Build in-demand skills for modern virtualization with Red Hat OpenShift

The IT industry is experiencing a shift in the virtualization field. Organizations running mission-critical applications are increasingly concerned about the impact of vendor selection on their business, and are seeking the right long-term technologies to mitigate downstream risks. In this rapidly changing environment, there's a more pressing need for decisions to address the cost and inefficiencies associated with outdated virtualization solutions. These older solutions often fall short in supporting modern application development and delivery. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization offers a pathway to modernize applications, providing a consistent platform for virtualization workloads. It supports both VM and container-based applications, aligning with current and future technological demands.

Red Hat is already helping organizations globally accelerate their infrastructure modernization initiatives with Red Hat OpenShift, our robust partner network and mature capabilities such as OpenShift Virtualization’s VM migration tooling to rehost existing VMs. As IT leaders make changes to modernize their virtualization infrastructure through containers and Kubernetes, it is imperative that IT professionals be equipped with the skills to succeed using technologies like OpenShift Virtualization. Red Hat offers a Red Hat OpenShift skills path that includes training and certifications catering to those seeking to shift their focus toward new technologies and develop skills that are in high demand for the future.
