Checklist for Migrating VMs to Red Hat OpenShift

This document is a checklist that outlines the process for migrating virtual machines (VMs) to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Google Cloud. It describes the changes in the virtualization landscape that necessitate a new platform for organizations. The checklist details several key features of OpenShift Virtualization, including the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV) for simplifying VM migration, integrated automation through Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, and live migration capabilities to minimize downtime. It also emphasizes the flexibility of modernizing at one's own pace by integrating with Google Cloud services and managing both VMs and containers with the same tools. Furthermore, it discusses the performance optimization available through Google Cloud's C3 bare metal instances, which support low-latency and high-throughput virtualization. The document concludes by addressing operational complexity reduction through managed support and flexible purchasing options to streamline cloud costs.
