Course description

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
Strategies to migrate VMs from compatible hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization by using the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization operator

Note: This course is offered as a four day in person class, a five day virtual class or is self-paced. Durations may vary based on the delivery. For full course details, scheduling, and pricing, select your location then “get started” on the right hand menu.

Completing this course will help you

Completing this course will help you manage virtual machines directly on OpenShift using Kubernetes-native tools.
You’ll learn to migrate traditional workloads into a unified platform that supports both VMs and containers.
By the end, you’ll be ready to simplify operations and support hybrid cloud environments more efficiently. Let me know if you'd like a version tailored for flyers, social media, or a specific certification audience.

Audience for This Course

Virtual Machine Administrators who want to virtualize workloads from traditional Hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization
Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, and System Administrators who want to support virtualized workloads, either independently from or in the same OpenShift cluster as containerized workloads

Course Overview

Prerequisites for this course

Take our free assessment to gauge whether this offering is the best fit for your skills
Red Hat OpenShift Administration I: Operating a Production Cluster (DO180) is recommended but not required
Linux skills are not required to manage OpenShift clusters and OpenShift Virtualization but managing individual Linux VMs requires Linux sysadmin skills provided by:
Red Hat System Administration I (RH199) for managing the OS inside a Linux VM.

Technology requirements

All deliveries require access to ROLE for the remote classroom environment. There is no local ILT version of the DO316 classroom

Course Outline

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization
Distinguish Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization from container technologies and from traditional virtual machine technologies. Describe the features and use cases of OpenShift Virtualization. Deploy the OpenShift Virtualization operator in an existing Red Hat OpenShift environment.
Running and Accessing Virtual Machines
Create, manage, inspect, and monitor virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
Configuring Kubernetes Networking for Virtual Machines
Configure standard Kubernetes network objects and external access for VMs and virtual machine-backed applications.
Connecting Virtual Machines to External Networks
Configure node networking to connect virtual machines and nodes to networks outside of the cluster by using Multus CNI plug-ins and the NMState operator.
Configuring Storage for Virtual Machines
Manage storage and disks for virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift by using Kubernetes.
Create and Restore Backups of Virtual Machines
Create virtual machine snapshots and back up virtual machine components individually and by using the OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP) operator.
Replicating Virtual Machines by Using Instance Types, Templates, and Clones
Create and manage clones, templates, and instance types to provision virtual machines.
Advanced Virtual Machine Management
Import, control the placement of, monitor the health of, and live migrate virtual machines.
Configuring Kubernetes High Availability for Virtual Machines
Implement high availability virtual machines that are resilient to failures, planned maintenance, and cluster upgrades by configuring Kubernetes resources.

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
Create and seal golden VM images
Connect VMs to external and extra networks (outside of the Kubernetes pod and service networks)
Provision load balancer services for VMs and then use the services to enable SSH access to VMs
Connect VMs to host storage and external storage
Create VMs from predefined and custom VM Templates and InstanceTypes
Migrate VMs from compatible hypervisors
Back up and restore VMs by using OADP and command-line tools

Outcomes

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.

Recommended next exam or course

Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization (EX316)
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: Configuring a Production 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.
