Course Description

"Great intro and definitions. This course is interesting and commands my attention. Love it." -Sandeep

"Just wow. One of the very best technical overviews I've experienced. A great deal of material presented logically and with good pacing. As a PM working with a DevOps team, I understood parts of the picture but needed a high-level overview and this was incredibly helpful. I'll definitely check out his other courses."  -Harold

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.

Very intuitive and easy to digest, I remember what i learnt and I can walk myself through the processes in my mind

The course was good. The delivery style of the facilitator got have been more better. Overall experience was good.

By Monir AITTAHAR on 3/12/2026

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.

By Vishvesh Phal Desai on 3/8/2026

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 Kazi Masum Sadique on 2/19/2026

A very nice course to learn about DevOps, with organized easy to understand lectures and materials.

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
