Field Challenges: We will begin by looking at the fragmentation we observe in the field—isolated VM estates (vSphere, RHV, Hyper-V) and ad-hoc container clusters managed separately. This fragmentation increases cost, complexity, and risk.
Operational Reality of Hybrid Workloads: Next, we will discuss the practical operational aspects of managing hybrid workloads, including networking, storage, observability, and governance across both VMs and containers.
Introducing OpenShift Virtualization: We will show how OpenShift Virtualization acts as the bridge between traditional VMs and cloud-native applications, allowing you to run both on the same OpenShift cluster using Kubernetes as the control plane.
From Silos to a Unified Hybrid Platform: Finally, we will cover the shift from "infrastructure silos" to a "unified hybrid platform." This section will include architecture, migration tooling (like MTV and MTA), and a practical migration strategy.
