Virtlet
what is Virtlet
Virtlet is a Kubernetes CRI (Container Runtime Interface) implementation for running VM-based pods on Kubernetes clusters. (CRI is what enables Kubernetes to run non-Docker flavors of containers, such as Rkt.) For the sake of simplicity of deployment, Virtlet itself runs as a DaemonSet, essentially acting as a hypervisor and making the CRI proxy (Provides the possibility of mixing docker-shim and VM based workloads on the same k8s node) available to run the actual VMs This way, it’s possible to have both Docker and non-Docker pods run on the same node.
