"KubeVirt and Containerized Data Importer (CDI) enable VMs to be treated as first-class citizens in Kubernetes, merging containerized and virtual machine workloads into a single platform."
"The shift towards Kubernetes-native virtualization requires organizations to rethink their data protection strategies, as traditional methods for hypervisors do not directly apply to KubeVirt's architecture."
KubeVirt integrates virtual machines into Kubernetes, allowing for a unified compute environment. This shift necessitates a reevaluation of VM lifecycle management and data protection strategies. Traditional hypervisor data protection methods are well-established, but KubeVirt's architecture, which emphasizes declarative management and pluggable storage, alters the approach to backup and disaster recovery. Organizations must adapt their understanding of Kubernetes environments, especially regarding the need for VM data protection, as VMs are treated as first-class citizens within Kubernetes.
