KubeVirt


KubeVirtis a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. The aim is to provide a common ground for virtualization solutions on top of Kubernetes.

Introduction


Virtualization extension for Kubernetes


At its core, KubeVirt extends Kubernetes by adding additional virtualization resource types (especially the VM type) through Kubernetes's Custom Resource Definitions API. By using this mechanism, the Kubernetes API can be used to manage these VM resources alongside all other resources Kubernetes provides.

The resources themselves are not enough to launch virtual machines. For this to happen the functionality and business logicneeds to be added to the cluster. The functionality is not added to Kubernetes itself, but rather added to a Kubernetes cluster by runningadditional controllers and agents on an existing cluster.

The necessary controllers and agents are provided by KubeVirt.

As of today KubeVirt can be used to declaratively

Create a predefined VM
Schedule a VM on a Kubernetes cluster
Launch a VM
Stop a VM
Delete a VM

To start using KubeVirt


Try our quickstart at kubevirt.io.

See our user documentation at kubevirt.io/docs.

Once you have the basics, you can learn more about how to run KubeVirt and its newest features by taking a look at:

Submitting patches


When sending patches to the project, the submitter is required to certify that they have the legal right to submit the code. This is achieved by adding a line

  1. ``` sh
  2. Signed-off-by: Real Name <email@address.com>

  4. ```

to the bottom of every commit message. Existence of such a line certifies that the submitter has complied with the Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1, (as defined in the file docs/developer-certificate-of-origin).

This line can be automatically added to a commit in the correct format, by using the '-s' option to 'git commit'.
