Course Overview
The Introduction to Docker Kubernetes and OKD by Docker is a foundational course designed for IT professionals seeking expertise in containerization and orchestration technologies. While not directly tied to a specific certification exam, this course equips DevOps Engineers, Systems Administrators, and Cloud Infrastructure Engineers with essential skills in Docker, Kubernetes, and OKD (Origin Kubernetes Distribution). With 60.62% of Kubernetes-related job postings in Q2 2025 citing Docker as a required technology, demand for these skills remains strong across cloud-native environments. This course serves as a critical stepping stone for roles focused on modern application deployment, automation, and scalable infrastructure management.
Participants engage with core technologies including Docker Engine, Kubernetes clusters, OKD, Docker Hub, YAML configuration files, and Persistent Volumes. The hands-on lab environment enables learners to install Docker, build custom images using Dockerfiles, manage containerized applications, and configure services such as Pods, Services, Replication Controllers, and Deployment Configs within an OKD cluster. Students gain practical experience installing Code Ready Containers (CRC) for local OpenShift development and complete real-world projects like deploying NGINX and SQL applications using Source-to-Image (S2I) builds from GitHub repositories. These labs emphasize infrastructure-as-code practices through YAML manifests and ensure data persistence using Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), closely mirroring production workflows.
This training prepares candidates for advanced certifications like the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), widely recognized as the industry standard for Kubernetes proficiency. Professionals with Kubernetes expertise earn an average salary of $166,836 globally, with North American roles averaging $170,568 according to Q2 2025 data. Koenig Solutions enhances learning outcomes with its Guaranteed-to-Run delivery model, official courseware, and access to live hands-on labs, ensuring consistent scheduling and practical mastery. Upon completion, learners are positioned to advance into high-value roles such as Kubernetes Engineer or Platform Engineer, driving innovation in cloud-native application deployment and enterprise container strategies.
