very useful course , i attend full course and it contains very imp concepts in very simple way .

By Luciano Francisco Adonis Villarroel on 11/13/2023

It is very useful to understand some advanced issues you can see when your Apps grow and increase in complexity. Sadly, by then, you had already grasped a few scattered ideas of the different pains but never got the chance to understand better from scratch the concepts that you omitted learning because you didn't need them at the beginning to work with EKS. Truly suggested to reinforce your knowledge.

This course provides enough details that I can further apply or customize the cluster I works with.

By Sameer Meher on 7/13/2023

Excellent course. Lot of great insights into Security and Networking aspects in EKS. Really liked the Calico CNI plugin as a saviour for IP exhaustion from Private Subnets.

Excellent round up of advance stuff in k8s and eks, apt to the point of discussion and paced well.

By Mathew Kargarzadeh on 12/17/2021

excellent illustration on EKS default network CNI on how the pods ips get assigned. and also how to calculate how many pods can run on each instance type. which gives you a heads up how to provision EKS node group ec2 type. Thanks !!

By James Render on 3/10/2021

Good course. Nice length and pace to it. I would have liked a few more diagrams to illustrate some of the explanations rather than looking at a console.

By Ahmed Fawzi on 3/7/2021

Great content. Thank you so much. Timely as well. So really pleased. More clarity about differences between Calico CNI vs. Calico Policy with AWS CNI would have been great. the main difference seems to be using Calico CNI to fully manage the networking. If so, when that would be beneficial

Karan knows the K8S on AWS (EKS) stuff well. For you to take this course, you need to have basics of K8S but full marks to Karan for both of his course on EKS, well done!!
