Deploying a Windows virtual machine on OpenShift Online (Starter Plan)


I would like to achieve exactly what is on this video of OpenShift: https://youtu.be/Kx110kqoHo0 (Deploying a Windows virtual machine on OpenShift). However on the dashboard of my free OpenShift Starter account, I cannot find the sub-menu "Virtual Machine" under menu "Workloads", like shown in the video.

Can you please share with me some tips on how to run a Windows virtual machine (or alternatively a Ubuntu) on my free OpenShift Online environment? (unfortunately, I am not in the position of upgrading this account to a paid plan at the moment)

I would really appreciate your kind guidance and thank you very much for valuable time.


Solution

  • The feature you are looking for is called Container-native virtualization (CNV) and is not available on OpenShift Online at the moment. It is available in OpenShift Container Platform 4.4 as a Tech Preview.
