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 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.
Course content summary
  • 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.
  • Audience for this course
  • 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.

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.

 

Skills Gained

Impact on the organization

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.

Impact on the individual

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
Recommended next exam or course
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:
  • Red Hat OpenShift Administration II: Operating a Production Kubernetes Cluster (DO280) is also a recommended follow-up course for security and resource management of OpenShift projects.
  • Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Kubernetes Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380) and Enterprise Kubernetes Storage with Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation (DO370) are recommended follow-up courses for node, storage, and security management of OpenShift clusters.
  • Red Hat OpenShift Installation Lab (DO322) is a recommended follow-up course for installing and configuring OpenShift clusters.
Linux skills are not required to managing OpenShift clusters and OpenShift Virtualization but managing individual Linux VMs requires Linux sysadmin skills provided by:
  • Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) for managing the OS inside a Linux VM.
  • Red Hat Linux Automation with Ansible and exam (RH295) for using Ansible to manage the OS inside a Linux VM.

Certification

In order to attend any Red Hat course or exam, you will need to provide us with your unique Red Hat Network ID. Bookings will not be confirmed without this. If you do not have a Red Hat Network ID you can create one online. If you attend a virtual event, Red Hat will email you directly a Connectivity Test link one week before the course starts to ensure you have the correct access for the training.

Thinking about Onsite?

If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.

Submit an enquiry from any page on this site and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
