Deploy common-instancetypes¶
The kubevirt/common-instancetypes provide a set of instancetypes and preferences to help create KubeVirt VirtualMachines.
Beginning with the 1.1 release of KubeVirt, cluster wide resources can be deployed directly through KubeVirt, without another operator. This allows deployment of a set of default instancetypes and preferences along side KubeVirt.
With the v1.4.0 release of KubeVirt, common-instancetypes are now deployed by default.
FEATURE STATE:¶
Control deployment of common-instancetypes¶
To explictly enable or disable the deployment of cluster-wide common-instancetypes through the KubeVirt virt-operator use the spec.configuration.commonInstancetypesDeployment.enable configurable.
$ kubectl patch -n kubevirt kv/kubevirt --type merge -p '{"spec":{"configuration":{"commonInstancetypesDeployment":{"enable": false}}}}'
Deploy common-instancetypes manually¶
For customization purposes or to install namespaced resources, common-instancetypes can also be deployed by hand.
To install all resources provided by the kubevirt/common-instancetypes project without further customizations, simply apply with kustomize enabled (-k flag):
Alternatively, targets for each of the available custom resource types (e.g. namespaced instancetypes) are available.
For example, to deploy VirtualMachineInstancetypes run the following command:
