Who should attend
- Virtual Machine Administrators who are looking to virtualize workloads from traditional Hypervisors to OpenShift Virtualization.
- Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, and System Administrators who are interested in supporting virtualized workloads, either independently from or in the same OpenShift cluster as containerized workloads.
Prerequisites
Although Linux skills are not required for managing OpenShift clusters and OpenShift Virtualization, operating individual Linux VMs requires Linux system administration skills that the Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) courses provide.
Course Objectives
Impact on the Organization
OpenShift Virtualization enables organizations to realize operational savings by managing virtualized workloads and containerized workloads together using the same orchestration and clustering infrastructure provided by Red Hat OpenShift.
Impact on the Individual
IT professionals will learn to deploy and manage virtualized workloads on OpenShift, including in multicluster environments.
Course Content
The OpenShift Virtualization Boot Camp for Administrators (DO730) immerses you in intensive, hands-on management of OpenShift Virtualization Operator and OpenShift Virtualization Engine deployed on Red Hat's implementation of Kubernetes, Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform, at enterprise scale. This course is for those seeking to adopt a cloud-native infrastructure to run and deploy virtual machine (VM) workloads on a modern platform in their digital transformation journey. Making this shift requires the ability to support the migration and management of traditional VMs onto a hybrid cloud application platform, such as OpenShift Virtualization. The skills learned in this course can be applied to both OpenShift Container Platform and OpenShift Virtualization Engine in order to deploy and use a modern platform for running VMs. This course extends these skills to multi-cluster environments, covering the installation and use of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) to manage clusters, enforce policies, and oversee VMs across your hybrid cloud.
As part of enrollment, you will receive one year of Red Hat Learning Subscription Standard, which gives you unlimited access to all of our courses online, and can take up to 5 unique exams and can retake any of those exams in the event you do not successfully pass.
