Agility Unleashed: Migrating VMs to next generation open source platforms

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Live demo shows migrating VMs from VMware, RHV/oVirt and OpenStack into KubeVirt/OpenShift Virtualization using Forklift/MTV with a real plan that moves 13 VMs and cites a 50‑VM throughput benchmark. Workflow uses vSphere API and a VDDK container image, maps networks and storage, and supports warm vs cold migration (warm uses CBT snapshots and incremental copy to minimize downtime). Requirements: MTV 2.4, OpenShift 4.11+, vSphere 6.5+, 10Gb NICs recommended; hooks run via Ansible; MACs are preserved.
