The course is well put together making it easy for beginners to understand concepts and how they are applied in a reality. However, it would be great if the trainer added practical demo for pacemaker or keep alive in order to demonstrate how one can avoid a SPOF at the Load Balancer level.

Good match on the content side, but poor video production. There is a very annoying echo in the audio, lots of background noises, etc. If this course was professionnaly produced, it would be very good!

Overall, the course is good and the instructor has taken efforts to make this right to the point. But, I was expecting more in the lines of 'stick-table' and HAproxy's SSL configuration (pass-through, bridging, termination) in detail.

The course gave a very descriptive yet concise detailing of haProxy. I was happy with the information and timeframe of the lectures. Only gripe was the audio mixing was low, but the oration well spoken so not a big deal

It does not cover how to set up or configure haproxy .. also the env setup is skipped....goes directly to three vm's setup. Best to avoid this course

I have a mixed feeling after completing the course, I don't want to be totally negative as course provided some good information which I didn't know and can be useful for a new haproxy learner. My Review about this course: The course can be useful if you're totally new to HAProxy You will be going to know in and out of HAproxy for sure It may not be sufficient if you're looking for an expert course. Improvement Suggestion: Author English was not that good maybe English is his 2nd language which he speaks. Overall navigation from one topic to another was not that smooth. I wish if we could have some more theoretical cases which could give us more aware of the use cases.

Der Kurs an sich ist in Ordnung, die Sprache des Trainers ist anstrengend. Mittelmäßiges Englisch und sehr starker Akzent.

It is a good course for a biginner. Would have been better if there was a bit more detail about SSL, such as passthrough options etc. Also I feel configuring high availability among two haproxy servers is important and could have been covered in more detail. I would recommend if one needs to get the basics covered.

It's nice course to explore, revise HAPROXY basics. Would be nice if there will be an advanced course in the future covering HAPROXY reverse proxy configurations, administration etc.,

It was to the point and crisp, so it is good starting point for the beginner will give you idea about the small concepts that create confusion in your mind as beginner.

It can be difficult to hear Hadi because of his strong accent but he demonstrates a clear knowledge and competence with HA Proxy and that is most important! The course offered what I was expecting - coverage of the core functionality - and I think I can manage our own HA Proxy implementation better because of it. The Practice Example was one of my favourite videos and perhaps another one would be helpful in fleshing out some more ideas through playing with the checks and backend parameters.

Its very nice beginner course. The instructor knows what he is talking about. I think that it could go deeper with more examples of real life like ipv6, ssh, etc. But I have fun and enjoyed a lot!
