The summary

The piece reports that the Cloud Native Computing Foundation has graduated KubeVirt, the highest maturity tier it offers, which puts the project in the same group as Kubernetes and Prometheus. It traces the project back a decade to its first commits, with Red Hat engineer Fabian Deutsch counted among the original developers and still active as a maintainer. The article frames the graduation as a shared achievement for Red Hat and the wider open source contributors behind the project, and begins to explain how running virtual machines and containers on one platform was a problem before KubeVirt existed.
