OpenShift Virtualization Onboarding Kit

A bite-size approach reference project for deploying virtualization workloads for those who are just starting with OpenShift.

WARNING: This project DOES NOT replace the official OpenShift Virtualization training, which is highly recommended, nor the official documentation. Instead it is supposed to serve as a complement and a facilitator to partner and customer engineers just getting started.

Prerequisites

• OpenShift 4.17+ cluster with OpenShift Virtualization operator
• CLI tools: oc, kubectl, virtctl
• Optional: kustomize, helm, ansible depending on chosen approach

• Configuring secondary networks with layer 2 topology
• Setting up your VMs on the same network as your nodes (localnet)
• Setting up your VMs on VLANs (localnet)
• Setting up your VMs on VLANs (Linux Bridges)
• Setting VMs on Hardware Accelerated networks (SR-IOv)
• Configuring IP addresses through cloud-init
