Creating and managing virtual machines

Create a virtual machine (VM):

Create a VM from a Red Hat image.

You can create a VM by using a Red Hat template or an instance type.
Create a VM from a custom image.

You can create a VM by importing a custom image from a container registry or a web page, by uploading an image from your local machine, or by cloning a persistent volume claim (PVC).

Connect a VM to a secondary network:

Linux bridge network.
Open Virtual Network (OVN)-Kubernetes secondary network.
Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) network.

VMs are connected to the pod network by default.

Connect to a VM:

Connect to the serial console or VNC console of a VM.
Connect to a VM by using SSH.
Connect to the desktop viewer for Windows VMs.
