Scale to the Moon
This lab section is designed as a discussion exercise to allow us to consider other scenarios that we could expect to encounter, and likely solve with OpenShift Virtualization, and Ansible Automation Platform.
Take 5 minutes to discuss with a nearby lab mate that has also completed the lab, when you are ready to discuss, call over a proctor, and pose your idea to them.
Example Scenarios Created by the Lab Team
The team that created this lab has taken the liberty of thinking up the few scenarios listed below.
Scenario 1
Automating virtual machine deployments across multiple managed OpenShift clusters using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, Ansible Automation Platform, GitOps, and OpenShift Virtualization.
Scenario 2
Making use of the event-driven Ansible feature in Ansible Automation Platform to collect virtual machine metrics, and then trigger automated hot-plug of resources when utilization hits certain thresholds.
Scenario 3
Enabling the cluster descheduler in OpenShift to allow workloads to automatically re-balance across the cluster when new resources are available. This would be helpful after adding a new node in our previous scaling scenario so that the overloaded nodes will live migrate VMs to the new node when added.
