Squeezing three-AZ K8s into 2 AZ’s using vSphere

Even though Kubernetes is the “next cool thing”, I still see many customers sticking with Broadcom/VMware as the underlying layer. Having been a vSpecialist for over 10 years, I can relate: It is an amazing piece of middleware. Don’t have a third DC, but still want to install Kubernetes across two? With VMware vSphere, you can!

How does this KubeVirt thing actually work?

I see a lot of people at the moment looking at alternative ways to run Virtual Machines (VMs). Where VMs used to dominate, VMware vSphere was almost a no-brainer. As more people people start dipping their toes into containers, it starts to make more sense to run VMs on that same platform… If only that was possible… And it is: Enter KubeVirt.

But with KubeVirt on the rise, now I see many people who loose the idea of what is really happening under the covers.
