OKD Virtualization is the community project bringing traditional virtualization technology into OKD. OKD is an Open Source Community Distribution of Kubernetes optimized for continuous application development and multi-tenant deployments. OKD is a sibling community distribution to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. Meet the OKD Virtualization community, learn new features, discover deployment patterns and get involved!

OKD Virtualization is the community project bringing traditional virtualization technology into OKD. OKD is an Open Source Community Distribution of Kubernetes optimized for continuous application development and multi-tenant deployments. OKD is a sibling community distribution to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. OKD Virtualization is built on top of the KubeVirt project and its sibling operators. The Hyperconverged Cluster Operator project ensures an opinionated and robust deployment automating common Day-1 (installation, configuration, etc.) and Day-2 (re-configuration, failover, etc.) operations. The Hyperconverged Cluster Operator is available in the Openshift Community Operators catalog and so also on your OKD cluster. In this session you will learn about fresh OKD Virtualization features like: - Deploying a single node development/testing environment on CodeReady Containers (with nested virtualization) on your laptop - Using KubeVirt Tekton tasks to automate VM common tasks (creating/copying VMs, generating ssh keys, executing commands into a VM or manipulating disks with libguestfs tools) in a CI/CD fashion - Automatic importing and updating of pre-defined or custom boot sources

After this session newcomers will know what OKD Virtualization is while experienced users will get a sneak peek of new and upcoming features.

OKD Virtualization is the community project bringing traditional virtualization technology into OKD. It’s built on top of the KubeVirt project and the Hyperconverged Cluster Operator project. HCO ensures a single installable unit for Kubevirt and its sibling components leveraging the operator framework to provide the easiest way of installing and maintaining this additional control plane. This bundle will ship additional tools required to do traditional virtualization tasks like uploading disk images, host network configuration, local storage provisioning, and other functionality which is not covered by the core KubeVirt. On top of this a user interface embedded within the OKD Console is provided for managing the lifecycle of the Virtual Machines. Virtual Machines from other virtualization systems can be imported into OKD Virtualization leveraging the Konveyor Forklift project. Meet the OKD Virtualization community and learn about it!

After this session you will Know what KubeVirt is Know what HCO (Hyper Converged Cluster Operator) is and how it relates to KubeVirt How the OKD UI is presenting VMs A rough idea of the featureset of what this setup provides Seen a demo, and knowledge of how to set this up yourself

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.

An Operator is a method of packaging, deploying and managing a Kubernetes/OKD application. The Hyperconverged Cluster Operator is an 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
