== Creating and managing virtual machines
|
|
|
|
Create virtual machines (VMs) by using the web console:

|
|
|
* xref:../virt/virtual_machines/virt-create-vms.adoc#virt-quick-creating-vm_virt-create-vms[Quick create a VM].
|
|
* xref:../virt/virtual_machines/virt-create-vms.adoc#virt-creating-vm-custom-template_virt-create-vms[Customize a template to create a VM].
|
|
|
|
Connect to the VMs:
|
|
|
|
* Connect to the xref:../virt/virtual_machines/virt-accessing-vm-consoles.adoc#virt-vm-serial-console-web_virt-accessing-vm-consoles[serial console] or xref:../virt/virtual_machines/virt-accessing-vm-consoles.adoc#virt-connecting-vnc-console_virt-accessing-vm-consoles[VNC console] of a VM by using the web console.

== Next steps
|
|
|
|
* Connect the VMs to secondary networks:
|
|
|
|
** xref:../virt/virtual_machines/vm_networking/virt-attaching-vm-multiple-networks.adoc#virt-attaching-vm-multiple-networks[Connect a VM to a Linux bridge network].

|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
VMs are connected to the pod network by default. You must configure a secondary network, such as Linux bridge or SR-IOV, and then add the network to the VM configuration.
