Course Overview
The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Automating OpenShift Virtual Machine Management Exam (EX336) is included in this offering.
Who should attend
- Virtual Machine Administrators who are interested in moving virtualized workloads from traditional hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization
- Enterprise architects, system administrators, and automation architects who are responsible for designing, managing, and automating an organization’s virtual machine infrastructure.
Prerequisites
- Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization (EX316) or equivalent knowledge of managing virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift.
- This course requires no previous experience with Ansible, however, learners are encouraged to attend, before taking DO336:
Ansible Basics - Automation Technical Overview (DO0007). - Although Linux skills are not required for managing OpenShift clusters and OpenShift Virtualization, operating individual Linux VMs requires Linux sysadmin skills that the following courses provide:
Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) or managing the operating system inside a Linux VM.
Course Objectives
Impact on the Organization
Automate and Manage Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Ansible teaches how to deploy the Ansible Automation Platform operator in an OpenShift cluster to migrate and manage virtual machines. Customers migrating to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization from other hypervisors need an automation solution to replace their previous automation products, such as vRealize Orchestrator by VMware. With Ansible Automation Platform, customers can automate the migration, creation, and management of the virtual machines in OpenShift Virtualization.
Impact on the Individual
Automate and Manage Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Ansible teaches students how to deploy and configure the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Operator, automation controller, and automation hub operator instance in a Red Hat OpenShift cluster. Students will learn how to automate the migration of virtual machines from another hypervisor to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization by using Ansible Automation Platform and the migration toolkit for virtualization (MTV) operators. Students also learn how to add Ansible Playbooks and collections for OpenShift Virtualization to an Ansible Automation Platform hub instance and how to use Ansible Playbooks and collections to create and manage virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
