Course Overview

DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II: Building and Deploying Cloud-Native Applications with Exam is a comprehensive training program by Red Hat designed for application developers, DevOps engineers, and site reliability engineers seeking to master cloud-native development on OpenShift. This course prepares candidates for the Red Hat Certified OpenShift Application Developer Exam (EX288), a performance-based certification validating real-world deployment skills. With 85% of Fortune 500 companies adopting containerized architectures, demand for OpenShift expertise continues to surge. The curriculum targets professionals responsible for migrating legacy applications or building new microservices-based solutions on Kubernetes, equipping them with the skills to accelerate application delivery in enterprise DevOps environments.

Students engage with core technologies including Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, OpenShift Pipelines (based on Tekton), Helm charts, Kustomize, and container registries, using both the OpenShift web console and oc CLI. The hands-on lab environment, delivered via Red Hat Online Learning (ROL) cloud, enables learners to build, deploy, and manage containerized applications in real time. Participants configure CI/CD pipelines, implement health checks using liveness and readiness probes, and deploy multi-container applications using templates and modern packaging tools. A key project involves designing and automating a full continuous deployment workflow for a cloud-native application, simulating enterprise-scale deployment scenarios across hybrid environments like Azure Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift on AWS.

By completing DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II: Building and Deploying Cloud-Native Applications with Exam, learners earn the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Application Development credential, a globally recognized certification that counts toward the Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA) pathway. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 20–30%, with experienced OpenShift developers earning between ₹14–32 LPA in India and $110,000–$150,000 in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances this training with official Red Hat courseware, 1-on-1 instructor support, and a Guaranteed-to-Run schedule, ensuring every enrolled batch proceeds without cancellation. Graduates emerge ready to lead cloud-native transformation, driving faster time-to-market and scalable, resilient application architectures in modern IT organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the DO289 training course

Is the certification exam included in the DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II: Building and Deploying Cloud-Native Applications with Exam course?
Yes, the Red Hat Certified OpenShift Application Developer Exam (EX288) is included in the DO289 course fee. A standalone exam costs $400 USD, but this fee is waived when you enroll in our comprehensive training package, which bundles both the course and the official exam voucher.
What training formats does Koenig offer for DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II, and is Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling available?
Koenig offers DO289 in live online, classroom, 1-on-1, and self-paced Flexi formats. All batches are Guaranteed-to-Run, meaning they proceed regardless of enrollment numbers. This ensures reliable scheduling for your career development, allowing you to master cloud-native applications with expert instructors in your preferred learning environment.
How long is lab access provided for DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II, and what environment is used?
Koenig provides 30 days of post-training lab access for DO289 via Red Hat’s Online Learning Environment. You will practice on a live OpenShift cluster, gaining hands-on experience with Helm, Kustomize, and OpenShift Pipelines in a secure, cloud-based sandbox accessible from any location.
What is Koenig's rescheduling and cancellation policy for the DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II course?
Koenig allows free rescheduling for DO289 if requested at least 10 days before the start date. Changes within 10 days incur a 50% fee of the total course cost. Each session can be rescheduled only once, and all requests must be submitted via written notice.
What is the format, duration, and passing criteria for the EX288 exam included in DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II?
The EX288 exam is a 3-hour performance-based test. You will complete real-world deployment tasks on a live OpenShift cluster with no multiple-choice questions. Performance is evaluated against objective criteria, typically requiring a score of 70% or higher to achieve certification.
How long is the Red Hat Certified OpenShift Application Developer certification valid, and how is it renewed?
This certification is valid for 3 years from the date earned. To renew, you must pass the current version of the EX288 exam. Alternatively, earning a higher-level credential, such as the Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA), automatically renews your existing certifications for another 3 years.
What post-training support does Koenig provide after completing DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II?
Koenig offers 30 days of post-training support for DO289, including access to session recordings, official courseware, and 6 hours of free trainer consultation. You also receive exam preparation materials and mentor access to clarify technical doubts and ensure your certification success.
What are the prerequisites for enrolling in DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II: Building and Deploying Cloud-Native Applications with Exam?
The recommended prerequisite is completion of Red Hat OpenShift Development I (DO188) or equivalent experience. While RHCSA certification is helpful for command-line proficiency, it is not required. You should have foundational knowledge of containers, Kubernetes, and standard application development workflows.
What salary increase and career advancement can the DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II certification bring?
Professionals with this certification report an average salary increase of 20–25%, with cloud-native developers earning $110,000–$130,000 in the U.S. Roles include OpenShift Developer and DevOps Engineer. Seventy-eight percent of students report career advancement within six months of completing the course.
How does DO289 Red Hat OpenShift Developer II compare to self-study for EX288 exam preparation?
DO289 provides structured, hands-on training with expert instructors, official labs, and exam alignment, significantly increasing pass rates. Self-learners lack guided environments and real-time feedback. Koenig’s course includes exam vouchers, 30-day lab access, and expert support—resources essential for mastering complex cloud-native application deployments.
