Making Running Virtual Machines in a Kubernetes Cluster a Mainstream Activity

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

KubeVirt shows actual mechanics: an operator and CRDs plus CDI and Rook storage, running KVM/QEMU inside pods to provide VM Import, LiveMigration and snapshot/restore with Kubernetes Services and PVCs. Project is CNCF incubating, release 1.2 (Mar), ~5,100 GitHub stars, 310 contributors, 1,300 forks and ~8,700 PRs; CI tests against recent k8s minors and a performance repo measures startup and runtime metrics. Demo workflow imports a QCOW2, converts it via CDI, boots a VMI and migrates it live.
