KubeVirt（https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt） is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. The aim is to provide a common ground for virtualization solutions on top of Kubernetes.

Note: KubeVirt is a heavy work in progress.

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 logic needs to be added to the cluster. The functionality is not added to Kubernetes itself, but rather added to a Kubernetes cluster by running additional 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

Example:
