Why the Red Hat DO316 Course is Important

🎯 Why the Red Hat DO316 Course is Important
🧩 Course Overview

DO316 – Managing Virtual Machines with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization teaches how to run and manage virtual machines (VMs) alongside containers within a single OpenShift platform.
It’s a game-changing course for hybrid cloud and datacenter modernization.

💡 1. Unifies Containers and Virtual Machines

Most enterprises still rely on VM-based workloads (like VMware or KVM).
DO316 helps you run VMs directly inside OpenShift, eliminating the need for separate virtualization infrastructure.

🧠 One platform → One management layer → One operations model.

⚙️ 2. Reduces Dependency on VMware

With OpenShift Virtualization, organizations can migrate workloads from VMware or other hypervisors to OpenShift — achieving cost savings, flexibility, and open-source freedom.
It’s crucial now as many enterprises plan their VMware-to-OpenShift migration strategy.

💬 “From virtual machines to containers — without disruption.”

☁️ 3. Builds Skills for the Future of Hybrid Cloud

This course prepares administrators and architects to:

Deploy and manage VMs in OpenShift

Integrate VMs with Kubernetes-based workloads

Manage networking, storage, and high availability for VMs

Automate VM operations using Ansible and GitOps

🌐 Perfect for teams running hybrid workloads across datacenter and cloud.

🔒 4. Enterprise-Ready Security & Lifecycle Management

OpenShift Virtualization integrates native security, RBAC, and lifecycle automation — ensuring consistency across all workloads (VMs + containers).
DO316 teaches you to manage both through a single interface and API.

🚀 5. Essential for RHCA & Cloud Architects
