Course Overview

The Red Hat course DO336 Automate and Manage Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Ansible is designed for virtual machine administrators, enterprise architects, and system administrators tasked with migrating and managing virtualized workloads in hybrid cloud environments. This course prepares learners for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Automating OpenShift Virtual Machine Management Exam (EX336), a key credential for professionals aiming to validate their automation expertise. With enterprises rapidly adopting OpenShift Virtualization—evidenced by a 417% increase in managed VMs in 2025—skills in automating virtual machine operations are in high demand. The course is ideal for those supporting digital transformation initiatives, particularly organizations migrating from VMware due to rising licensing costs, with major enterprises like Emirates National Bank of Dubai successfully moving over 9,000 VMs to OpenShift.

Students in DO336 Automate and Manage Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Ansible gain hands-on experience with core technologies including Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV), Ansible Automation Hub, and Kubernetes-based virtual machine management. Through instructor-led labs, learners deploy and configure the Ansible Automation Platform operator, automation controller, and private automation hub within an OpenShift cluster. A key lab scenario involves automating the migration of virtual machines from VMware or Red Hat Virtualization to OpenShift Virtualization using MTV and Ansible playbooks. Participants build automation workflows to provision VMs, manage storage and networking, and perform Day-2 operations, simulating real-world tasks such as bulk VM migrations and lifecycle management in a production-grade OpenShift environment.

By completing DO336 Automate and Manage Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Ansible, professionals prepare for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Automating OpenShift Virtual Machine Management (EX336) certification, a recognized credential that contributes to the elite Red Hat Certified OpenShift Architect (RHCA) designation. Certified specialists are in demand, with senior OpenShift Virtualization consultants commanding hourly rates of $90–$110 in contract roles. Koenig Solutions enhances this training with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and official Red Hat courseware, ensuring learners gain access to structured, hands-on instruction with expert mentors. Graduates are positioned to lead enterprise automation initiatives, drive cost-effective cloud migrations, and advance into cloud architecture or DevOps leadership roles.
