Purpose of this repo

This repository and its contents, aim to provide instructions and materials to be able to host a demo on KubeVirt technology.

It contains links to different materials already available on the website or videos in the KubeVirt channel that could help set up a demonstration environment.

Many links point to the documentation at user-guide, going exactly to the topic commented at that point.

Note: Videos from YouTube can be downloaded 'locally' for offline usage via youtube-dl or similar tools so, that's also an option for booth display.

Demo

In this section you'll find links to resources to prepare your demonstration about KubeVirt technology.

Demo Script

Check materials from KubeVirt-Tutorial for preparing the contents. KubeVirt-tutorial contains a list of scenarios aimed at exploring interactively the technology, from deploying KubeVirt, then doing Virtual Machine operations, using DataVolumes, KubeVirt UI and Multus.

Basic

The basic demo should contain:

• KubeVirt installation
• VM Lifecycle documentation on user-guide
  • create VM
  • start VM
  • pause VM
  • resume VM
  • stop VM
  • create container disk documentation on user-guide

So the demonstration should start with:

• Quick introduction to KubeVirt
• Lifecycle basis (create, start, pause, resume, stop)
• Consider demonstrating KubeVirt UI as we target new users

Advanced

The advanced demo should contain:

• Advanced operations
  • Live Migration documentation on user-guide
  • Node Drain/Eviction documentation on user-guide
• Install from ISO (Article covering Windows installation using an ISO)
  • Run a Windows VM
    • Access via RDP over a dedicated network Expose virtual machine ports documentation on user-guide

So the demonstration would start where 'basic' was left and perform:

• live migrate a VM
• perform a node drain
• install VM from ISO
• Access VM console in graphical mode

Online resources

Technology hands-on

Katacoda is a platform for online experiencing of technologies and empowers to perform trainings from your browser. KubeVirt has 3 scenarios as of this writing that cover the topics on the website laboratories.

Katacoda scenarios covers already some of the features and requires just a browser with internet connectivity from participants:

• Installing KubeVirt
• Using Containerized Data Importer
• Upgrading KubeVirt

Videos

The KubeVirt YouTube Channel features videos on the technology and community meetings.

• Kube Virt 2 minutes introduction

Above 'Katacoda' labs have their video counterpart:

• Using KubeVirt
• Experimenting with CDI
• KubeVirt Upgrades

Additional videos showcase how to demonstrate KubeVirt UI:

• Managing KubeVirt Using OpenShift Web Console
  • Using compiled binary
  • Using container
• KubeVirt Basic Operations
• KubeVirt + Neutron
• KubeVirt basic presentation

Offline resources

Technology hands-on

For offline demonstrations you can use:

• MiniKube
• Kind

Both of them makes it easy to have attendees to deploy KubeVirt using virtual machine or containers.

Additional resources on the technology

In this section you'll find links to different articles in KubeVirt website that can provide more information of topics of interest so that

• How to import VM into KubeVirt

Windows workloads

• Install Windows from an ISO

Console access or UI

• KubeVirt UI options
• OKD UI console installation for KubeVirt

Development

• Use VSCode for KubeVirt development
