Introduction to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

Trends in server virtualization: A conversation with IDC

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is an add-on component to Red Hat OpenShift that allows you to run virtualized workloads in the same infrastructure as your existing containerized workloads. For those who are already familiar with OpenShift, the concepts and tools you already know can be applied directly to running virtual machines on your existing infrastructure, affording you the opportunity to lift-and-shift virtual machines into OpenShift and then containerize those applications without huge changes to your infrastructure. In a live demo, which is the first in a two-part series on OpenShift Virtualization and migrations, we will explain the installation and configuration of the OpenShift Virtualization operator, as well as the creation and management of virtual machines. In part two, we will discuss the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization that will allow you to migrate virtual machines at scale into your new OpenShift Virtualization environment. - OpenShift Virtualization Operator - Creating Virtual Machines - Interacting with running Virtual Machines - Importing custom OS images
