KubeVirt is an add-on for Kubernetes to manage both containers and VMs in a unified manner. With KubeVirt, however, Libvirt, QEMU and all the VM processes run in Kubernetes pods and this may introduce some overhead. For instance, resource usage accounting or limitation done by the container runtime, as well as longer (disk and network) IO paths might slow down KubeVirt VMs. For this talk, Guoqing Li, Dario Faggioli and Vasiliy Ulyanov will investigate the performance characteristics of VMs running in Kubernetes pods, using CPU, memory, disk and networking benchmarks and comparing that with plain KVM VMs. We will check the effect that tuning the configuration of the plain VMs has, for these benchmarks, and show whether it is possible to achieve something similar for VMs running with KubeVirt.
