By Urban Wright on 12/11/2025
The way complicated tools and processes are organized into simple parts makes everything easier to understand. I left knowing exactly what I need to learn next and why it's important.

It describes continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) in a clear way, showing how these processes work in real projects.
By Peter Ackermann on 10/28/2025
Ein sehr guter Kurs mit Einblicken in DevOps mit hervorragenden Erklärungen zu den einzelnen Phasen. Lasst euch von der Dauer des Kurses nicht erschrecken - ca. 80% der 5,5 Stunden im Abschnitt 4 sind Aufzeichnungen, wie die Tools installiert werden. Ansonsten vielen Dank an Imran für wieder einmal übersichtliche Erklärungen in sehr kurzweiligen Videos.

Currently like an hour or so in this lecture, and I must say this is one of the best DevOps training deliveries that I have ever came across. I will like to dive into practical aspect of this lecture before I can rate these 5 stars.
