Yogesh, thanks for providing this training. I have been using KVM for a long while now and still needed to learn a few things which I found in Sections 3, 4 and 5. Wish you the best with your upcoming training videos. Thank you. - Nate

I think is pretty basic, I found interesting only the last section, I think it could go deeper in the xml configuration, and also include details like how to collect a memory dump.

For the first time after watching this course I managed to install and use KVM. All thanks to you and your course, I just wish you can go deeper on networking and storage topics. Nonetheless good intro to KVM and it has helped me a lot. Well done Thanks

Sehr interessanter Kurs. Gibt einen guten Überblick über KVM, Sehr positiv waren die jeweiligen Einführungen am Anfang eines Themas in schriftlicher Form Was zu kurz kommt ist das GUI. Die Übersetzung/Untertitel sollte überarbeitet werden. Gesamt: bin zufriden

This course is excellent, very well structured, no redundant content. In 2 hours you are able to get a nice overview of KVM.

I would rather improve on sound quality. It does sound like a low-end mic which captures a lot of non-intended sounds and audio quality certainly suffer.

Great course. If you are an experienced UNIX admin who understands the fundamentals, like networking, volume, fsck, then this course is for you to learn KVM. I love the discussion on various types of virtualization. Thank you.

Nice course and very knowledgeable instructor. But it would have been better to teach the entire course using virt-manager.

I've used Xen and HyperV for some time but just never got around to working with KVM. This is a nice short course on the Linux built-in hypervisor solution and covered just enough information to get things going. Instructor very knowledgeable. The only area of improvement that I think would be nice is to spend some more time on GUI interfaces. CLI is nice and very much needed but at a point most datacenters just switch to GUI interfaces. Well worth the time to take the course.

Overall great course and good delivery...Only improvements I can think of is more depth in terms of networking, storage pools, bulk VM builds etc.

Amazing course. Instructor explained the topics very well. I recommend this course to other students. One suggestion - if Instructor can share the commands/presentation he used - would be a great benefit for the students.

Yogesh mentioned in one of session - AWS is going to use KVM for their new instances ? that's going to be amazing to see how it goes, as XEN was trusted hypervisor for AWS so far. Thanks for this training Yogesh :)
