Migrating Virtual Machines to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Ansible Automation Platform

Prerequisites for this course

• Take our free assessment to gauge whether this offering is the best fit for your skills
• This course requires no previous experience with containers, Kubernetes, OpenShift, or OpenShift Virtualization; however, learners are encouraged to attend the following courses, before taking DO346:
  • Containers, Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift Technical Overview (DO080)
  • Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Technical Overview (DO016)
  • Ansible Basics: Automation Technical Overview (DOOO7)
• Although Linux skills are not required for managing OpenShift clusters and OpenShift Virtualization, operating individual Linux VMs requires Linux system administration skills that the following courses provide:
  • Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) for managing the operating system inside a Linux VM

Target Audience

• Virtual Machine Administrators who are interested in moving virtualized workloads from traditional hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization
• Kubernetes Administrators (Cluster Administrators and Cluster Engineers) who are interested in supporting containerized and virtualized workloads in the same OpenShift cluster

Course Outline

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.

2. Configuring Networking for Virtual Machines

• Configure standard Kubernetes network objects for virtual machines and virtual machine-backed applications.
• Configure node networking to connect virtual machines and nodes to networks outside the cluster by using Multus CNI plug-ins and the NMState operator.

3. Configuring Storage for Virtual Machines

• Manage storage and disks for virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift by using Kubernetes.

4. Migrating Virtual Machines to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

• Migrate virtual machines from a compatible hypervisor to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization by using the migration toolkit for virtualization (MTV) operator and the Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) operator.
