Red Hat Virtualization

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to create and deploy Red Hat Virtualization and virtual servers. Using a single, full-service management interface, Red Hat Virtualization Manager, you will be able to configure, manage, and migrate systems within the virtualization environment. Course content summary

• Configure Red Hat Virtualization
• Configure networking and storage for use with Red Hat Virtualization
• Manage user accounts and access to the Red Hat Virtualization environment
• Install and manage virtual machines in Red Hat Virtualization
• Use templates for rapid virtual machine deployment
• Manage virtual machine snapshots and images
• Migrate virtual machines and explore high-availability options

Linux system administrators, virtualization administrators, and hybrid infrastructure engineers interested in deploying large-scale virtualization solutions and managing virtual servers in their datacenters, based on the Red Hat Virtualization open virtualization management platform.
 

• Become a Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA®), or demonstrate equivalent experience
• Being a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE®) is strongly recommended for Ansible® automation comprehension

Red Hat Virtualization overview

• Explain the purpose and architecture of Red Hat Virtualization.

Install and configure Red Hat Virtualization

• Install a minimal Red Hat Virtualization environment and use it to create a virtual machine.

Create and manage datacenters and clusters

• Organize hypervisors into groups using datacenters and clusters.

Manage user accounts and roles

• Configure user accounts using a central directory service, then use roles to assign access to resources based on job responsibilities.

Adding physical hosts

• Add additional Red Hat Virtualization hosts automatically, and move and remove hosts from datacenters as needed.

Scale Red Hat Virtualization infrastructure

• Add Red Hat Virtualization hosts automatically, configure Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts when appropriate, and move and remove hosts from data centers as needed.

Manage Red Hat Virtualization networks

• Separate network traffic into multiple networks on one or more interfaces to improve the performance and security of Red Hat Virtualization.

Manage Red Hat Virtualization storage

• Create and manage data and ISO storage domains.

Deploy and manage virtual machines

• Operate virtual machines in the Red Hat Virtualization environment.

Migrate virtual machines

• Migrate and control automatic migration of virtual machines.

Manage virtual machine images

• Manage virtual machine snapshots and disk images.

Automating virtual machine deployment

• Automate deployment of virtual machines by using templates and cloud-init.

Back up and upgrade Red Hat Virtualization

• Back up, restore, and upgrade the software in a Red Hat Virtualization environment.

Explore high-availability practices

• Explain procedures to improve the resilience and reliability of Red Hat Virtualization by removing single points of failure and implementing high-availability features.

Perform comprehensive review
