash to enter running containers without confusing kubectl, every pothole is pointed out, usually by Sander (intentionally) stepping into the pothole that he already knows we will be stepping into. Expert instructor Sander has given me a great gift with this class and I am grateful for it. You will be too.

It’s really awesome. The way Sander has present the whole concept via videos, it too good.

Sander’s lectures are awesome. I would have liked to to learn more about the docker but as the title suggests “Getting started with Kubernetes”, I could not ask for more than that. His whiteboard explanations are just mind-blowing.

A good quick start. His whiteboarding sessions are actually the best part of the course.
