ORION VMS · WORKSPACE

Windows and Linux VMs,
run like containers.

KubeVirt runs the VM layer natively on Kubernetes. Windows for the tools that need it, Linux for the rest, scheduled by the same plane as your containers.

Windows only where needed

Keep Windows for the tools that need it. Everything else runs on Linux containers.

Don’t want to leave your hypervisor?
Orion manages it too.

vSphere and Proxmox

Orion runs and controls the VMs on the vSphere and Proxmox hosts you already have.

The cloud as a hypervisor

AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and CoreWeave join through Crossplane, and Orion places VMs there like any other host.

One catalog, wherever it lands

Users launch the same templates on your hypervisors, your cluster, or the cloud.

LIFECYCLE

Keep the VMs you need. Hand back the rest.

VMs sit in the same workload list as your containers and desktops, with the same actions menu.

Lock it

A locked VM can’t be deleted until someone unlocks it.

Delete it

When the test is done, delete the VM and its compute goes back to the pool.

Questions about VMs

Do we need a separate hypervisor?

No. KubeVirt runs VMs natively on the Kubernetes cluster Orion already manages. If you would rather keep vSphere or Proxmox, Orion manages those VMs too.
