KubeVirt
Container-native virtualization for Kubernetes, enabling VMs and containers to run side-by-side.
About
What does KubeVirt do?
KubeVirt is an open-source project that provides a virtualization API for Kubernetes. It allows developers to manage virtual machines alongside containers on a unified platform, serving development teams who have adopted Kubernetes but possess existing virtual machine-based workloads that cannot be easily migrated to containers.
When was KubeVirt founded?
KubeVirt was founded in 2017.
What industry does KubeVirt operate in?
KubeVirt operates in Cloud Computing, Virtualization, Containerization, Open Source, Kubernetes, Cloud Native.
