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

Course description

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.

Prerequisites

Although Linux skills are not required for managing OpenShift clusters and OpenShift Virtualization, operating individual Linux VMs requires Linux system administration skills that the Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) courses provide.

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.

Outline

5 modules • 3 Days total

01 Introduction to Kubernetes and OpenShift

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.

02 Introduction to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

Deploy the OpenShift Virtualization operator and examine the configuration options for the operator.

03 Creating, Managing, and Monitoring Virtual Machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

Create, manage, and monitor virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.

04 Managing Virtual Machine Networking in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

Use comprehensive and flexible networking for virtual machines within an OpenShift environment.

05 Managing Storage for Virtual Machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

Configure and manage persistent storage for virtual machines, protect VM data through snapshots, export and import virtual machine images, and efficiently create golden images for virtual machines by using cloning within a Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization environment.

Recommended Next Course or Exam

VM administrators for OpenShift Virtualization require deeper Kubernetes and OpenShift skills to provide production-ready virtual machines than DO156 provides, and these skills are provided in the DO256 – Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration II: Configuring Production Virtual Machines.
VM administrators for OpenShift Virtualization require deeper Kubernetes and OpenShift skills than DO156 provides, even if they will not manage containerized, cloud-native applications, and these skills are provided by existing OpenShift Administration courses:
- Red Hat OpenShift Administration I: Operating a Production Cluster (DO180) is a recommended follow-up course for deploying and managing workloads in OpenShift clusters.
- Red Hat OpenShift Administration II: Configuring a Production Cluster (DO280) is a recommended follow-up course for security and resource management of OpenShift projects.
- Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Kubernetes Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380) and Enterprise Kubernetes Storage with Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation (DO370) are recommended follow-up courses for node, storage, and security management of OpenShift clusters.
- Red Hat OpenShift Installation Lab (DO322) is a recommended follow-up course for installing and configuring OpenShift clusters.
