KubeVirt Benchmar...
summary
Introduces an open source benchmarking suite for KubeVirt that automates VM creation, boot storms, live migration, capacity limits, failure recovery and in-guest IO (FIO) with a kubectl-like virtbench CLI. Runs reproducible tests at scale — authors show up to 400 VMs across batches and compare storage backends, reporting a live migration result of <5 min vs ~22 min for Portworx vs another CSI. Includes a results dashboard, Grafana plans, and pip/container install options.
