Testimonials
The subject matter was very interesting, and Reda is truly an expert. Going through the labs was fun, and really did help connect the dots from the lectures.

I really enjoyed the background on the technologies and how different virtualization entities played together and intermixed. I also really appreciated the DevOps discussion, though it went very fast compared with the rest of the material. That said, not many attendees were interested in the DevOps portion.

The lab materials and hands on exercise is very useful to get a better understanding of the key concepts
