Running on Google Cloud C3 bare-metal instances, OpenShift Virtualization provides direct access to CPU and memory resources to help support performance-sensitive virtual machine (VM) workloads. Combined with the fully managed experience of OpenShift Dedicated, organizations can migrate and run VMs in the cloud while building a foundation for future innovation with cloud-native technologies. As organizations modernize their infrastructure, many are looking for ways to run both VMs and containerized applications on a consistent platform in the cloud. While Kubernetes and containers continue to drive application innovation, many critical workloads still run on VMs. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, built directly into Red Hat OpenShift and powered by the kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) hypervisor, enables organizations to run and manage VMs alongside containers on a common hybrid application platform. With the scalability and infrastructure capabilities of Google Cloud, teams can migrate and modernize VM workloads while standardizing operations, automation, and lifecycle management across environments. For many organizations, virtualization environments support applications that are deeply integrated into business operations. These workloads often cannot be easily refactored or replaced, making migration an important first step toward modernization. OpenShift Virtualization simplifies this process by allowing organizations to move existing VMs to OpenShift without disrupting the applications running inside them. OpenShift includes the migration toolkit for virtualization (MTV), delivered as an OpenShift operator. MTV provides guided workflows that help administrators connect to existing virtualization environments and select the VMs they want to migrate.
