As organizations embrace Kubernetes for container orchestration, the need to integrate and manage virtual machines (VMs) alongside containerized workloads has become increasingly essential. The Workshop explores how Kubernetes has evolved to support VMs through technologies like KubeVirt, enabling seamless coexistence of legacy applications with modern cloud-native architectures. It will provide a comprehensive overview of running VMs in Kubernetes.

By attending this joint Workshop the 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 Workshop is perfect for IT architects, infrastructure engineers, DevOps practitioners, and system administrators.
