VMWARE REPLACEMENT

Replace VMware with Kube-DC Native

Run virtual machines, Kubernetes, containers, databases, GPU workloads, storage and networking on one Kubernetes-native cloud platform - on infrastructure you control.

Replace the VMware Control Plane - Not Just the Hypervisor

Kube-DC Native uses Kubernetes as the infrastructure control plane and KubeVirt for virtual machines, while adding the cloud services, networking, storage, automation and tenant operations needed to run a complete cloud.

VMware-based environment: VMware virtualization stack plus separate Kubernetes, database and cloud-service tooling
Kube-DC Native: Bare Metal to Kube-DC to VMs, Kubernetes, Containers, Databases, GPU, Storage and Networking to One Cloud Platform

A Platform Replacement - Not a VMware Clone

Moving to Kube-DC changes the infrastructure control model. VMware workloads are moved into a Kubernetes-native cloud architecture rather than reproducing every VMware component one-for-one.

Compatible VM workloads can remain virtual machines under KubeVirt - migration does not require immediate containerization or application rewrites.

One Platform for VMs and Cloud Services

Kube-DC Native provides virtual machines and managed cloud services through one platform.

Why Move Beyond VMware?

Operate VMs alongside Kubernetes, databases, GPU and container services through one platform. Use an open infrastructure foundation, reduce separate control layers and run the platform on infrastructure you control.

Move in Phases

Assess the current environment, design the Kube-DC Native target, pilot representative workloads, run both platforms in parallel, and migrate appropriate workloads by dependency and readiness.

03 - Pilot
04 - Run in Parallel
05 - Migrate by Workload

VM Migration Scope

Existing VMware VM disks may require conversion into formats supported by the Kube-DC VM import workflow, such as qcow2 or raw. Migration scope depends on guest operating system, disk format, drivers, storage, networking, application dependencies and VMware-specific integrations.

Not Ready to Replace VMware Yet?

Kube-DC can also run as a managed-services layer on top of your existing VMware infrastructure while you plan or evaluate a native transition.

Build New Infrastructure with Kube-DC Native

Deploy Kube-DC directly on bare metal and operate virtual machines, Kubernetes and managed cloud services without maintaining a separate VMware control plane.
