Take advantage of an exclusive 70% discount on Managing Virtual Machines with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization training (DO317) — including the certification exam (EX316). This offer is valid through 30 September 2025.
Managing Virtual Machines with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (DO317) equips IT professionals with the essential skills to create, manage, and integrate virtual machines (VMs) into Kubernetes-native environments using the OpenShift Virtualization Operator. No prior experience with containers or Kubernetes is required. The course includes the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization (EX316) exam.
Impact on your organization
OpenShift Virtualization helps reduce operational costs by managing both virtual machines and containerized workloads on a unified platform—Red Hat OpenShift.
By running VMs directly on OpenShift, teams can more easily integrate traditional server-based applications with modern, cloud-native applications and practices, such as CI/CD, DevOps, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). This approach accelerates time-to-market and unlocks the benefits of modern workflows, without the need to refactor existing virtualized workloads into containers.
Your IT professionals will gain the skills to deploy and manage virtual machines (VMs) within the OpenShift platform.
What you’ll learn
- How to create, manage, and access VMs on OpenShift clusters
- Control and allocate compute, storage, memory, and network resources for VMs using native Kubernetes tools
- Design high availability (HA) architectures for VMs with Kubernetes and OpenShift Virtualization extensions
- Connect VMs to external data center services, such as databases and storage systems
- Migrate VMs from compatible hypervisors to OpenShift using the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization
Course Topics
- Create VMs from disk images or install media
- Use graphical and text consoles to access VMs
- Network VMs using Kubernetes services, ingress, and routes
- Attach persistent storage to VMs using Kubernetes PVs, PVCs, and storage classes
- Start, stop, pause, clone, and snapshot VMs
- Create and seal golden images
- Connect VMs to external or non-pod networks
- Set up load balancers and enable SSH access to VMs
- Use host and external storage with VMs
- Build VMs using templates and instance types
- Migrate VMs from existing hypervisors
- Back up and restore VMs with OADP and CLI tools
Target audience
- Virtual Machine Administrators transitioning from traditional hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization
- Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, and System Administrators supporting virtualized workloads alongside container workloads in OpenShift
Practicalities
You don’t need Linux experience to manage OpenShift or OpenShift Virtualization. However, managing Linux VMs inside OpenShift requires foundational system administration knowledge, such as:
- Red Hat System Administration I (RH124)
- Red Hat System Administration II (RH134)
