Review on KubeVirt by Evan Hernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool for managing Kubernetes deployments

It's easy to start with, has good documentation, and is fairly well supported by other cloud providers. I have used it in production at my current employer, where we run our own k8s clusters using multiple clouds (GCP/AWS). There are some features that aren't available out of the box or require additional setup depending on your use case, such as setting up load balancers, etc. For example, AWS doesn't support it natively so you need to do additional configuration. Also, when running in GKE there was an issue with pods not being able to connect to external services like redis, which required us to adjust firewall rules. We're currently looking into alternative solutions but haven't found anything yet. The ability to easily spin up dev environments across different cloud platforms without having to worry about networking issues.
