As organizations continue their journey toward cloud-native operations, the ability to run both virtual machines and containers on a single platform is becoming a game changer for IT and Infrastructure teams. Kubevirt bridges this gap by extending Kubernetes with powerful virtualization capabilities while maintaining all the familiar benefits of orchestration, automation, and scalability.

In this session, we will showcase how Kubevirt enables IT teams to manage traditional workloads alongside modern applications in a unified environment. Through a series of live demonstrations, we will highlight how complex VM workloads can be seamlessly migrated into Kubernetes, how the platform intelligently adapts to demand by scaling resources, and how disaster recovery can be streamlined using Kubernetes-native constructs.

Beyond the demos, we’ll discuss why running VMs and containers together on Kubernetes can help IT teams reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and build a foundation that’s ready for the future. The session will also highlight the operational advantages of adopting an open source approach, including easier integration with the broader Kubernetes ecosystem and more flexibility in how infrastructure is managed.

Attendees will gain practical insights into how Kubevirt fits into their infrastructure strategy, what operational advantages it delivers, and how it helps IT teams align with the broader shift toward cloud-native ecosystems.
