Plug & Play: Modular Networking for Kubernetes Virtualization

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

KubeVirt makes VM networking fully pluggable by exposing five integration points (registration via a KubeVirt CR, CNI for pod networking, sidecar services, domain XML mutations, and migration support) so external teams own their binaries, images and lifecycle. Core GA bindings like masquerade and bridge stay in-tree while less-used ones move to plugins; the project dogfoods the design and already has community plugins (two independent VDPA implementations, macvtap, vhost) that run in clusters and relieve the main repo of maintenance burden.
