There’s Openshift Virtualization included, which is based on the upstream kubevirt project. You’re essentially running VMs in containers and managing them (mostly) like the other container workloads in the environment.
Interesting…I’m using proxmox at home but running my containers in a VM. Looks like there’s an openshift community edition…I may have to check this out.
I’m not a sys admin by trade (networking), but my opinions at least have some weight where I work.
I imagine being redhat based, I could run FRR at the hypervisor level. For that matter being kubernetes I can use calico. Holy shit this could be awesome. I need to play.
Most apps run best as a container, but for appliances and legacy apps they have Openshift virtualization which runs VMs in the cluster by running KVM inside of docker.
The open source tech there is called Kubevirt. All VMs are 1st class citizens in the kubernetes API, so it is actually easier to run than VMware/Proxmox if you already have a Kubernetes cluster and you’re not doing complex stuff with qcow images or VM migrations.
I use both containers and VMs a lot with Kubernetes at work.
Openshift is a kubernetes platform isn’t it?
There’s still a need for real VMs, and I didn’t think openshift filled that.

Yeah, it’s a distro of kubernetes.
