Chapter 5. Virtual Machine and Host High Availability

So far, we have learned how to set up a basic Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization infrastructure, and spinned up Linux and Windows virtual instances with advanced topics such as virtual machine snapshots, templates, and more. In this chapter, we will learn about a few more advanced high-availability functions of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, such as the following:

  • Virtual machine's live migration

  • Virtual machine's high availability

  • Hosting high-availability and cluster policies
