RH318 — Red Hat Virtualization
RH318 - Red Hat Virtualization
Course overview
Deploy, configure, manage, and migrate virtual environments
Red Hat Virtualization (RH318) teaches you the skills needed to deploy, administer, and operate virtual machines in your organization using Red Hat® Virtualization. Through numerous hands-on exercises, you will demonstrate the ability to deploy and configure the Red Hat Virtualization infrastructure and use it to provision and manage virtual machines. This offering also prepares you for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Virtualization exam.
This course is based on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 4.3 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux® 7.6 and 8, as well as Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Virtualization 1.6.
Objectives
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
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.
Prerequisites
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
Audience for this course
