KubeVirt Alchemy: Transform VMs into K8s Workloads

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

KubeVirt runs VMs as pods on Kubernetes using components like the operator, virt-launcher and virt-handler backed by libvirt, supporting live migration and standard K8s scaling and lifecycle ops. The demo deploys KubeVirt via Flux GitOps and a Helm chart that boots a Fedora VM, auto-creates SSH keys, and shows a running VM pod that can call the Kubernetes API. Cloud deployments require nested virtualization or bare metal.
