Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration II: Configuring Production Virtual Machines and Exam – Classroom Training

Overview

This course teaches IT Operations teams how to create production-ready virtual machines and manage their supporting Kubernetes and OpenShift resources in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. Learners will address challenges such as advanced networking, migration from other hypervisors, data protection, efficient provisioning, and high availability for virtual machines.

Prerequisites

Participants should have:

• Completion of Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I: Operating Virtual Machines (DO156)
• For managing the OS inside a Linux VM, Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) are recommended
• Take the free assessment to gauge suitability for this course

Target audience

This course is designed for:

• Virtual machine administrators looking to migrate workloads from traditional hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization
• Platform engineers, cloud administrators, and system administrators interested in supporting virtualized workloads, either independently or alongside containerized workloads in OpenShift

Objectives

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Describe OpenShift OAuth server concepts and custom resources for Kubernetes authentication
• Define and implement role-based access controls and user permissions
• Enable advanced networking features for nodes and virtual machines in OpenShift
• Migrate virtual machines from other hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization using the migration toolkit for virtualization (MTV) operator
• Back up and restore virtual machines using the OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP) operator
• Create and manage custom instance types, templates, and boot sources for virtual machine provisioning
• Configure high availability and control placement of virtual machines using Kubernetes resources
