TechTalk with Red Hat: OpenShift Virtualization

This event took place on April 2, 2026.

OpenShift Virtualization

Faster innovation in a hybrid world

As hybrid cloud becomes the norm and organizations seek alternatives to traditional virtualization platforms, OpenShift virtualization is emerging as the perfect bridge between virtual machines and cloud native infrastructure.

OpenShift Virtualization in Practice

OpenShift virtualization makes it possible to migrate VM workloads into a container ecosystem without having to abandon your existing investments. In this TechTalk, we’ll explore what that means in practice: the benefits, the considerations, and how teams are implementing this today. You’ll leave with concrete ideas that you can immediately apply to your own projects.

Maxim Burgerhout, Principal Solution Architect, Red Hat, shares his insights on the benefits of running virtual machines within a container platform.
