How to Use VMs with Kubernetes Effectively?

Asked by CoolCat87$
Hey everyone! I know containers have their perks compared to virtual machines, but a lot of software still isn't optimized for them. I'm curious about the best way to run virtualization alongside Kubernetes. Should I be looking at separate hardware for this setup, or is there a way to combine something like Hyper-V with Kubernetes using virtual machines? Any tips or best practices would be appreciated!

Kube-Virt is definitely a viable option! You can check it out at kubevirt.io. We're actually transitioning our development environment from VMware to Kube-Virt on some bare-metal servers running Talos. Itโ€™s a pretty exciting shift, especially since we're trying to cut down on licensing costs with VMware.
