Managing Virtual Machines with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (DO316)

GA Date: November 21st, 2024 

Course Overview 

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

This course provides:

• Skills required to create, access, and manage VMs on OpenShift clusters.
• Skills required to control usage and access of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources for VMs by using the same Kubernetes features that would also control usage and access to these resources for containers.
• Sample architectures to manage High Availability (HA) of VMs using standard Kubernetes features and extensions from OpenShift Virtualization.
• Strategies to connect VMs on OpenShift to data center services outside of their OpenShift cluster, such as storage and databases.
• Strategies to migrate VMs from compatible hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization by using the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization operator. 

This course is based on Red Hat® OpenShift® 4.16.
