Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I: Operating Virtual Machines (DO156)

• 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.

After this course participants should be able to:

• 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.
• 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.

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

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

• This course requires no previous experience with containers, Kubernetes, and OpenShift, however, learners are encouraged to attend, before taking DO156, Containers, Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift Technical Overview (DO080).
• 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.
• Learners are encouraged to attend Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Technical Overview (DO016), before taking DO156.

• 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 Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration II: Configuring Production Virtual Machines course (DO256).
• VM administrators for OpenShift Virtualization, may require 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.

• DO256 - Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration II: Configuring Production Virtual Machines (DO256)
