KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. The aim is to provide a common ground for virtualization solutions on top of Kubernetes.
At its core, KubeVirt extends Kubernetes by adding
additional virtualization resource types (especially the VM type) through
Kubernetes's Custom Resource Definitions API.
By using this mechanism, the Kubernetes API can be used to manage these VM
resources alongside all other resources Kubernetes provides.
The resources themselves are not enough to launch virtual machines. For this to happen the functionality and business logic needs to be added to the cluster. The functionality is not added to Kubernetes itself, but rather added to a Kubernetes cluster by running additional controllers and agents on an existing cluster.
The necessary controllers and agents are provided by KubeVirt.
As of today KubeVirt can be used to declaratively

If you got enough of code and want to speak to people, then you got a couple of options:
When sending patches to the project, the submitter is required to certify that they have the legal right to submit the code. This is achieved by adding a line
Signed-off-by: Real Name <email@address.com>
to the bottom of every commit message. Existence of such a line certifies that the submitter has complied with the Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1, (as defined in the file docs/developer-certificate-of-origin).
This line can be automatically added to a commit in the correct format, by using the '-s' option to 'git commit'.
