Migrating Virtual Machines to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Ansible Automation Platform
Overview
Course Description
Learn the essential skills to migrate virtual machines to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
Migrating Virtual Machines to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Ansible Automation Platform (DO346) provides the essential knowledge to migrate virtual machines to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization by using carefully selected content from Managing Virtual Machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (DO316) and Automate and Manage Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Ansible (DO336). This course provides a shorter learning path for IT professionals to migrate their virtualized workloads to OpenShift Virtualization.
This course provides the following information and skills:
- An introduction to key OpenShift and Kubernetes concepts, such as nodes, pods, and operators
- Skills to deploy the OpenShift Virtualization operator
- Skills to configure networking and storage for virtual machines
- Strategies to migrate virtual machines from another hypervisor to OpenShift Virtualization by using the migration toolkit for virtualization operator and Ansible Automation Platform
This course is based on OpenShift Container Platform 4.16, OpenShift Virtualization 4.16, and Ansible Automation Platform 2.4.
Note: This course is offered as a 2-day in-person class, a 3-day virtual class, or is self-paced. Durations might vary based on the delivery. For full course details, scheduling, and pricing, select your location, and then “get started” on the right menu.
Course Content Summary
- Deploying the OpenShift Virtualization operator in an existing Red Hat OpenShift environment
- Configuring node networking to connect virtual machines and nodes to networks outside the cluster by using Multus CNI plug-ins and the NMState operator
- Managing storage and disks for virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift
- Migrating virtual machines from another hypervisor to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization by using the migration toolkit for virtualization operator and Ansible Automation Platform
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
Recommended training
- 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:
- 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
Technology considerations
- All deliveries require access to ROLE for the remote classroom environment. No local ILT version of the DO346 classroom is available.
Outline
Course Outline
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.
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.
Configuring Storage for Virtual Machines
Manage storage and disks for virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift by using Kubernetes.
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.
Outcomes
Impact on the Organization
- OpenShift Virtualization enables organizations to realize operational savings by managing virtualized workloads and containerized workloads together by using the same orchestration and clustering infrastructure from Red Hat OpenShift.
Impact on the Individual
- IT professionals will learn to migrate virtualized workloads to OpenShift Virtualization.
Recommended next course or exam
- After completing this course, VM Administrators are encouraged to learn more about OpenShift Virtualization and virtual machine administration by attending the following course:
- OpenShift Virtualization Administrators require deeper Kubernetes and OpenShift skills than DO346 provides, even if they will not manage containerized, cloud-native applications, and existing OpenShift Administration courses provide these skills:
- Red Hat OpenShift Administration 1: Operating a Production Cluster (DO180) is a recommended follow-up course for deploying and managing Kubernetes applications by using the OpenShift web console and command-line interfaces
- 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
