Automating Lifecycle of Virtual Machines in Kubernetes Using Ansible and KubeVirt

Discover how to automate the lifecycle of virtual machines in Kubernetes using Ansible and KubeVirt in this 32-minute conference talk from DevConf.US 2024. Explore the crucial role of automation in managing reproducible workloads across various environments, including on-premise, cloud, and edge systems. Learn about KubeVirt, an open-source project that enables running virtual machines within Kubernetes, and how Ansible simplifies its setup, configuration, and management at scale. Gain insights into the Ansible collections, plugins, and modules available for KubeVirt, methods for automating virtual machine migration to Kubernetes, common automation use cases, and a reusable set of assets to kickstart your KubeVirt automation journey with Ansible. Presented by Andrew Block and Harsha Cherukuri, this talk will expand your horizons on running virtual machines in new ways while leveraging Ansible's robust automation capabilities.
