Customize Virtual Machines: One of the most important concepts when running virtual machines is to run the VMs from an existing disk image and also have the capability to customize the VMs.

Windows Virtual Machines: Microsoft Windows Server is a commonly used operating system, no virtualization solution would be complete if it wasn’t supported! This lab shows one method of provisioning a Windows Server virtual machine, including customization with SysPrep.

Bare metal OpenShift overview: Managing OpenShift nodes and resources is different than you might be used to. This module explores some aspects and concepts of OpenShift that are important if you’re responsible for the server hardware.

Network Management: Virtual machines, by default, connect to the OpenShift internal software defined network. This section will demonstrate how to connect VMs to an external physical network, such as a VLAN.

Storage Management: This module will introduce you to the basics of storage on OpenShift and how OpenShift Virtualization automatically provides boot sources for some machine images. This module will also show how to perform operations with snapshots and how to clone a VM.

Backup and Restore: Protecting virtual machines, and their data, is just as important as the performance and availability. See how the OpenShift API for Data Protection (OADP) provides a storage agnostic way to protect VMs in this lab.

Exposing apps using a Route: This lab walks through the process of using a Service and Route to provide internal-only connectivity between application components, then expose only the application’s front end to the world.

Exposing apps using MetalLB: Providing connectivity to VM-hosted applications, without putting the VM on an external L2 network, is a powerful way to manage connectivity to the application. This lab walks through the process of exposing just the database to the world, without connecting the VM to the external network.
