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 lets you respond to change with confidence, keep critical VMs running reliably, and move forward on a single foundation that supports innovation, growth, and emerging requirements such as AI. With OpenShift Virtualization, you can:

• Migrate and run VMs with cloud-native benefits.
• Manage VMs alongside containers and serverless workloads with a unified set of tools.
• Modernize your workloads at your own pace by adopting containers, implementing microservices, or integrating AI, without disrupting your traditional VMs.
