Course Overview

The DevSecOps – Kubernetes Pipeline Security course by Open Source is designed for professionals aiming to integrate security into modern cloud-native development workflows. This comprehensive training prepares learners for the LFS262 certification exam and serves roles such as DevSecOps Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), and Cloud Security Specialists. With 78% of enterprises adopting DevSecOps practices to reduce vulnerabilities and accelerate secure software delivery, this course meets growing industry demand. It equips participants with the skills to automate security across CI/CD pipelines, secure containerized applications, and enforce compliance in Kubernetes environments using open source tooling.

Participants engage with key technologies including Kubernetes, Docker, Git, SonarQube, OWASP ZAP, and HashiCorp Vault, gaining hands-on experience in a cloud-based lab environment using platforms like AWS or Google Cloud. The course features practical labs where students build and secure end-to-end CI/CD pipelines, configure static and dynamic application security testing (SAST and DAST), scan container images for vulnerabilities, and enforce policy-as-code in Kubernetes deployments. A core project involves implementing a secure DevSecOps pipeline that integrates Software Composition Analysis (SCA), runtime security monitoring, and secrets management, simulating real-world scenarios faced by security and operations teams in production environments.

This course prepares candidates for the LFS262: Implementing DevSecOps certification, recognized across the open source and cloud-native communities for validating practical DevSecOps expertise. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 20-25%, with DevSecOps roles commanding median salaries over $130,000 in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with 1-on-1 instructor support and Guaranteed-to-Run batches, ensuring access to official courseware and hands-on labs. Graduates emerge ready to lead secure cloud-native transformations, reduce breach risks, and advance into senior security automation and platform engineering roles.
