This Course Takes Feedback!
As we all know as engineers, creating a course like this can go in a million different directions. There are literally hundreds or thousands of different ways to do production Kubernetes deployments. Because of that, I want to take your feedback into consideration. If you feel that I've missed something, please tell me and I'll work on adding it. The goal of this course is for it to be a "Forever Edition".
The other part of this feedback process is my own (Michael Levans) feedback. For example, I may think in a month "Oh, I should really add a video about this into the course". I'll then record it and add it to the course at no additional charge to you. You'll get the extra video for free. This is the joy of creating on a platform like Gumroad. I can update the course whenever I want.
