The DO156 | EX156 Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I training at WebAsha Technologies in Pune teaches you to run virtual machines on Red Hat OpenShift using the OpenShift Virtualization operator - the modern way to run VMs alongside containers on Kubernetes. It mirrors the real EX156 exam.

You will understand the Kubernetes architecture behind OpenShift, access the cluster through the web console and command line, deploy and configure the OpenShift Virtualization operator, and create, manage and monitor virtual machines.

Ideal for administrators moving from traditional virtualization (such as RHV/VMware) to OpenShift, DO156 needs no prior container experience and is the first step toward the EX316 Specialist certification. With expert mentors and real OpenShift labs, WebAsha prepares you to clear EX156 with confidence.

I joined WebAsha for RH318 EX318 Red Hat Virtualization to level up my skills, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Every topic was reinforced with practical lab assignments instead of just slides. The cloud labs were available round the clock, so I could practise assignments whenever I had time. The course focused on virtual machine lifecycle, live migration and virtualization workloads on Red Hat through practical, real-world scenarios. Hands-on practice on real Red Hat systems built genuine confidence, not just theory. Easily a five-star experience that prepared me for both the exam and real work.

DO156 | EX156 Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Administration I Course Training Overview

Run VMs on OpenShift with our Classroom and Online DO156 Training at WebAsha Technologies. It builds the OpenShift Virtualization skills validated by the EX156 exam and starts your path toward EX316.

Training Overview:

The DO156 training focuses on operating virtual machines on OpenShift: understanding the Kubernetes/OpenShift architecture, accessing the cluster with the web console and CLI, deploying the OpenShift Virtualization operator, and creating, managing and monitoring VMs. Real labs prepare you for the hands-on EX156 exam.

Intended Audience:

This course is ideal for virtualization and system administrators, cloud engineers and IT operations teams - especially those migrating from traditional virtualization (RHV, VMware) to OpenShift Virtualization.

Topics Covered:
  • Kubernetes & OpenShift Basics: Understand the architecture behind OpenShift.
  • Cluster Access: Use the web console and command line.
  • Deploy OpenShift Virtualization: Install and configure the operator.
  • Create Virtual Machines: Provision VMs on OpenShift.
  • Manage VMs: Start, stop and configure virtual machines.
  • Monitor VMs: Track VM status and health.
  • Storage & Networking Basics: Attach storage and networks to VMs.
  • Foundation for EX316: Build the base for the Specialist exam.
Requirements:

No previous container, Kubernetes or OpenShift experience is required. Online participants need a stable internet connection and a laptop/desktop for the live OpenShift labs.

Pre-Requisites:

No prior container/Kubernetes/OpenShift experience is required; the DO080 technical overview is recommended before DO156.

Career Benefits:

OpenShift Virtualization skills are in fast-growing demand as organisations migrate VMs to OpenShift. In India, related engineers typically earn ₹6 LPA to ₹26+ LPA, with strong growth toward EX316 and the RHCA.

I joined WebAsha for RH318 EX318 Red Hat Virtualization to level up my skills, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Every topic was reinforced with practical lab assignments instead of just slides. The cloud labs were available round the clock, so I could practise assignments whenever I had time. The course focused on virtual machine lifecycle, live migration and virtualization workloads on Red Hat through practical, real-world scenarios. Hands-on practice on real Red Hat systems built genuine confidence, not just theory. Easily a five-star experience that prepared me for both the exam and real work.

After a few years as a Data Entry Operator, I decided it was time for a real change and joined WebAsha's RH318 EX318 Red Hat Virtualization training. Cloud labs, recorded sessions and after-hours doubt support meant I could learn seriously alongside my job. The trainers were patient and genuinely industry-experienced, and the practical focus on virtual machine lifecycle, live migration and virtualization workloads on Red Hat made everything click. I transitioned into a Cloud Engineer role at Rakuten, nearly doubling my salary from 3 LPA to 7 LPA.

After comparing a few institutes, I chose WebAsha for RH318 EX318 Red Hat Virtualization, and I am glad I did. The mock interviews and interview preparation sharpened me for real technical rounds. We worked hands-on with virtual machine lifecycle, live migration and virtualization workloads on Red Hat, which made every concept stick. The certification preparation and mock tests made the actual exam feel straightforward. A couple of sessions felt a little fast, but overall a strong, practical program I recommend.
