Manage Virtual Machines¶
After a virtual machine is created, you can handle day-to-day operations on the same platform: secret configuration, snapshots and cloning, migration and drift, networking and storage changes, monitoring and health checks. This page groups the VM management documentation by task so you can jump directly to what you need.
Configuration & Security¶
-
Create a Secret for S3 authentication when object storage is used as the image source
Snapshots & Cloning¶
-
Create VM snapshots and restore a VM from a snapshot
-
Create snapshots automatically on a schedule
-
Clone an existing VM into a new virtual machine
Migration & Drift¶
-
Move a running VM to another node
-
Cold Migration within a Cluster
Move a powered-off VM between nodes in the same cluster
-
Migrate VMs between clusters by following the CLI steps; no UI is available yet
-
Automatically move VMs off a node after a power or network failure
Networking & Storage¶
-
Configure network mode, multiple NICs and fixed IPs when creating a VM
-
Configure system disks, data disks and storage classes when creating a VM
Monitoring & Health¶
-
Per-VM dashboards based on the KubeVirt Grafana dashboard
-
Configure Liveness and Readiness probes through YAML
