Migrate VMs from other hypervisors with the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization
Topics Covered:
VM creation from images and templates
Networking, storage, cloning, and snapshots
Load balancers and SSH access
Backup, restore, and golden image management
Who Should Attend:
VM administrators, platform engineers, and system administrators moving workloads to or managing virtualized workloads in OpenShift.
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.
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.
