Modernise your virtualization skills with our Classroom and Online Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (DO316 | EX316) Training at WebAsha Technologies. This program teaches you how to run and manage virtual machines on Red Hat OpenShift using the OpenShift Virtualization Operator (KubeVirt), aligned with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.18. Through hands-on, performance-based labs you will gain the exact skills validated by the EX316 exam and the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization credential.
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Training Overview:
The DO316 EX316 training focuses on planning, deploying and operating production-grade VMs on OpenShift. You will install the OpenShift Virtualization Operator, provision and access VMs, and configure networking, storage, backups, live migration and VM imports - all within a real Kubernetes-native platform. The course blends concise concepts with real-lab practice so you are ready for the hands-on nature of the EX316 exam.
Intended Audience:
This course is ideal for site reliability engineers (SREs), cluster and platform engineers, systems administrators, cloud administrators and cloud engineers who want to run virtual machines on OpenShift and validate their skills with an official Red Hat certification. It is also well suited to virtualization professionals migrating away from traditional hypervisors (such as VMware vSphere) toward a Kubernetes-native platform.
Topics Covered:
-
Deploy OpenShift Virtualization: Install and configure the OpenShift Virtualization Operator with the HyperConverged resource using Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).
-
Create and Access Virtual Machines: Provision VMs from templates and instance types, and access them through the web console, virtctl, VNC and SSH.
-
Customise VMs with cloud-init: Inject credentials, configure software repositories and run first-boot commands using cloud-init in VM templates.
-
Configure VM Networking: Work with Kubernetes networking, Services, Multus CNI, NetworkAttachmentDefinitions and node networking to connect VMs to internal and external networks.
-
Manage VM Storage: Configure persistent storage, attach and detach disks, and use DataVolumes and the Containerized Data Importer (CDI) to populate volumes.
-
Snapshots, Clones & Templates: Create and restore VM snapshots, clone VMs and disks with DataVolumes, and build custom templates for repeatable provisioning.
-
Live Migration & Node Maintenance: Perform live migrations with affinity rules, drain nodes and manage node maintenance without downtime.
-
Backup & Restore with OADP: Deploy the OADP Operator to back up and restore virtual machine workloads.
-
Import & Migrate VMs: Import OVA images and migrate virtual machines from VMware vSphere and Red Hat Virtualization using the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV).
-
High Availability & Scheduling: Configure eviction strategies, health probes, watchdog devices, node selectors, affinity, tolerations and taints for resilient VMs.
Requirements:
Learners should be comfortable with the Linux command line and basic OpenShift/Kubernetes concepts. For online participants, a stable internet connection and a laptop or desktop are required to join live sessions and access the OpenShift cloud labs, which are essential for mastering the practical EX316 skills.
Pre-Requisites:
Red Hat recommends RHCSA-level Linux skills (RH200 or equivalent) together with OpenShift experience such as DO180 (Introduction to OpenShift Applications) or the OpenShift Virtualization Administration path (DO156 and DO256). Prior exposure to virtualization or containers is helpful but not mandatory - our trainers bridge any gaps before advanced topics.
Career Benefits:
Earning the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization (EX316) credential positions you for high-demand roles such as OpenShift Administrator, Virtualization Engineer, Platform Engineer, SRE and Cloud Infrastructure Specialist. As enterprises consolidate VMs and containers on Kubernetes and migrate off legacy hypervisors, certified professionals in India command strong packages - typically ₹6 LPA to ₹30+ LPA depending on experience and role - with clear progression toward the RHCA.
