KubeVirt: bringing virtual machines in a Kubernetes world
summary
KubeVirt brings full virtual machines into Kubernetes and OpenShift by adding a VM custom resource and control plane components, and it runs written in Go while calling mature C libraries via cgo/libvirt to manage QEMU/KVM guests. The project uses JSON-template blueprints and runtime reflection to validate deeply nested VM configs, spawns lightweight goroutines to poll a blocking libvirt API for VM metrics, and integrates with Prometheus for monitoring — an implemented solution that runs alongside containers.
