Configure production-ready virtual machines on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
This course develops the practical skills required to configure and manage production virtual machines using Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization and Kubernetes.
- Why get trained: Learn how to configure authentication and role-based access control (RBAC), implement advanced networking for virtual machines, migrate workloads using the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV), protect virtual machines with OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP), create reusable templates and instance types, and configure workload scheduling and high availability.
- Why it matters: Production virtualization platforms must support secure administration, resilient infrastructure, predictable workload placement, and reliable recovery capabilities. Understanding these operational components enables infrastructure teams to standardize virtual machine deployments, simplify migration from legacy hypervisors, and maintain service availability across OpenShift clusters.
- Who should attend: Virtual Machine Administrators, Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, OpenShift Administrators, Kubernetes Administrators, Systems Administrators, Infrastructure Engineers, and IT professionals responsible for operating production virtual machine environments on Red Hat OpenShift.
Develop the operational skills required to configure secure, resilient, and production-ready virtual machine environments using Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. HRD Corp Claimable.
Overview
Create production-ready virtual machines and their supporting Kubernetes and OpenShift resources in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration II: Configuring Virtual Machines addresses critical challenges in managing virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
This course teaches IT Operations teams the skills to enable advanced networking features for virtual machines and cluster nodes, to migrate virtual machines from other hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization, to provide data protection and backups of virtual machines, to create efficient and standardized provisioning of virtual machines, and to provide high availability to virtual machines with Kubernetes resources.
Skills Covered
- Understand OpenShift OAuth server concepts and custom resources, including their function in Kubernetes authentication, and define and implement role-based access controls and user permissions.
- Enable comprehensive and flexible networking for nodes and virtual machines within an OpenShift environment.
- Migrate virtual machines from another hypervisor to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization by using the migration toolkit for virtualization (MTV) operator.
- Back up and restore virtual machines by using the OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP) operator.
- Create and manage custom instance types, templates, and boot sources to provision virtual machines.
- Control the placement of virtual machines on cluster nodes by using Kubernetes resources, and rebalance virtual machine workloads across cluster nodes by enabling descheduler evictions.
- Implement high-availability virtual machines that are resilient to failures, planned maintenance, and cluster upgrades by configuring Kubernetes resources
Prerequisites
- Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I: Operating Virtual Machines (DO156)
- Although Linux skills are not required for managing OpenShift clusters and OpenShift Virtualization, operating individual Linux VMs requires Linux system administration skills that the following courses provide:
- Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) for managing the OS inside a Linux VM.
Target Audience
- Virtual Machine Administrators who are looking to migrate 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.
