Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I: Operating Virtual Machines (DO156)

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I: Operating Virtual Machines (DO156) teaches the essential skills required to create and manage virtual machines (VMs) on OpenShift by using the Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization operator.

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.

In this course IT professionals will learn to deploy and manage virtualized workloads on OpenShift.
