KubeVirt & OpenShift CNV is changing the way we look at Virtual Machines, and VM orchestration, by bringing in the goodness of Kubernetes. This blog, I will share my thoughts about how this will transform our journey to the cloud.

Why KubeVirt & CNV?

I had various questions when I heard about container-native Virtualization (CNV) & KubeVirt. I was asking myself, “Why would I run a VM inside a container?”

It didn’t take much time to realize, that the enterprises have already invested in stabilizing a lot of core business systems that are running on VMs. As the first safest step towards “journey to the cloud”, is to “lift-shift” the workloads quickly to the cloud. This has an immediate impact on the TCO, and helps move more towards the OPEX model, and leverage the elasticity of the cloud!

Now if they have to lift and shift, there are a lot of systems that are already virtualized and working on VMs, it makes a lot of sense to quickly move these workloads!

Now, why can’t they just use the matured VM orchestrations?
