Dommage que ce cours ne soit pas donné en français. Suivre avec le sous-titrage n'est pas optimal et empêche de se concentrer sur les manipulations réalisées pendant le cours.

Je très satisfait. Une remarque cependant : dans un des quizz, je ne suis pas d'accord sur le rôle premier d'un dépôt de code source (code repository) : ce n'est pas la génération continue, mais le versionnement du code.

Chapter 1 was really good. As i m a beginner, Chapter 2 was bit of difficult for me. But content and speed is good for beginner overall. Thanks.

By Anonymized User on 2/17/2026
Thank you for explaining DevOps in a more non-technical and functional way. Really appreciate for creating such content, very much helpful, particularly the hands-on demo is really helped to connect the dots with the theory covered in the initial part. Good Job !!!
By Rakesh Thatipally on 2/15/2026
Section-1 and 2, both are well explained in simple language and topics are easy to understand. I just need to implement these skills in real scenarios to improve further. Thank you.
By Pallavi Kotian on 1/16/2026
Microservice ,Lamda ,containers are required to be explained more without using technical jargons as most of the non tech will not be aware about vm and other tech terms
