Deploy and manage enterprise virtual machines using Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
Many organizations are consolidating traditional virtual machines and containerized applications onto a common Kubernetes platform.
This course provides the practical skills required to deploy, operate, and manage virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, including networking, storage, monitoring, and lifecycle management within an OpenShift cluster.
- Why get trained: Learn how to deploy the OpenShift Virtualization operator, provision and manage virtual machines, configure virtual networking, manage persistent storage, create snapshots and golden images, and administer virtual workloads using both the OpenShift web console and command-line tools.
- Why it matters: Organizations modernizing their infrastructure require a platform that supports both virtual machines and containers without maintaining separate management environments. OpenShift Virtualization enables infrastructure teams to simplify operations, standardize administration, and support application modernization while continuing to operate existing virtual machine workloads.
- Who should attend: Virtual Machine Administrators, Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, OpenShift Administrators, Systems Administrators, Infrastructure Engineers, and IT professionals responsible for managing virtualized workloads on Red Hat OpenShift.
Develop the practical skills required to operate virtual machines on Red Hat OpenShift and support enterprise virtualization using a Kubernetes-native platform. HRD Corp Claimable.
Overview
Create and manage virtual machines by using the Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization operator.
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I: Operating Virtual Machines teaches the essential skills required to create and manage virtual machines (VMs) on OpenShift by using the Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization operator.
Skills Covered
- Describe the underlying Kubernetes architecture that supports OpenShift and how to access and identify key OpenShift cluster services by using both the web console and command-line utilities.
- Deploy the OpenShift Virtualization operator and examine the configuration options for the operator.
- Create, manage, and monitor virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
- Use comprehensive and flexible networking for virtual machines within an OpenShift environment.
- Configure and manage persistent storage for virtual machines, protect VM data through snapshots, export and import virtual machine images, and efficiently create virtual machine golden images by using cloning within a Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization environment.
Prerequisites
- This course requires no previous experience with containers, Kubernetes, and OpenShift, however, learners are encouraged to attend, before taking DO156, Containers, Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift Technical Overview (DO080).
- Although Linux skills are not required for managing OpenShift clusters and OpenShift Virtualization, operating individual Linux VMs requires Linux system administration skills that the Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) courses provide.
- Learners are encouraged to attend Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Technical Overview (DO016), before taking DO156.
Target Audience
- Virtual Machine Administrators who are looking to virtualize workloads from traditional Hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization.
- Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, and System Administrators who are interested in supporting virtualized workloads, either independently from or in the same OpenShift cluster as containerized workloads.
