KubeVirt - making running virtual machines in a k8s cluster
summary
KubeVirt makes existing VMs first-class Kubernetes objects: disk images convert to raw and land in a PVC, QEMU/KVM runs the VM, and CDI upload proxy handles the import. Demo imports an old Windows XP image after manual driver and bus fixes, boots under KVM, exposes metrics to Prometheus/Grafana, supports snapshots and a successful live migration between nodes, while audio/VNC remains flaky. Project reports ~230+ contributors and ~800 forks and integrates with Rook/Ceph for block storage and CDI upload proxy for image ingestion.
