Future-proof your virtualization strategy.

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, a feature of Red Hat OpenShift, allows IT teams to run virtual machines alongside containers on the same platform, simplifying management and improving time to production.

OpenShift Virtualization lets VM administrators bring VMs into containerized workflows by running a VM within a container, where they can deploy and manage VMs side-by-side with containers, all on a single platform. This allows organizations to benefit from their existing investments in virtualization, while taking advantage of the simplicity and speed of a modern application platform.

OpenShift gives organizations a path to a cloud-native future, while letting them keep existing workloads running in VMs on a single platform.

Overview

Create and manage virtual machines on OpenShift using the Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization operator.

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 Red Hat 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 from VMs 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.

Skills Covered

  • 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).
  • Connect VMs to host storage and external storage.
  • Ansible management of VMs.
  • Create VMs from VM Templates.

Prerequisites

Target Audience

  • 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.

Exam & Certification

Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization (EX316)

A Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization is able to deploy and manage virtual machines in a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform environment. The skills and knowledge associated with this certification can be applied to both self-managed editions of OpenShift as well as managed services editions like Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) and Azure Red Hat OpenShift.

A Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization is able to:

  • Deploy the OpenShift virtualization operator
  • Run and access virtual machines
  • Configure Kubernetes networking for virtual machines
  • Connect virtual machines to external networks
  • Configure Kubernetes storage for virtual machines
  • Manage virtual machine templates
  • Manage virtual machine snapshots
  • Clone virtual machines
  • Perform virtual machine live migrations
  • Perform node maintenance and OpenShift Virtualization updates
  • Manage virtual machine load balancing with Kubernetes networking resources
  • Configure health probes for virtual machines
  • Prepare virtual machines for node failure

Training & Certification Guide

OpenShift Virtualization allows organizations to realize operational savings by managing virtualized workloads and containerized workloads together using the same orchestration and clustering infrastructure provided by Red Hat OpenShift.

Deploying Virtual Machines (VMs) on OpenShift also eases integration of traditional server-based applications with more modern cloud-native applications and their supporting practices such as CI/CD, DevOps, and SRE to take advantage of quicker time-to-market and other benefits from these practices, without having to first redesign virtualized workloads as container-native workloads.

IT professionals will learn to deploy and manage virtualized workloads on OpenShift and manage these workloads using both traditional ways, such as SSH and Ansible, and also modern DevOps practices, such as GitOps and CI/CD

VM Administrators using OpenShift Virtualization require deeper Kubernetes and OpenShift skills than provided by DO316, even if they do not intend to manage containerized, cloud-native applications, and these skills are provided by existing OpenShift Administration courses:

Linux skills are not required to managing OpenShift clusters and OpenShift Virtualization but managing individual Linux VMs requires Linux sysadmin skills provided by:
