In the next part of the series, I’m exploring Red Hat OpenShift as an alternative to VMware. OpenShift is a very capable “cloud-like” platform which is focused on delivering Microservices and Virtual Machines in a single converged platform. You can run containers and virtual machines side by side as Kubernetes objects with all the scheduling, scaling, distribution and healing benefits that Kubernetes as an orchestrator brings.
Areas covered are:
- Licensing and Editions
- Management
- High Availability
- Resource Scheduling
- Live Migration of Virtual Machines
- Live Migration of Storage
- Disaster Recovery
- Migration from VMware
Caveat, since recording this I have found a way to secure virtual machines on a VLAN bridged localnet. To do it you can follow this learning path on the Red hat website.
