Audience 

This course is aimed at the following audiences:

• 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

Prerequisites

• This course does not require previous knowledge of containers and Kubernetes.
• It is recommended but not required to have knowledge equal to the course DO180: Red Hat OpenShift I: Containers & Kubernetes

Course goals

By attending this training you will learn to deploy and manage virtualized workloads on OpenShift and manage these workloads using both traditional ways, such as SSH and Ansible, and also modern DevOps practices, such as GitOps and CI/CD.

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

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.
