This is a close-to 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:

• Release KubeVirt v0.4.0 (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/releases/tag/v0.4.0)

• Many networking fixes (@mlsorensen @vladikr) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/870 https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/869 https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/847 https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/856 https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/839 https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/830)

• Aligned config reading for virtctl (@rmohr) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/860)

• Subresource Aggregated API server for console endpoints (@vossel) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/770)

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

• Ansible - Improved Gluster support for kubevirt-ansible (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt-ansible/pull/174)

• 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:

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

• CRD validation using OpenAPIv3 (@vossel) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/850)

• Windows VM tests (@alukiano) (https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/809)

• Data importer - Functional tests (https://github.com/kubevirt/containerized-data-importer/pull/81)
