An excellent course from IBM on Containers (especially for Docker and Kubernetes). The Labs provided by IBM are very helpful and help to gain skills very efficiently. I highly recommend this course.

It`s a good overview of the capabilities, basic usecases, maybe a littlebit more indepth knowledge, or tricks and tips would have been nice. Like an everyday use case screnario.

Horrible course. Basically it's just a text-to-speech engine that reads a lot of dense information without any concrete use case. If you enjoy learning a bunch of command line prompts and program vocabulary by heart, this one is for you. If you want actually to learn how and when to use Docker and Kubernetes, look somewhere else.

The IA generated instructor's voice sounds unreal. As a consequence, keeping long time attention is difficult for me. More than something academic, it sounds as if you were watching a commercial.
