KubeVirt opinionated deployment via Hyperconverged Cluster Operator
How deploy KubeVirt and several adjacent operators with ease
KubeVirt enables developers to run Containerized Application and Virtual Machines in a common, shared Kubernetes/OKD/OpenShift environment.
An Operator is a method of packaging, deploying and managing a Kubernetes/Openshift application.
The Hyperconverged Cluster Operator is an unified operator deploying and controlling KubeVirt and several adjacent operators in a controlled and opinionated way.
KubeVirt enebles developers to run Containerized Application and Virtual Machines in a common, shared Kubernetes/OKD environment.
An Operator is a method of packaging, deploying and managing a Kubernetes/OKD application.
The Hyperconverged Cluster Operator is unified operator deploying and controlling KubeVirt and several adjacent operators such as:
- Containerized Data Importer
- Scheduling, Scale and Performance
- Cluster Network Addons
- Node Maintenance
- VM Import
The Hyperconverged Cluster Operator delivers the domain-specific knowledge needed to orchestrate and automate the deployment and the upgrades of Kubevirt and its sibling operators in an opinionated and managed way.
The Hyperconverged Cluster Operator can be installed on bare metal server clusters an a matter of minutes, even from a GUI, without requiring a deep knowledge of Kubernetes internals.
The Hyperconverged Cluster Operator can be easily deployed in combination with rook.io to provide cloud native virtualization and distributed self-managing, self-scaling, self-healing storage services on a single cluster.
An attendee will learn:
- quick intro to KubeVirt technology (virtualization add-on for Kubernetes)
- how to deploy and maintain it with the Hyperconverged Cluster Operator (deep-dive)
- ongoing development and how to contribute

KubeVirt's architecture is composed of two main components: virt-handler, a trusted DaemonSet, running in each node, which operates as the virtualization agent, and virt-launcher, an untrusted Kubernetes pod encapsulating a single libvirt + qemu process. To reduce the attack surface of the overall solution, the untrusted virt-launcher component should run with as little linux capabilities as possible. The goal of this talk is to explain the journey to get there, and the steps taken to drop CAP ...

VM sockets (vsock) enable communication between hosts and VMs. The vsock use cases have grown over the recent years to also cover cloud and containers projects. Andra and Stefano will walk through the details of a set of projects focused on isolation that use vsock as a communication channel. Then they will present debugging tools and further work items for improving and adding new features for vsock.

The debate on how to deploy applications, monoliths or micro services, is in full swing. Part of this discussion relates to how the new paradigm incorporates support for accessing accelerators, e.g. GPUs, FPGAs. That kind of support has been made available to traditional programming models the last couple of decades and its tooling has evolved to be stable and standardized (eg. CUDA, OpenCL/OpenACC, Tensorflow etc.). On the other hand, what does it mean for a highly distributed application ...

Operator SDK is a solid foundation for building robust applications for Kubernetes; one of such applications is the VM import operator (https://github.com/kubevirt/vm-import-operator) allowing Kubernetes administrators to easily import their oVirt-managed virtual machines to KubeVirt. In this talk, the speaker will show how his team used Operator SDK to build the VM import operator and how that operator can be used.

In this session, participants will get an overview of the new oVirt monitoring feature with its data warehouse (DWH) and Grafana, architecture and demo. The session will also cover the option of creating new dashboards based on the oVirt DWH schema. For creating new dashboards, attendees should be familiar with SQL querying.

OpenNebula has recently incorporated a new supported hypervisor: Firecracker. This next generation virtualization technology was launched by AWS in late 2018 and is designed for secure multi-tenant container-based services. This integration provides an innovative solution to the classic dilemma between using containers—lighter but with weaker security—or Virtual Machines—with strong security but high overhead. Firecracker is an open source technology that makes use of KVM to launch ...

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way we think about IT infrastructure: Another web server? More database capacity? Resources for your artificial intelligence use case? Just spin-up another instance and you are good to go. While most cloud images (e.g., AMIs on Amazon EC2) are meant to run a single service (e.g., nginx), for convenience these tend to be built on top of general-purpose OSes and full distributions, often resulting in GB-sized images that sometimes only need to perform a ...
