Cloud Native Theater | KubeVirt Summit: Measuring KubeVirt Performance and Scale wi... Sreeja Varnam

This talk discusses KubeVirt's performance and scalability, presented by Sreeja Varnam from NVIDIA. The speaker explains how KubeVirt utilizes KWOK (Kubernetes Without Kubelet) to simulate thousands of Nodes and VirtualMachineInstances (VMIs), creating a large-scale environment for stress testing the KubeVirt control plane. The session highlights techniques for evaluating control plane behavior under extreme scale, identifying scalability limits and performance bottlenecks, while also exploring simulated load generation and data visualization methods to track performance metrics across releases.
