In this CNCF webinar, Roopak Parikh, Co-Founder & CTO at Platform9, and Joshua Hurt, Senior Software Engineer at Platform9, will introduce KubeVirt and what VMs with K8s mean for you and your organization. They will cover both the architecture of KubeVirt as well as examine some key use cases where you can already take advantage of Kubevirt to manage legacy applications. They will demo an application that is comprised of VMs, Containers, an RDBMS and a LoadBalancer-type Service. They will also show how HA scenarios for legacy components are automatically handled by Kubernetes and KubeVirt, and more.
