This is a weekly update from the KubeVirt team.

In general there is now more work happening outside of the core kubevirt repository.

We are currently driven by

• Building a solid user-story around KubeVirt

• Caring about end-to-end (backend, core, ui)

• Getting dependencies into shape (storage)

• Improve the user-experience for users (UI, deployment)

• Being easier to be used on Kubernetes and OpenShift

Within the last two weeks we achieved to:

• Multi platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) support for virtctl (@slintes) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/811)

• Stable UUIDs for OfflineVirtualMachines (@fromanirh) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/766)

• OpenShift support for CI (@alukiano, @rmohr) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/792)

• v2v improvements - for easier imports of existing VMs (@pkliczewski) (https://github.com/kubevirt/v2v-job)

• Data importer - to import existing disk images (@copejon @jeffvance) (https://github.com/kubevirt/containerized-data-importer)

• POC Device Plugins for KVM and network (@mpolednik @phoracek) https://github.com/kubevirt/kubernetes-device-plugins

In addition to this, we are also working on:

• Subresources for consoles (@davidvossel) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/770)

• Additional network glue approach (@vladikr) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/787)

• virtctl convenience functions for start/stop of VMs (@sgott) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/817)
