Automating lifecycle of virtual machines in Kubernetes using Ansible and KubeVirt
summary
Claim: Ansible automates full VM lifecycle inside Kubernetes using Ansible Collections and KubeVirt/OpenShift Virtualization primitives. Demo shows an OpenStack VM fleet rehosted into OpenShift/KubeVirt with minimal playbook changes, using the openstack and redhat.openshift_virt collections, the kubevirt VM modules and the OpenShift dynamic inventory plugin. It builds two VMs, deploys a Red Hat EAP cluster, exposes a Service+Route and a graphical console, and the demo app responds successfully.
