Red Hat Virtualization overview
Explain the purpose and architecture of Red Hat Virtualization.
Install and configure Red Hat Virtualization
Install a minimal Red Hat Virtualization environment and use it to create a virtual machine.
Create and manage datacenters and clusters
Organize hypervisors into groups using datacenters and clusters.
Manage user accounts and roles
Configure user accounts using a central directory service, then use roles to assign access to resources based on job responsibilities.
Adding physical hosts
Add additional Red Hat Virtualization hosts automatically, and move and remove hosts from datacenters as needed.
Scale Red Hat Virtualization infrastructure
Add Red Hat Virtualization hosts automatically, configure Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts when appropriate, and move and remove hosts from data centers as needed.
Manage Red Hat Virtualization networks
Separate network traffic into multiple networks on one or more interfaces to improve the performance and security of Red Hat Virtualization.
Manage Red Hat Virtualization storage
Create and manage data and ISO storage domains.
Deploy and manage virtual machines
Operate virtual machines in the Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Migrate virtual machines
Migrate and control automatic migration of virtual machines.
Manage virtual machine images
Manage virtual machine snapshots and disk images.
Automating virtual machine deployment
Automate deployment of virtual machines by using templates and cloud-init.
Back up and upgrade Red Hat Virtualization
Back up, restore, and upgrade the software in a Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Explore high-availability practices
Explain procedures to improve the resilience and reliability of Red Hat Virtualization by removing single points of failure and implementing high-availability features.

Note: Course outline is subject to change with technology advances and as the nature of the underlying job evolves. For questions or confirmation on a specific objective or topic, please contact a training specialist online.
Linux system administrators, virtualization administrators, and hybrid infrastructure engineers interested in deploying large-scale virtualization solutions and managing virtual servers in their datacenters, based on the Red Hat Virtualization open virtualization management platform.
Recommendations for this offering
- 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
Impact on the organization
This offering is intended to develop the skills needed to improve efficiency within a virtualization environment. Expected results include reducing IT infrastructure costs by virtualizing more workloads on less hardware while avoiding vendor lock-in.
This course and exam will teach and validate the ability for virtualization administrators to work more efficiently by using Red Hat Virtualization to deploy, manage, and monitor virtualization environments, resulting in faster response times for users requesting and using virtualized resources. Virtualization engineers will also learn about new forward-looking choices in virtualization design for distributed offices using hyperconverged infrastructure and migration procedures for sites currently running VMware clusters.
Red Hat has created this course in a way intended to benefit our customers, but each company and infrastructure is unique, and actual results or benefits may vary.
Impact on the individual
As a result of completing this offering, 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.
