St Louis RHUG Lunch and Learn - NextGen Virtualization

You must register to attend

We hope you’ll join our St. Louis Red Hat® User Group Lunch and Learn event on Friday, July 21st from 11:00 AM - 1:15 PM CT at the Microsoft Technology Center in The Cortex (Gateway Arch I & II ). Red Hat's own Chris Bowland will give an overview and demo of OpenShift Virtualization and will field your questions. Also, the Microsoft team will be giving us a tour of the Microsoft Technology Center. If you haven't seen it yet, it's quite impressive! For more information, please visit Microsoft Technology Center.

OpenShift Virtualization (formerly container-native virtualization) lets developers bring VMs into containerized workflows by running a VM within a container where they can develop, manage, and deploy VMs side-by-side with containers and serverless, all in one platform.

OpenShift Virtualization is based on KubeVirt, an open source project that makes it possible to run VMs in a Kubernetes-managed container platform. KubeVirt delivers container-native virtualization by using Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) within a Kubernetes container.

Started by Red Hat, KubeVirt is now a CNCF incubating project. Red Hat is one of the leading contributors to the Kubernetes ecosystem, and builder of key features such as StatefulSets, role-based access control (RBAC), and Network Policy, as well as critical components of Kubernetes, including etcd (the cornerstone of Kubernetes that maintains cluster configuration).

Lunch will be served starting at 11:00, so bring your appetite as well as your questions! Looking forward to seeing you there!
