A Tale of Two Kingdoms: Uniting VMs and Containers with SUSE Virtualization

A live introduction to SUSE Virtualization for teams already running SUSE who are ready to bring VMs into their Kubernetes world

For years, virtual machines and containers have operated as two separate kingdoms, each with their own tools, their own teams, and their own operational overhead. Most organizations aren’t choosing between them. They’re running both, and they will be for a long time. The real challenge isn’t picking a side. It’s building the bridge that lets both kingdoms thrive under one roof.

In this webinar, SUSE’s Andrés Valero and Jeroen van Erp bring that story to life through a creative narrative and a live demo, showing how SUSE Virtualization bridges the divide by running VMs natively on Kubernetes. You’ll see what it actually looks like to manage both workload types from a single platform, without doubling your operational complexity.

What you’ll walk away with

• How SUSE Virtualization runs VMs natively on Kubernetes without forcing a rip-and-replace of your existing workloads
• Where this fits if you’re already a SUSE customer running SUSE Rancher Prime, and what it takes to add virtualization to your environment
• A live demo showing real VM lifecycle operations on a running SUSE Virtualization cluster
• A clear picture of why Kubernetes-based virtualization is the direction the industry is heading, and how to get there on your own timeline

Who this is for

This session is built for those who are managing virtual machines today and wondering what a Kubernetes-native path forward looks like. Whether you’re early in your evaluation or already thinking about a pilot, this is a practical starting point.
