Kubernetes<\/a> is great for managing containers. But, as popular as containers are, we’re still running a lot of applications on virtual machines (VM). Wouldn’t it be nice if you could use Kubernetes to orchestrate both your containers and VMs? Red Hat<\/a> certainly thinks so, and with the release of\u00a0Red Hat OpenShift 4.7<\/a>, you can use their Kubernetes distribution to manage both your older mission-critical and newer cloud-native applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a little over four years’ time, the project born from Google’s internal container management efforts has upended the best-laid plans of VMware, Microsoft, Oracle, and every other would-be king of the data center.<\/p>\n

Red Hat’s doing this with its technology preview, Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV). This will let you easily migrate VMs at scale to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization<\/a>. This, in turn, will enable developers to access legacy VMs from OpenShift. You’ll be able to quickly deploy MTV on OpenShift with OperatorHub<\/a>. Migrations are performed with a few simple steps. This starts by providing source and destination credentials, then mapping the source and destination infrastructure and creating a choreographed plan, and finally, executing the migration effort.<\/p>\n

MTV will be generally available later this year and will include extended capabilities to further reduce downtime, diminish risk, and optimize overall project success. Features will include pre-migration checks to detect potential compatibility issues, enhanced data copy functionality, and deeper automation capabilities, eliminating the need for many manual tasks during the migration effort.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These older VMs are made welcome on OpenShift by the latest version of OpenShift Virtualization<\/a>. This edition’s new features and enhancements include:<\/p>\n
