Description
Bridge Virtualization and Cloud-Native with Kubevirt and Openshift.
Key Features¿ Deploy and manage VMs in OpenShift, using Kubernetes-native tools.¿ Automate VM provisioning with GitOps and CI/CD pipelines.¿ Secure, monitor, and optimize VMs in hybrid cloud environments.¿ Explore real-world use cases, golden images, and multi-cloud setup.
Book DescriptionKubeVirt brings virtualization directly into Kubernetes and OpenShift environments. With KubeVirt, enterprises can run legacy applications alongside microservices on a single, consistent platform, eliminating the inefficiencies of maintaining parallel infrastructures.
Ultimate KubeVirt for OpenShift Virtualization is your comprehensive guide to mastering this powerful technology within OpenShift Virtualization. In this book, you will begin by understanding why KubeVirt matters in today's hybrid cloud landscape, and how it fits within the broader Kubernetes ecosystem. From there, the book walks you through environment setup, architecture fundamentals, and hands-on VM management.
You will also dive into essential topics like networking, persistent storage, and security-ensuring your workloads are production-ready. As you progress, advanced chapters guide you through GitOps automation, performance monitoring, and comparing KubeVirt with tools such as vCluster. Further, you will explore use cases like Golden VM images with the CDI project, hybrid/multi-cloud deployments, and future-focused features such as GPU passthrough and high availability.
What you will learn¿ Create and manage VMs inside Kubernetes/OpenShift clusters.¿ Set up networking, storage, and GPU support for virtual machines.¿ Automate virtualization workflows, using GitOps and the CDI project.¿ Integrate and scale VMs across hybrid and multi-cloud platforms.¿ Monitor performance and implement security as well as compliance controls.¿ Compare KubeVirt with alternatives like vCluster for hybrid scenarios.
