As organizations embrace Kubernetes for container orchestration, the need to integrate and manage virtual machines (VMs) alongside containerized workloads has become increasingly essential. VMs on OpenShift Day explores how OpenShift  has evolved to support VMs through technologies like Kubevirt, enabling seamless coexistence of legacy applications with modern cloud-native architectures.

This event provides a comprehensive overview of running VMs in OpenShift, including:

• Introduction to VMs on OpenShift: Understanding why and when to run VMs on OpenShift, and how this approach bridges traditional and cloud-native workloads.

• OpenShift Virtualization Deep Dive: A technical overview of OpenShift Virtualization,Red Hat’s Kubernetes-native virtualization solution, covering architecture, deployment, and features.

• Unified Storage & Data Management: Strategies for managing VMs and containers storage and data side-by-side, leveraging OpenShift’s robust orchestration and scaling capabilities.

• F5's Advanced Application Services and Traffic Management: Ensure seamless virtualization management with robust security, high availability, optimized performance, and intelligent traffic management

• Use Cases and Best Practices: A customer panel showcasing real-world examples of organizations modernizing infrastructure leveraging OpenShift’s Kubernetes-native VM support, including legacy application migration and hybrid workload scenarios.

• Hands-On Lab: Practical demonstrations of deploying and managing VMs in OpenShift, showcasing tools and workflows to simplify operations.

By attending, participants will gain insights into the benefits, challenges, and strategies for adopting VMs on OpenShift, enabling a unified platform for both legacy and modern workloads. This event is perfect for IT architects, infrastructure engineers, DevOps practitioners, and system administrators looking to strengthen their Kubernetes expertise with a focus on OpenShift, security, storage and data management solutions.
