workshop with Red Hat experts that will assess an organization’s business drivers, current state and the path

to low risk VM migration. Additionally, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine integrates with Red Hat
Ansible Automation Platform enabling IT teams to automate VM migrations at scale, along with day-to-day

VM management tasks. With Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, organizations can automate and
orchestrate across their virtualized environments and other areas of IT for more efficient, resilient and

consistent operations at scale.

Engine with capabilities like storage solutions, extensive backup and disaster recovery options and
