Exercise 9: A New Horizon¶
Time: 10 min
Previous: Exercise 8: The Final Showdown
The datacenter is quiet. Vertex Trust Bank runs on SUSE Virtualization end to end: containers and ledgers on one fabric, storage distributed, networks software-defined, licensing no longer a ransom note.
9.1 What you mastered¶
| Exercise | Skill |
|---|---|
| 1 The Arrival | Import Harvester into Rancher; navigate both UIs; kubectl on the cluster |
| 2 Subterranean Divide | Namespaces, Longhorn replica policy, VM network, SSH keys, images |
| 3 Flash Crash | Full VM create: volumes, network, cloud-init, fixed IP |
| 4 Rising Tide | Live migration; maintenance-mode evacuation |
| 5 Invisible Intruder | Cluster networks, untagged isolation, Kube-OVN overlay VPC |
| 6 Unthinkable Error | Snapshots, clone-restore, backup-target, schedules |
| 7 Stampede | VM templates and fleet scale-out |
| 8 Final Showdown | Migration UI / lift-and-shift mindset; guest agent; day-one ops on migrated VMs |
9.2 Where to go next¶
- SUSE Virtualization docs
- Rancher Prime / Virtualization Management
- Rebuild this lab anytime:
rodeo clean --yes && rodeo upfrom this repo - Customer-facing interactive twin: suse-virt-rodeo
- Automation that built your host lab: rodeo-cli
9.3 Tear down (when finished)¶
Sarah was right to bet on the new stack. You proved it under fire.
