From VMs to GitOps: Managing KubeVirt Workloads Declaratively with ArgoCD - Neel Shah

Description

From VMs to GitOps: Managing KubeVirt Workloads Declaratively with ArgoCD - Neel Shah What if managing virtual machines could be as seamless or automated as deploying a containerized application? In this talk, we shall discuss how to bring the power of GitOps to KubeVirt by managing VM workloads in a declarative fashion using tools such as ArgoCD or Flux. This talk will show how virtual machines can be treated as code with changes tracked in Git. And with ArgoCD, we can now automate all possible VM life-cycle operations such as provisioning, configuration, update, scaling, and live migration. The session will showcase real-world examples of versioning the VM manifests, enforcing consistency across different environments, and safely rolling back to a known good state. Whether you are modernizing legacy infrastructure or building a hybrid platform that mixes VMs and containers, this session will show you how GitOps principles can make the life of operation teams easier, fight drift, and bring VM management into the modern DevOps era.
