KubeVirt is an open-source project designed to enable the management of virtual machines (VMs) natively alongside container workloads within Kubernetes. By extending Kubernetes capabilities, KubeVirt allows users to run VMs and containers side by side on a single platform, providing a seamless environment for managing diverse workloads. This integration simplifies operations and enhances flexibility by allowing the use of Kubernetes tools and practices for VM lifecycle management. KubeVirt is particularly useful for organizations looking to modernize their infrastructure by consolidating containerized and traditional VM applications in a unified cloud-native ecosystem.
