Welcome to the OpenShift Virtualisation Hackathon! Here you'll have a chance to build your container native virtualisation prowess. Exercises will award points for each correct solution. You're in a race to reach the highest score before the session concludes!
|
|
|
|
**Let's get started!**
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 1.1 - The hackathon scenario
|
|
|
|
<Zoom>
|
|
| |
|
|
|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------:|
|
|
| *Acme Financial Services* |
|
|
</Zoom>
|
|
|
|
Acme Financial Services is a large bank based in Australia. They have a number of virtual machine workloads that are running on a traditional hypervisor and are considering moving these to another platform.
|
|
|
|
One of the potential options for Acme Financial Services is to adopt Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation as a container native virtualisation platform.
|
|
|
|
Your hackathon team are the pre-sales technical team engaging with Acme technical teams to secure buy-in for a large scale migration to proceed.
|
|
|

|
## 1.1 - Understanding the environment
|
|
|
|
For this challenge you'll be given a fresh bare metal OpenShift 4 cluster **with the OpenShift Virtualisation operator already installed**.
|
|
|
|
All challenge tasks must be performed on this cluster so your solutions can be graded successfully.
|
|
|
|
You can and are encouraged to use any supporting documentation or other resources in order to tackle each of the challenge tasks.

|
|
|
## 1.2 - Obtain your environment
|
|
|
|
Working in a small team you will have one shared cluster for team members to share. Your team will have a name allocated already.
|
|
|
|
To get underway open your web browser and navigate to this link to allocate an environment for your team https://demo.redhat.com/workshop/qudstj.
|
|
|
|
Register for an environment using `[team name]@redhat.com` and the password provided by your hackathon organisers. Registering with a team email will mean all your team members will be able to see the same cluster details for your shared team cluster.

## 1.4 - Confirm environment access
|
|
|
|
If your team have secured an environment and are ready to start the challenge please post a message in `#event-anz-ocp-virt-hackathon` with the message:
|
|
|
|
> [team name] have logged into an environment and are starting the challenge!
|
|
|
|
The event team will reply in slack to confirm your team has been recorded and start you with a base score of `10` points.
