What is Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization?
Red Hat® OpenShift® Virtualization helps organizations migrate, run, and manage traditional virtual machines (VMs) alongside modern workloads on a unified, hybrid cloud application platform.
As an included feature of Red Hat OpenShift, OpenShift Virtualization keeps critical VMs running reliably. With OpenShift Virtualization, users can:
- Migrate and run VMs with cloud-native benefits.
- Manage VMs alongside containers and serverless workloads with a unified set of tools.
- Modernize workloads at any pace by adopting containers, implementing microservices, or integrating AI, without disrupting traditional VMs.
OpenShift Virtualization is a feature, not a product. It is based on the upstream open source KubeVirt project and is available to download as an operator. OpenShift Virtualization provides the virtualization functionality of Red Hat OpenShift to deploy, manage, and scale virtual machines (VMs).
To migrate, deploy, and manage VMs only, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine offers a streamlined, cost-efficient solution only for virtual workloads.
