Running VMs And Containers side by side in K8s

Build, modify and deploy all the things in one way and one environment
Single workflow for devs/ops
MOve a VM to K8; no Docker needed

Approaches

RancherVM
Kata-Containers
Mirantis Virtlet
Google gvisor
Most of these are focused on slightly different problems, mostly around isolation/security

KubeVirt

Runs and exposes VMs in containers
Goal: let you migrate your existing VMs to a K8 cluster
OS project from Redhat
Unified platform to build, modify and deploy apps
Both VM workloads and container workloads using the same automation and K8s API
Treat VMs like any other K8s worklad, while preserving its VM-ness

How it Works

Extends an existing K8 cluster
Just deploy it on your existing cluster
- Implemented as a Custom Resource Definition
