KubeVirt: Converge IT infrastructure into one single Kubernetes platform
summary
KubeVirt installs into an existing cluster (minikube or bare metal with nested KVM) via the operator and exposes VM lifecycle through kubectl plus a kubevirt-specific client; it runs libvirt/KVM inside a pod (compute + volume containers) and supports image formats qcow2/raw, container-disk for ephemeral disks and persistent disks via PVCs or the containerized data importer with DataVolume automation. Networking uses CNI plugins (bridge, multus, ovn), supports live migration, and runs alongside containers on the same Kubernetes control plane.
