Whether you're looking to migrate away from your current virtualization platform or you're just looking for a unified platform for both VMs and containers, Red Hat OpenShift is a centralized control center for all the services you provide to your users. Here's how to get started with OpenShift Virtualization, a feature of Red Hat OpenShift. To use OpenShift Virtualization, you must have access to a bare metal OpenShift cluster. There are several ways to install OpenShift: Interactive : Deploy a cluster with the web-based Assisted Installer. This provides smart and safe defaults, and performs several pre-flight validations before installing a cluster. Local agent : In an air-gapped or network-restricted environment, you can deploy a cluster locally with the agent-based installer. Automated : Deploy a cluster on infrastructure provisioned by the installer using your host's baseboard management controller (BMC). Full control : Deploy a cluster on your own infrastructure.
