Multi-Arch VM deployment options with KubeVirt + CDI
summary
KubeVirt + CDI are ported and released for x86, ARM and s390x and the team builds a live multi‑arch cluster with an s390x control plane plus an AMD64 worker, enabling Fedora VMs on S390x and AMD64 imported via CDI; they enable nested virtualization on the AMD node, use node-feature-discovery labels to schedule by architecture, run three web pages across two VMs, and confirm the demo works (screenshots as fallback). Next steps: automated multi‑arch tests and combinations like S390x+ARM.
