Virtualization is entering a new era.
For decades, enterprise infrastructure relied heavily on traditional hypervisors to run mission-critical workloads. But as organizations adopt Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies, many IT teams now face a difficult challenge: how to modernize infrastructure without abandoning the thousands of virtual machines that still power core business applications.
OpenShift Virtualization in Production provides a practical solution to this challenge.
This hands-on guide shows platform engineers, DevOps teams, and infrastructure architects how to run virtual machines and containers together on a unified Kubernetes platform using OpenShift Virtualization. Instead of maintaining separate virtualization stacks and container platforms, you will learn how to operate both workloads side-by-side in a modern hybrid infrastructure.
Built around real-world production scenarios, this book walks you through the complete lifecycle of deploying and operating OpenShift Virtualization-from architecture design and cluster preparation to VM migration, performance optimization, security hardening, and day-2 operations.
Through step-by-step labs and a full end-to-end capstone project, you will learn how to migrate VMware workloads, deploy virtual machines alongside containerized services, implement distributed storage and advanced networking, and operate a resilient hybrid platform ready for enterprise production environments.
Inside this book, you will learn how to:
- Understand the architecture of OpenShift Virtualization and KubeVirt
- Prepare and configure OpenShift clusters for virtualization workloads
- Deploy and manage virtual machines using Kubernetes-native APIs
- Design production storage and networking using OpenShift Data Foundation and Multus
- Migrate VMware workloads using Migration Toolkit for Virtualization
- Perform live migration, scaling, and lifecycle management of virtual machines
- Implement observability with Prometheus and Grafana
- Secure and govern virtualization environments using RBAC and network policies
- Manage hybrid VM and container workloads in production
- Build a complete OpenShift Virtualization platform through a full-stack hands-on project
Unlike theoretical guides, this book focuses on practical infrastructure engineering. Every chapter includes hands-on labs designed to help you build real operational skills that apply directly to production environments.
By the end of this book, you will have the knowledge and experience needed to design, deploy, secure, and operate modern virtualization platforms built on Kubernetes.
Whether you are modernizing legacy infrastructure, migrating from VMware, or building a new hybrid platform from scratch, this book will equip you with the tools and strategies needed to succeed in the post-VMware era of Kubernetes-native virtualization.
