Keeping VMs running: HA/DR with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

Running mission-critical virtual machine (VM) workloads on Red Hat® OpenShift® requires a solid strategy for high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR). Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization provides cloud-native mechanisms to protect VM workloads, but understanding how these capabilities work—and how to design them correctly—is key to building resilient platforms.

In this webinar, our experts will explore the HA and DR features available in OpenShift Virtualization including:

• High availability fundamentals:
  • How VM availability is maintained during node failures
  • How live migration works
  • How scheduling and storage integrations support resilient VM operations
• Disaster recovery architectures: 
  • Backup-based recovery
  • Storage-replication-based DR
  • Multi-cluster design patterns

Through architectural guidance with practical examples, you’ll learn how to:

• Align HA and DR designs with business requirements such as Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO).
• Evaluate the tradeoffs between different approaches.
• Avoid common pitfalls when protecting stateful VM workloads.
