Course Overview
The Administering Kubernetes (ADMIN-238) course by Cloudera is an advanced, five-day instructor-led training designed for Kubernetes administrators, DevOps engineers, and cloud platform operators who manage containerized environments. While not directly tied to a Cloudera certification, the curriculum aligns closely with industry-standard competencies tested in the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam, a globally recognized credential. This course equips professionals with the skills to deploy, configure, and maintain Kubernetes clusters effectively, addressing core responsibilities such as cluster architecture, workload management, and network configuration. With Kubernetes adopted by over 75% of enterprises for container orchestration, mastering these skills is critical for maintaining resilient and scalable cloud-native infrastructure.
Participants in the Administering Kubernetes (ADMIN-238) program engage in extensive hands-on labs using a dedicated four-node Linux cluster environment, gaining practical experience with essential tools including kubectl, K9s, Visual Studio Code, and Git repositories. Students learn to build Kubernetes clusters, implement Container Network Interface (CNI) plugins, manage storage with Persistent Volumes and Storage Classes, and configure security using ConfigMaps and Secrets. A key lab component involves deploying and scaling microservices, implementing health probes, and performing cluster maintenance tasks such as etcd backups and control plane upgrades. These real-world exercises ensure administrators can troubleshoot issues, optimize resource scheduling, and maintain high availability in production-grade Kubernetes deployments.
By completing the Administering Kubernetes (ADMIN-238) course, professionals are well-prepared to pursue the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification, which is highly valued across cloud and DevOps roles. Certified Kubernetes administrators command an average salary of $120,000 annually, reflecting the high demand for these specialized skills. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and official Cloudera courseware, ensuring students receive structured, expert-led training. Graduates gain the expertise to manage complex Kubernetes environments, leading to career advancement in cloud architecture, platform engineering, and site reliability roles within enterprise IT and cloud service organizations.
