Why your KubeVirt VMs can’t move between clusters — and how EVPN fixes it
↗
KubeVirt-managed VMs currently cannot be migrated across Kubernetes clusters, and the article proposes using EVPN to resolve this limitation.
Teams that have adopted KubeVirt for VM workloads expect the same flexibility they have with traditional hypervisors, including cross-cluster migration for load balancing or disaster recovery. Without a solution, those teams must redesign their placement strategies or accept reduced resilience. EVPN offers a networking approach that could restore migration capability, impacting how operators design multi-cluster environments.

KubeVirt lacks built-in support for moving VMs between separate Kubernetes clusters.
The article suggests that EVPN can provide the necessary network fabric to enable such migrations.
Adopting EVPN will require additional network configuration and possibly new components in the cluster stack.
