As organizations embrace Kubernetes for container orchestration, the need to integrate and manage virtual machines (VMs) alongside containerized workloads has become increasingly essential. VM on Kubernetes Day explores how Kubernetes has evolved to support VMs through technologies like KubeVirt, enabling seamless coexistence of legacy applications with modern cloud-native architectures.

This event provides a comprehensive overview of running VMs in Kubernetes, including:

  • Introduction to VMs on Kubernetes: Understanding why and when to run VMs in Kubernetes, and how this approach bridges traditional and cloud-native workloads.
  • KubeVirt Storage Deep Dive: A technical overview of KubeVirt, the leading Kubernetes-native virtualization solution, covering architecture, deployment, and features.
  • Unified Storage & Data Management: Strategies for managing VMs and containers storage and data side-by-side, leveraging Kubernetes’ robust orchestration and scaling capabilities.
  • Use Cases and Best Practices: A customer panel showcasing real-world examples of organizations modernizing infrastructure with Kubernetes-native VM support, including legacy application migration and hybrid workload scenarios.
  • Hands-On Lab: Practical demonstrations of deploying and managing VMs in Kubernetes, showcasing tools and workflows to simplify operations.

By attending, participants will gain insights into the benefits, challenges, and strategies for adopting VMs on Kubernetes, enabling a unified platform for both legacy and modern workloads. This event is perfect for IT architects, infrastructure engineers, DevOps practitioners, and system administrators looking to strengthen their Kubernetes expertise with a focus on storage and data management solutions.
