Viewing information about virtual machine workloads

You can view high-level information about your virtual machines by using the Virtual Machines dashboard in the OpenShift Container Platform web console.

The Virtual Machines dashboard

Access virtual machines (VMs) from the OpenShift Container Platform web console by navigating to the Virtualization → VirtualMachines page and clicking a virtual machine (VM) to view the VirtualMachine details page.

The Overview tab displays the following cards:
