As organizations embrace OpenShift for container orchestration, the need to integrate and manage virtual machines (VMs) alongside containerized workloads has become increasingly essential. The VMs on OpenShift Day explores how OpenShift has evolved to support VMs through technologies like KubeVirt, enabling seamless coexistence of legacy applications with modern cloud-native architectures.
This event provides a comprehensive overview of running VMs in OpenShift, including:
- Introduction to VMs on OpenShift: Understanding why and when to run VMs in OpenShift, and how this approach bridges traditional and cloud-native workloads.
- OpenShift Virtualization Deep Dive: A technical overview of OpenShift Virtualization, the leading Kubernetes-native virtualization solution, covering architecture, deployment, and features.
- Unified Storage & Data Management: Strategies for managing VMs and containers storage and data side-by-side, leveraging industry leading storage and data management.
- Use Cases and Best Practices: A customer panel showcasing real-world examples of organizations modernizing infrastructure with OpenShift-native VM support, including legacy application migration and hybrid workload scenarios.
- Hands-On Lab: Practical demonstrations of deploying and managing VMs in OpenShift, showcasing tools and workflows to simplify operations.
By attending, participants will gain insights into the benefits, challenges, and strategies for adopting VMs on OpenShift, enabling a unified platform for both legacy and modern workloads. This event is perfect for IT architects, infrastructure engineers, DevOps practitioners, and system administrators looking to strengthen their OpenShift expertise with a focus on storage and data management solutions.
