this is undoubtedly the best devops course i ever saw. and will stay in first place for very long, and it is free.

[theinnoverse]

Just finished continuous delivery pipeline chapter, and I must say, this is a must watch video for every developer out there!

[Abel_Lopez_]

I got my first job as DevOps thanks to the Valentin's Udemy Gitlab CI course implementing dynamic environments. An amazing, very clear and kind trainer. 👏🏽

[lcswillems]

I learnt so much in just few hours. Thanks a lot for this insane tutorial!!

[helixaros]

You have managed to explain concepts that difficult to comprehend in such simple manner. Great content, great delivery!

[mozartiano]

Probably the best course available, since it is free.
Content is superb.
I've beeing using ci/cd pipelines on git lab for 6 months but I didn't know how they worked exactly, so I came here to learn and after that everything makes sense and now I can even build and maintain the pipelines myself.
The pace is great, he intruduces the new techniques at the right time, making it feel like a very logical path of complementary components.
10 out of 10.

Thanks for the course, I'm halfway through and it's really good so far. Couldn't find the website initially but realised that it needs building first! Enjoyed learning how to configure the staging/production environments.
