Kubertnetes : Install KubeVir

 

Kubertnetes : Install KubeVir


 

Install KubeVirt to deploy fully virtualized virtual machines in Kubernetes Cluster.

This example is based on the environment like follows.

+----------------------+   +----------------------+
|  [ ctrl.srv.world ]  |   |   [ dlp.srv.world ]  |
|     Manager Node     |   |     Control Plane    |
+-----------+----------+   +-----------+----------+
        eth0|10.0.0.25             eth0|10.0.0.30
            |                          |
------------+--------------------------+-----------
            |                          |
        eth0|10.0.0.51             eth0|10.0.0.52
+-----------+----------+   +-----------+----------+
| [ node01.srv.world ] |   | [ node02.srv.world ] |
|     Worker Node#1    |   |     Worker Node#2    |
+----------------------+   +----------------------+
