Streamlining the KubeVirt virtual machine creation
summary
KubeVirt adds instance types and preferences as new CRDs (available since 0.57) that split resource sizing from runtime hints, expand into the VirtualMachineInstance spec at creation, and support cluster and namespaced defaults; the CLI is extended (new create subcommands, 0.59 VM creation) so manifests are emitted and piped into kubectl, while image-based inference uses labeled images to pick a default instance type; demo shows a VM created from an uploaded image with the inferred instance type applied and controller revisions recorded.
