OpenShift Virtualization is an OpenShift Container Platform feature that lets you run virtual machines (VMs) alongside traditional application containers on the same cluster nodes. OpenShift Virtualization is delivered, integrated, and managed through the OpenShift Operator framework.
OpenShift Virtualization is based on the KubeVirt open-source project. KubeVirt makes it possible to run VMs in a Kubernetes-managed container platform and delivers container-native virtualization by using kernel-based VMs (KVMs) in a Kubernetes container.
OpenShift Virtualization supports both Linux and Windows guest applications running on current and older versions of these operating systems. Existing VMs can be easily imported into OpenShift Virtualization. An enhanced web console lets you manage these virtualized resources alongside the OpenShift Container Platform cluster containers and infrastructure.
