Introduction
Managing Virtual Machines with OpenShift Virtualization with exam 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. The Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization (EX316) is included in this offering.
Looking for more information on how to migrate to a modern virtualization platform? Read this eBook to learn more.
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 centre 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
Audience Profile
- 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
Pre-requisites
- 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 (RH124)and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) for managing the OS inside a Linux VM
Course Objectives
IT professionals will learn to deploy and manage virtualized workloads on OpenShift.
Course Content
| Session 1: 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. |
| Session 2: Running and Accessing Virtual Machines |
| Create, manage, inspect, and monitor virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. |
| Session 3: Configuring Kubernetes Networking for Virtual Machines |
| Configure standard Kubernetes network objects and external access for VMs and virtual machine-backed applications. |
| Session 4: 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. |
| Session 5: Configuring Storage for Virtual Machines |
| Manage storage and disks for virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift by using Kubernetes. |
| Session 6: 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. |
| Session 7: Replicating Virtual Machines by Using Instance Types, Templates, and Clones |
| Create and manage clones, templates, and instance types to provision virtual machines. |
| Session 8: Advanced Virtual Machine Management |
| Import, control the placement of, monitor the health of, and live migrate virtual machines. |
| Session 9: 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. |
Associated Certifications and Exam
The Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization exam (EX316) tests the knowledge, skills, and ability to plan, deploy and manage virtual machines using the Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization operator in a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform environment.
By passing this exam, you become a Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization that also counts towards earning a Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA®).
This exam is based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.18.
Audience for this exam
Site reliability engineers (SREs), cluster engineers, systems administrators, cloud administrators, or cloud engineers focused on planning, designing, and implementing production-grade virtual machines under OpenShift clusters and, at the same time, ensuring these virtual machines remain in compliance with corporate standards.
