Most workloads containerize just fine, but some things stubbornly remain VMs - appliances, one-off test boxes, anything that wants a full kernel of its own. Running a whole separate Proxmox host for a handful of VMs means two platforms to patch, two backup strategies, and two ways to do networking.</p> <p>KubeVirt solves this by making VMs first-class Kubernetes resources. The VM definition lives in git next to everything else, ArgoCD deploys it, and the same storage and network stack applies to both pods and VMs.</p>
