libvirt users - Jul 2021 - self-study material sought

I am doing a retraining as IT-specialist atm and have 2 weeks full time
ahead to dive into virtualization.
The main training will we looking at Hyper-V which I have not interest
whatsoever in.

Now I want to get a good grip on the libvirt/kvm/qemu side of things and
am looking for good learning resource to dive into for this.
Can anybody recommend anything?

  * I like video but am able to read
  * "just google around a bit"/"search on youtube" is not
the kind of
    recommendations I am up for (I will do this if noting else comes out
    of this anyway)
  * I'd like to go from 0 to hero (even though I am a bit above 0
    already, but like to start from the ground)
  * alternatively proxmox would be a topic worth considering for me

looking forward to any recommendation in this.

thx and best

Gunnar

Hiya,

I'd recommend reading the oVirt/RHEV documentation:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/

Start with 'Planning' and go on from there.

I also recommend that you build a test environment, if you have a 
reasonably powerful workstation or small server, you can build a virtual 
oVirt environment using qemu-kvm or VirtualBox. You could also just use 
a few spare PC's if you have any.

HTH
