Managing Virtual Machines with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (DO316) Training in Kuwait

Recommended: Red Hat OpenShift Administration I (DO180)

For managing Linux-based VMs, Linux system administration skills such as:

• Red Hat System Administration I (RH124)

• Red Hat System Administration II (RH134)

This course is ideal for:

• Virtual Machine Administrators migrating from traditional hypervisors to OpenShift.

• Platform and Cloud Engineers managing both containerized and virtualized workloads.

• System Administrators supporting hybrid environments in OpenShift clusters.

• Create VMs from installation media and disk images.

• Access text-based and graphical consoles for virtual machines.

• Connect to VMs using Kubernetes networking (services, ingress, and routes).

• Manage storage via Kubernetes Persistent Volumes (PV), Persistent Volume Claims (PVC), and Storage Classes.

• Start, pause, and stop virtual machines.

• Clone, snapshot, and restore VMs.

• Create and manage golden images and templates.

• Connect VMs to external networks using Multus CNI and NMState.

• Set up load balancer services to enable SSH or remote access.

• Migrate VMs from traditional hypervisors with the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV).

• Backup and restore VMs using the OpenShift API for Data Protection (OADP).

Impact on the Organization

OpenShift Virtualization allows organizations to consolidate virtual and container workloads into a single, unified management platform — reducing operational complexity and cost.

By deploying VMs on OpenShift, enterprises can:

• Modernize legacy applications without a full container migration.

• Simplify integration between traditional apps and CI/CD pipelines.

• Improve agility, scalability, and resilience through shared orchestration.

This approach bridges the gap between virtualization and cloud-native development, accelerating digital transformation.

Impact on the Individual

After completing this course, IT professionals will:

• Gain hands-on experience managing VMs in OpenShift.
• Learn to automate VM provisioning, storage, and networking.
• Understand hybrid management of containers and virtual machines.
• Be prepared to migrate workloads from other hypervisors efficiently.

You’ll emerge with the skills to unify virtualization and containerization under a single OpenShift infrastructure.
