    About the Course

    Welcome to this introductory course on microservices and serverless, essential technologies for cloud native and application modernization
    workloads. Rather than building large applications, known as monoliths, that perform all the functionality, microservices break down larger
    applications into smaller pieces that are independently maintainable and scalable, providing a host of benefits. This architecture is now used in
    the largest software organizations in the world, because it provides cost benefits, team autonomy, and other advantages. Likewise, serverless
    has emerged as an increasingly popular compute option in the cloud era. Giving developers and operators the ability to run a...

    I finished this course in less than 2 weeks. The course was easy to follow and can give you a quick start on IBM cloud and Serverless Applications. Highly recommend this course.

    I have been programming for over 35 years and this was unquestionably the worst technical course I have ever taken. There were numerous issues that following the instructions didn't resolve, even after retaking the steps multiple times. There was a typo on a command where cutting and pasting the command did not work, I had to search online and fine the correct syntax for the command. This course took me significantly longer than the estimates because I had to retrace my steps and make changes that were not in the instructions in order to get it to work. Luckily I am quite good at problem solving and was able to work around these issues, but that shouldn't be necessary. Congratulations on the NASA level QA on this course. Obviously someone looked at it from the space shuttle and said "looks good from here".

    I cannot complete this course because the code engine cli won't start and continually either shows preparing or error.

    It is a bit challenging, but labs and project in a very good way are introducing the Cloud Computing technologies. I liked the classes very much.

    The 2 weeks of this course covered some good information on how to approach Microservices and Serverless methodologies. However, the last 2 weeks was mostly a repeat of Developing Cloud Native Applications and Introduction to Containers with Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift, where a couple of the slides are basically repeats from those courses. The labs were helpful in getting to know the IBM Cloud and RedHat OpenShift environments better.

    I highly recommend this course for developers and engineers who are seeking cloud skills on microservices, because this course gives very clear and comprehensive learning experience with very clear instructions for hands-on lab. The most facinating thing is all the labs about IBM Cloud and Redhat openshift cloud can be completed using their own lab environments without making accounts on them by spending money to complete the labs, which is great. Overall, great job, team. Thank you!!

    The course is excellent for everyone who wants to deploy, manage, and build applications particularly microservices with Serverless. I found optional module 6 extremely helpful because I gained hands-on experience working with OpenShift. It gives me foundational knowledge and I got curious about how it works and what else I can do with it. Therefore, I think it would be great to include it in the program material required to complete the course.

    Excellent. Kindly make sure that the Code Engine CLI sometimes spent much time to starts and as per tests, this would be due to some issue with lab/count and nothing related about personal computers.
