Course Overview

The Mirantis Advanced Kubernetes Operations course is designed for IT professionals aiming to master production-grade Kubernetes cluster management, specifically preparing for the CN320 certification exam. This advanced training targets infrastructure engineers, cloud architects, and DevOps specialists responsible for deploying, securing, and maintaining Kubernetes environments at scale. With 97% of Fortune 100 companies adopting Kubernetes in production, demand for skilled operators has surged, making this certification a critical differentiator. The curriculum builds on foundational Kubernetes knowledge, focusing on real-world operational challenges faced by teams managing large-scale containerized workloads.

Students engage with key technologies including Kubespray for high-availability cluster bootstrapping, Helm for application packaging, Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring, Fluentd and Kibana for logging, Istio for service mesh implementation, and Velero for cluster backup and disaster recovery. The hands-on labs are conducted in a Strigo.io-based virtual environment where learners configure a full EFK (Elasticsearch, Fluentd, Kibana) stack, deploy GitOps pipelines using Flux, implement canary rollouts with Istio, and secure the software supply chain using image registries with content trust. A capstone scenario involves designing a resilient, monitored, and auto-scaled production Kubernetes cluster with full backup and recovery procedures, mirroring enterprise operational standards.

This course directly prepares candidates for the Mirantis CN320 certification, recognized for validating advanced Kubernetes operational expertise in enterprise environments. Certified professionals report median salaries of $6,510 per month, with senior roles reaching $9,000–$14,000+ monthly, reflecting a 15–20% premium over general DevOps positions. Koenig Solutions enhances this path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Mirantis courseware, and 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring mastery of complex topics like Kubernetes Operators and GitOps patterns. Completing Advanced Kubernetes Operations positions learners to lead cloud-native infrastructure initiatives, drive platform reliability, and advance into senior cloud architect or Kubernetes engineering roles.
