Our Verdict
The 'Prometheus | The Complete Hands-On' course provides learners with solid foundational knowledge about Prometheus monitoring & alerting. However, the missing Kubernetes section and uneven depth of some topics may leave more experienced DevOps professionals wanting more. The instructor's strong Indian accent might also pose a barrier. While there is certainly value in this Udemy course, those expecting comprehensive exploration of advanced concepts will need to look elsewhere.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive coverage of Prometheus' core concepts, including architecture, installation, PromQL, exporters, functions, operators, and more.
- Hands-on examples with Python & Go web applications' instrumentation to expose Prometheus metrics using client libraries.
- Real-time case studies' monitoring & alerting design implementation using Prometheus, along with Service Discovery, Recording Rules, and Routing Trees.
- Instructor's clear explanations, thoroughness, and structured approach make complex concepts easy to understand.
- Valuable insights on building dashboards with Grafana and integration with popular alert notifiers such as Gmail, PagerDuty, and Slack.
Potential Drawbacks
- Lacking depth in some areas of the course with examples being relatively simple and not always demonstrating all aspects.
- Kubernetes part is missing from the course despite repeated promises to add it in Q&A section by the creator for over 3 years.
- Strong Indian accent of the instructor can be challenging for certain students and may hinder their motivation and ability to focus on content.
