"KubeVirt CDI in Practice"
"KubeVirt CDI in Practice" delivers a comprehensive, hands-on guide to harnessing the power of virtual machine management within Kubernetes through KubeVirt and the Containerized Data Importer (CDI). This expertly crafted volume opens with a deep exploration of the architectural foundations of both KubeVirt and CDI, guiding readers through the key custom resource definitions, storage primitives, and security models that underpin robust virtualized environments in cloud-native clusters. Readers will gain a crystal-clear understanding of how these technologies interact, control data flow, and establish security and compliance boundaries essential for enterprise operations.
Moving from theory to practice, the book provides concrete deployment strategies, cluster preparation checklists, and detailed workflows for importing, managing, and migrating virtual machine images at scale. It addresses advanced storage practices, integrates real-world automations such as GitOps and custom controllers, and dives into the nuances of observability, troubleshooting, and high availability. From optimizing image pipelines to ensuring regulatory compliance and orchestrating complex DR solutions, practitioners are equipped with actionable insights, best practices, and design blueprints for every stage of the VM lifecycle.
Enriched by case studies and emerging trends, "KubeVirt CDI in Practice" not only demystifies VM data workflows but also looks forward to the evolving frontier of virtualization in Kubernetes—embracing multi-cloud, edge, and declarative automation. Whether you are building compliant workloads in the enterprise, spearheading cluster migrations, or architecting scalable platforms, this book stands as an indispensable resource for leveraging KubeVirt and CDI in real-world, production-ready Kubernetes environments.
