Our Verdict
With strong emphasis on hands-on learning, this course excels in teaching you Prometheus setup and exporter installation. However, it falls short when it comes to more intricate subjects like PromQL and Grafana integration. While providing an impressive foundation for monitoring systems, aspiring DevOps professionals might need further resources to fully grasp the complexities of Prometheus' orchestration with Kubernetes or container environments.
What We Liked
- In-depth coverage of Prometheus setup and configuration

Potential Drawbacks
- Limited focus on PromQL, without exploring advanced features
- Minimal guidance on using Prometheus with Kubernetes (K8S) or containers
