I was stuck at 20 DEMO. With the commands to setup kubelet that were provided to us the kubelet service kept failing to activate and couldn't ultimately continue the course. I also would have preferred to have that demo narrated and to explain why we have to follow the instructions.

I could not see the some details (particularly; the command line text) as the font size is too small.

The course is really awesome but I think needs a big update for certain concepts as per recent releases

This course is by far the most frustating course I have taken in Udemy. There's absolutely no support (speaking as of April 2023) in the Q&A sections. the setup mentioned in the very beginning of the course is giving installation errors for many students and there's absolutely no support from the instructor or his team. Students are also unable to join Slack channel. I have wasted enough time on this.

This course strongly pushes google cloud, which has a free demo but isn't free. When going thought the installation part at the beginning, Google changed it's menus and I got stuck and was very frustrated. I ended up deleting everything. Now I need to find a new course, as this one hasn't been updated, and the other popular course I took a year ago is way to long to take over again.

Hi Srinath Challa, Your heading is best suited. The course is actually ultimate guide . I want to know is there any plan to prepare CKS . I want to know the security part too . As I will be sitting for exam both CKA and CKS in coming days. Thanks again for your excellent course.

Folks, this is one of the most prolific tutorial in Kubernetes I have ever taken. this gentleman Srinath Challa, is outstanding teaching this course. about few years ago I watched his YouTube Series on Kubernetes, by that time I had no idea what the Kubernetes was and I was so eager to learn about it. at that time, he explained how Kubernetes works in very simple term. for me this course really hit home and it was a complete home run after being involve in Kubernetes production environment for nearly 5 years. Srinath teaches the fundamental of Kubernetes with no short-cuts and that require patient and diligent. Thank you Srinath for this amazing course. really appreciate for putting such a Wonderfull Tutorial together on Kubernetes. Mathew. K

Good course as an addition to the famous Mumshad course. Prepare extensively before exam, learn fundamentals like K8S the hard way.

Wonderful explanation about CKA Exam and pre cautions. I am sure this course will be a great helpful for me to pass CKA Exam

Found that course is more like focusing towards limited items and lacking human interaction most of the time. Labs are done without audio. Practice test where provided to do at your own. Actual lesson just pass through ppt. If you really want to prepare from scratch then it won't help much. Also Helm chart or Kustomization, was not explained in detail. That's the heart of using kubernetes in real world. Just passing certification won't help,
