Kubevirt

KubeVirt is a CNCF incubating project hosted on github to run virtual machines in Kubernetes.

Description

Run virtual machines in Kubernetes, full integration with Big Bang is in progress.

Usage

Helm

Installing

helm install kv ./chart --create-namespace --namespace=kubevirt

With default values, Kubevirt will deploy the following:

• 2 virt-operators pods
• 2 virt-api pods
• 2 virt-controllers pods
• 3 virt-handlers pods
• 13 custom resource definitions

Removing

Per KubeVirt documentation the kubevirt custom resource should be deleted prior to removal of the operator.

kubectl delete -n kubevirt kubevirt kubevirt --wait=true
helm uninstall kubevirt --namespace=kubevirt
kubectl delete ns kubevirt
kubectl delete crd kubevirts.kubevirt.io

Updating the KubeVirt Big Bang Chart

The helm chart needs to be created from raw manifests, as no equivalent alternative is publicly supported.

1. Generate the chart manifests

export VERSION=x.y.z # must manually set version 
make update-chart 
make clean

2. Review changes, update, and commit
