RH018 – Virtualization and Infrastructure Migration Technical Overview

RH018 – Virtualization and Infrastructure Migration Technical Overview develops practical capability in virtualization and infrastructure migration concepts spanning KVM, OpenShift Virtualization, current-state assessment, migration patterns, tooling, risk, business value, and roadmap planning.

Learners progress through Virtualization Landscape, KVM, OpenShift Virtualization, and Platform Concepts; Infrastructure Discovery, Application Assessment, Dependencies, and Readiness; Migration Patterns, Tools, Sequencing, Testing, Rollback, and Risk; Business Case, Operating Model, Governance, Roadmap, and Next Steps. Each stage connects Red Hat technology with implementation decisions, operational controls, troubleshooting, and reviewable evidence.

The learning journey follows an architecture team evaluating how to modernize a mixed virtualization estate and migrate workloads with controlled risk and produces a practical virtualization assessment, migration option analysis, risk register, and phased modernization roadmap for implementation and operational use.

What You Will Learn

• Validate virtualization concepts across KVM and OpenShift platforms against security, reliability, governance, and acceptance criteria.
• Compare current-state infrastructure and workload discovery alternatives and explain operational and technical trade-offs.
• Document application dependencies, compatibility, and migration readiness using repeatable commands, evidence, ownership, and handover notes.
• Improve migration patterns, tools, waves, and sequencing through monitoring, exception handling, automation, and review cycles.
• Map test, rollback, continuity, and risk controls across architecture, roles, dependencies, controls, and evidence.
• Configure business value and target operating-model choices with reproducible settings and validated prerequisites.
• Execute governance, ownership, and measurable success criteria and interpret outputs, events, logs, and system behavior.
• Diagnose phased virtualization modernization roadmap development through targeted checks, traces, and corrective testing.
