Elephant in the room
summary
Kubernetes is positioned as a platform that can run containers and VMs side‑by‑side using KubeVirt control plane for KVM, but KubeVirt alone lacks VMware‑level automation and ecosystem glue so success depends on integrating concrete tools: CSI for storage (OpenEBS, Rook, NetApp/Portworx) for snapshots and live‑migration support, CNIs like Calico/OVN or multus for L2 IP persistence, and CI/CD/ops (Tekton/Argo, Prometheus/Loki). Real migrations follow a crawl‑walk‑run timeline and often mean choosing to pick a Kubernetes distribution that bundles validated storage, networking and UIs.
