Course Overview
The Kubernetes Storage Expert course by Open Source is designed for DevOps engineers, platform administrators, and site reliability engineers (SREs) seeking mastery in containerized storage management. This training prepares candidates for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Data Foundation exam (EX370), a key credential for professionals managing enterprise Kubernetes storage. With 83% of Fortune 500 companies now running Kubernetes in production according to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, demand for experts who can manage persistent storage at scale has surged. The course equips learners with the skills to handle stateful applications, dynamic provisioning, and data resilience across hybrid cloud environments.
Participants engage with core technologies including Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF), Ceph storage components, Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers, StorageClasses, Persistent Volumes (PVs), and Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs). Through hands-on labs in the OpenShift web console and command-line environment, students configure ODF clusters using internal mode, implement file, block, and object storage for applications, and ensure critical services like monitoring and logging use dedicated storage. A key project involves backing up and restoring application data using Kubernetes CSI APIs, simulating real-world disaster recovery scenarios. These labs mirror production workflows, enabling learners to build, monitor, and troubleshoot storage systems just as they would in enterprise settings.
This course directly prepares learners for the EX370 certification, which is recognized across industries as proof of advanced Kubernetes storage competence. Certified specialists report average salary increases of 20–25%, with Kubernetes engineers earning up to $118,424 annually per industry surveys. Koenig Solutions enhances this path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official OpenShift lab environments, ensuring consistent, instructor-led practice. By mastering storage lifecycle management, capacity planning, and troubleshooting with tools like ODF and Ceph, graduates position themselves for advancement into senior cloud infrastructure and platform engineering roles.
What You'll Learn
Prerequisites
- Candidates for the Kubernetes Storage Expert training course should possess a Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) certification, or demonstrate equivalent experience managing Kubernetes clusters running version 1.25 or higher. Proficiency in Linux system administration is essential for configuring, troubleshooting, and optimizing storage within container platforms. A solid understanding of Kubernetes storage concepts, including Persistent Volumes, Persistent Volume Claims, and StorageClasses, is required to manage scalable storage resources. Hands-on experience with Container Storage Interface drivers and dynamic volume provisioning is highly recommended for efficient resource deployment. Familiarity with standard Kubernetes command-line tools like kubectl is necessary to implement and troubleshoot storage solutions. Basic knowledge of storage technologies such as SAN, NAS, and object storage is important for selecting appropriate solutions for containerized applications. This skill-based training course is designed to provide technical expertise in container storage management rather than issuing an official vendor certification.
