DO316: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration Rapid Track course

Overview

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

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration Rapid Track course features the Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization operator for those who already have experience with Red Hat OpenShift administration. This accelerated course combines essential content from Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I (DO156) and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration II (DO256) to teach students the skills required to create and manage production-ready virtual machines and their supporting Kubernetes and OpenShift resources in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.

This course is based on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization 4.18.

  • 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.
  • Understand OpenShift OAuth server concepts and custom resources, including their function in Kubernetes authentication, and define and implement role-based access controls and user permissions.
  • Enable comprehensive and flexible networking for nodes and virtual machines within an OpenShift environment.
  • Migrate virtual machines from another hypervisor to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization by using the migration toolkit for virtualization (MTV) operator.
  • Back up and restore virtual machines by using the OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP) operator.
  • Create and manage custom instance types, templates, and boot sources to provision virtual machines.
  • Control the placement of virtual machines on cluster nodes by using Kubernetes resources, and rebalance virtual machine workloads across cluster nodes by enabling descheduler evictions.
  • Implement high-availability virtual machines that are resilient to failures, planned maintenance, and cluster upgrades by configuring Kubernetes resources.

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

  • Red Hat OpenShift I: Containers & Kubernetes (DO180) and is recommended but not required

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

Duration: 4 days (Full-time)
