DO156: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I: Operating Virtual Machines

Overview

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

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I: Operating Virtual Machines teaches the essential skills required to create and manage virtual machines (VMs) on OpenShift by using the Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization operator.

• Describe the underlying Kubernetes architecture that supports OpenShift and how to access and identify key OpenShift cluster services by using both the web console and command-line utilities.
• Deploy the OpenShift Virtualization operator and examine the configuration options for the operator.
• Create, manage, and monitor virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
• Use comprehensive and flexible networking for virtual machines within an OpenShift environment.
• Configure and manage persistent storage for virtual machines, protect VM data through snapshots, export and import virtual machine images, and efficiently create virtual machine golden images by using cloning within a Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization environment.

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)
• 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 VM Templates
• Migrate VMs from compatible hypervisors
• Back up and restore VMs by using OADP and command-line tools

Prerequisites for this course

• Learners are encouraged to attend Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Technical Overview (DO016), before taking DO156

Target Audience

• Virtual Machine Administrators who are looking to virtualize 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.
