Taming the VM Sprawl: KCP Meets KubeVirt
summary
Shows how KCP provides a single control plane for KubeVirt VMs by hosting per-tenant workspaces as isolation units, running an API sync agent in each physical cluster to export CRDs into a central provider workspace, and publishing them via API export and API binding. Creates VMs in mapped namespaces with global prefixes on east/west clusters and synchronizes object state back through KCP’s virtual workspace aggregation. Live demo creates and runs VMs across two clusters, proving end-to-end multi-cluster tenant isolation.
