Replatforming virtualized workloads: Do your VMs need a new home?
Briefly

Organizations face critical decisions regarding their virtualization strategies: migrating to new VM platforms or modernizing with Kubernetes. Many are opting for modernization due to the future infrastructure benefits. Platforms such as KubeVirt enable the simultaneous operation of VMs and containers on Kubernetes, providing a unified management approach. However, legacy applications with substantial code dependencies will likely remain on VMs. Effective management tools for this hybrid environment are essential. With strategic planning, enterprises can achieve successful replatforming, paving the way for ongoing innovation and the ability to operate in various cloud landscapes.
Organizations are strategically choosing whether to migrate to new VM-based platforms or to modernize with Kubernetes, favoring the latter for alignment with future infrastructure needs.
KubeVirt allows running VMs and containers side-by-side on Kubernetes, creating a unified control plane that streamlines management and promotes skillset integration between teams.
Legacy applications characterized by 'code gravity' are expected to remain on VMs, indicating a need for tools that effectively handle a hybrid management scenario.
With appropriate planning and partnerships, enterprises can successfully navigate replatforming, establishing a solid foundation for future innovation and multi-cloud operations.
