Course Overview
The OKD Administration II course by OKD is designed for IT professionals responsible for managing and maintaining production-grade Kubernetes environments using the Origin Kubernetes Distribution. This advanced training prepares learners for the skills required to operate and secure OKD clusters, particularly targeting roles such as Platform Administrators, Site Reliability Engineers, and DevOps Engineers. Participants will build on foundational knowledge to master cluster configuration, multi-tenancy management, and security enforcement—critical capabilities as enterprise adoption of container platforms grows. With over 70% of Fortune 500 companies now running containerized workloads in production, expertise in OKD administration positions professionals at the forefront of modern infrastructure operations.
This course covers key technologies including OpenShift Container Platform, Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), Helm, Kustomize, network policies, and HTPasswd identity provider integration. Students engage in hands-on labs within a dedicated virtual lab environment featuring full access to OKD clusters, where they configure authentication mechanisms, deploy operator-managed services, implement role-based access control (RBAC), and secure inter-pod communication using network policies. A core lab project involves building a multi-tenant cluster that enables developer self-service while enforcing security boundaries, simulating real-world scenarios faced by enterprise platform teams. Learners also practice updating clusters with minimal disruption and deploying applications through parameterized manifests, preparing them for operational challenges in hybrid and cloud-native deployments.
OKD Administration II prepares candidates for professional Kubernetes administration roles and aligns with industry-recognized certifications such as the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), which commands an average salary of $130,000 annually. Graduates gain practical expertise that directly translates to improved cluster reliability and security in production environments. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning experience with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official courseware, ensuring consistent, high-quality training delivery. Upon completion, professionals are equipped to lead OKD cluster operations, drive DevOps initiatives, and advance into senior infrastructure or platform engineering roles in organizations leveraging Kubernetes at scale.
