Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization - Technical Introduction and Migration

The demands of modern IT infrastructure are continually evolving. Where once it was sufficient to provide adequate hardware for task execution, today’s success hinges on implementing efficient, flexible, and scalable solutions.  

Managing separate platforms for containers and virtual machines often results in increased complexity, resource fragmentation, and operational overhead. Unified platforms that streamline infrastructure deployment, management, and monitoring across both virtual machines and containers can optimize resource utilization, eliminate redundancy, and quickly adapt to diverse workloads.  

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization addresses these challenges by enabling customers to modernize both existing applications and services on a single, unified platform—OpenShift. This platform supports the development and delivery of new and existing applications that integrate virtual machines and containers, all managed within a Kubernetes-native architecture.  

Virtualization itself has evolved to meet these new demands. Whereas virtualization once involved abstracting an entire operating system, its benefits now extend beyond the hypervisor layer to the overarching management paradigm. Successful transformation involves not just new installations and learning management systems, but also the eventual migration of existing virtual systems to their new environments.  

The Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV) simplifies the transition to Red Hat OpenShift. By leveraging this toolkit, workloads can be smoothly adapted to the new environment. Developing a test plan to assess migration criteria and progressively incorporating additional workloads will enhance familiarity and efficiency within the environment.
