Reviewing Managing Virtual Machines with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

Before beginning the comprehensive review for this course, you should be comfortable with the topics covered in each chapter. Do not hesitate to ask the instructor for extra guidance or clarification on these topics.

Distinguish Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization from container technologies and traditional virtual machine technologies. Describe the features and use cases of OpenShift Virtualization.

  • Describe the features and use cases of OpenShift Virtualization.

  • Describe Kubernetes high-level architecture and operators.

  • Deploy the OpenShift Virtualization operator in an existing Red Hat OpenShift environment.

Create, manage, inspect, and monitor virtual machines in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.

  • Describe and compare virtual machine instance components.

  • Provision and access a new virtual machine.

  • Monitor VM resources and inspect a VM's configuration.

Configure standard Kubernetes network objects and external access for VMs and virtual machine-backed applications.

  • Describe VM communication on the Kubernetes SDN, create a ClusterIP service for a VM, and create a network policy for virtual machines.

  • Configure external access for virtual machines.

Configure node networking to connect virtual machines and nodes to networks that are outside the cluster.

  • Describe the Multus CNI plug-in and use cases.

  • Configure multihomed nodes and virtual machines using the NMstate operator and Multus.

Manage storage and disks for VMs in Red Hat OpenShift.

  • Configure appropriate services for persistent VM storage.

  • Attach disks to a VM.

  • Connect a VM to external storage by using Multus.

Create and manage templates to provision virtual machines.

  • Use and modify preconfigured templates to provision VMs.

  • Generate custom templates to provision VMs.

Create a snapshot, clone, and live migrate a virtual machine, and initiate node maintenance.

  • Describe VM snapshots and execute snapshot management tasks.

  • Clone an existing VM's PVC as a new VM and as a new data volume to provision additional VMs.

  • Describe and manage VM live migrations.

  • Set a node into maintenance mode and describe how the OpenShift Virtualization update process affects VMs.

Configure Kubernetes resources to implement high availability for virtual machines.

  • Demonstrate VM load balancing with Kubernetes networking resources.

  • Configure health probes and a Watchdog device to monitor the health and responsiveness of a VM and its services.

  • Configure Kubernetes resources to help VMs fail over to another cluster node when node failure is detected.
