Managing Virtual Machines with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

Managing Virtual Machines with OpenShift Virtualization teaches the essential skills required to create and manage virtual machines (VM) on OpenShift using the Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization operator. This course does not require previous knowledge of containers and Kubernetes.

Who Can Benefit

• Virtual Machine Administrators interested in moving virtualized workloads from traditional Hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization.
• Kubernetes Administrators (Cluster Administrators, Clusters Engineers) interested in supporting containerized and virtualized workloads in the same OpenShift cluster.
• Site Reliability Engineers interested in using GitOps and Ansible Automation to manage Virtual Machines on OpenShift.

Skills Gained

• Create VMs from installation media and disk images.
• Access text and graphical consoles of a VM.
• Connect to VMs using Kubernetes networking (services, ingress, and routes).
• Provision storage to VMs using Kubernetes storage (PVC, PV, and storage classes).
• Start, pause, and stop VMs.
• Clone and snapshot VMs.
• Connect VMs to external and extra networks (outside of the Kubernetes pod and service networks).
• Provision load balancer services for VMs and then use the services to enable SSH access to VMs.
• Connect VMs to host storage and external storage.
• Create VMs from VM Templates.
• Migrate VMs from compatible hypervisors.
