The rapid adoption of Kubernetes in the IT landscape has generated demand for the ability to run traditional virtualized workloads on Kubernetes clusters, allowing cluster administrators to manage virtualized and containerized workloads with the same tooling. Many workloads are difficult and/or costly to containerize and will remain virtualized for years to come. SUSE's container platform strategy must include the ability to deploy and manage virtualized workloads alongside modern container native ones. This talk will discuss the journey of container newbies as they discover the world of go, container runtimes, Kubernetes, devops, and KubeVirt.

A majority of the presentation will focus on KubeVirt, a Kubernetes extension allowing virtual machines to be deployed and managed like other Kubernetes resources. The journey of painting KubeVirt green with SLES15 SP2 will be discussed, including building the various components using SLE tools and dependencies, and then using those to build container images for deployment to a Kubernete
