Certain virtual machine (VM) workloads are crucial and not obsolete, but there is a lack of a clear path to modernization. Currently, VMs run on an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) layer, or inside of public clouds, which are costly and require time-intensive maintenance from both operators and developers. This poses a problem for DevOps teams aiming to be agile, innovative, and secure.

But wait - what if you could run these VMs on top of Kubernetes, inside pods, alongside containers, and do so very affordably? And what if you could do it all for far less than the cost of doing it with Public Cloud (like AWS), or with a locked-in Private Cloud (like VMware vSphere)?

The short answer is: you can! With Mirantis Kubernetes Engine 4 (MKE4) and MKE Virtualization (Mirantis Kubernetes Engine + open source KubeVirt) you can easily move VM workloads from any existing setup to Kubernetes.

This framework will enable you to gain:
‣ Kubernetes-native high availability (HA) and autoscaling capabilities for VMs
‣ Simplified ways to extend VM functionality with adjacent containerized services
‣ Enhanced security with consistent policy application
‣ Automation through GitOps and Kubernetes-native configuration
‣ A pathway to modernize VMs into scalable, containerized apps

In this webinar, Product Manager for MKE4, Sergey Goncharov, will cover the cost-comparisons, best practices, and open source tooling and integrations for selecting workloads suited to this approach. He will also showcase how MKE4 is a cutting-edge solution that aims to drastically streamline these Day 2 operations all while leveraging the very latest in Kubernetes automation and security. Check out this webinar to learn more about Mirantis’ all new solution: MKE4.
