What is the EX316 Certification?
As organizations rapidly migrate away from legacy hypervisors like VMware, the ability to run Virtual Machines natively on Kubernetes is becoming one of the most critical skills in the IT industry. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (built on KubeVirt) allows enterprises to manage VMs and containers on a single, unified platform.
Comprehensive Package: This unique training program explicitly covers the foundational DO156 module, ensuring you build the right groundwork on Red Hat Virtualization concepts before diving into the advanced DO256 configurations. Whether you are taking classes offline at our premium center in Chennai, or joining live online from anywhere across Asia, you will learn to provision VMs from templates, attach complex Multus networking, and perform zero-downtime live migrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I learn OpenShift Virtualization right now?
With recent changes in VMware licensing, enterprises are aggressively migrating their legacy Virtual Machines to Red Hat OpenShift. OpenShift Virtualization allows companies to run VMs side-by-side with containers on the exact same platform. EX316 is currently one of the highest-demand IT skills.
What is the difference between DO280 and DO256?
DO280 focuses on managing the core OpenShift container platform. DO256 (OpenShift Virtualization) is a specialized add-on course focused specifically on managing traditional Virtual Machines (VMs) inside OpenShift using KubeVirt technology.
What are the prerequisites for the EX316 exam?
You must have a solid foundation in Linux and OpenShift administration. Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) and Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration (EX280) certifications, or equivalent experience, are highly recommended.
Is this course 100% practical?
Yes. The Red Hat EX316 exam is 100% performance-based. OSELabs provides dedicated OpenShift clusters with virtualization extensions enabled so you can practice deploying VMs, managing storage (CDI), and executing live migrations in a real-world environment.
