Project Lightning Talk: Multi-Arch KubeVirt and CDI
Lightningat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Tuesday, 2025-04-01· at 11:45· Platinum Suite | Level 3·
summary
KubeVirt and Containerized Data Importer (CDI) run as operators across x86, ARM64 and s390x nodes, enabling a concrete workflow: import via CDI on x86 using VDDK-backed VMware images, disassemble and template disk images, then rebuild as a VM or as a container for ARM or s390x inside the same Kubernetes cluster. CDI still only supports VDDK import/clone/upload on x86, the conversion pipeline is declarative (YAML) and reproducible, and teams report successful end-to-end imports and cross-arch launches in mixed-architecture clusters.
