KubeVirt extends Kubernetes with the ability to run virtual machineworkloads, as Kubernetes itself is not able to launch those. To do soKubeVirt introduces dedicated custom resources around virtualizationto have enough flexibility to build and tune VMs towards existing andnew use-cases. While Kubernetes is a great platform for cloud-nativeworkloads there are also many workloads that require more isolationthan containers can provide, or are just in general better served withVMs than with containers.KubeVirt aims at a seamless integration with Kubernetes in order tocreate one consistent cloud-native API for container and virtualworkloads, sharing the same storage, network, and compute resources.In this BoF we will be discussing the basics and different use-casesof KubeVirt and adjacent projects. As an example we will explore howKubeVirt VMs can be used as nodes for a Kubernetes cluster,effectively allowing to run Kubernetes on Kubernetes.
