+= Managing virtual machines by using OpenShift GitOps
+
+To automate and optimize virtual machine (VM) management in OpenShift Virtualization, you can use OpenShift GitOps.
+
+With GitOps, you can set up VM deployments based on configuration files stored in a Git repository. This also makes it easier to automate, update, or replicate these configurations, as well to use version control for tracking their changes.
+
+.Prerequisites
+
+* You have a GitHub account. For instructions to set up an account, see link:https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/start-your-journey/creating-an-account-on-github[Creating an account on GitHub].
+
+* OpenShift Virtualuzation has been installed on your OpenShift cluster. For instructions, see xref:../../../virt/install/installing-virt.adoc#installing-virt[OpenShift Virtualization installation].
+
+* The OpenShift GitOps operator has been installed on your OpenShift cluster. For instructions, see link:https://docs.openshift.com/gitops/1.15/installing_gitops/preparing-gitops-install.html[Installing GitOps].
+
+.Procedure
+
+Follow link:https://developers.redhat.com/learning/learn:manage-openshift-virtual-machines-gitops/resource/resources:connect-and-configure-external-repository-argo-cd-virtual-machines[the _Manage OpenShift virtual machines with GitOps_ learning path] in performing these steps:
+
+. Connect an external Git repository to your Argo CD instance.
+
+. Create the required VM configuration in the Git repository.
+
+. Use the VM configuration to create VMs on your cluster.
