*** Update: If you are using VMs to run Kubernetes, then you may need to enable Nested Virtualization. KubeVirt is not nested virtualization on baremetal - it's libvirt running in a container. These examples are from the KubeVirt Kind docs where nested virtualization was suggested if running in VMs and made it into the presentation. It can be confusing because I call it nested virtualization (which is wrong) and say it's just libvirt running in a container, which a container is not virtualization. Sorry for the confusion!***

In this video, we take a look at the differences between KubeVirt and vCluster. We'll walk through what each does and talk about some of the use cases. Then we will demo the installation KubeVirt and get a virtual machine running with the ContainerDisk and then a DataVolume.
