Replace VMware Without Compromising Your Workloads
Migrate VMs to a modern, Kubernetes-native platform. No vendor lock-in. No per-socket VMware tax.
VMware vs Kube-DC
Expensive per-socket licensing with forced upgrade cycles
Per-socket pricing starting at €0 (FREE tier) with no forced upgrades
Proprietary stack with deep vendor lock-in
Open-source foundation (KubeVirt, K3S, Kube-OVN) — full control
Separate management for VMs, containers, and networking
Unified platform: VMs, containers, and K8s in one control plane
How Kube-DC Replaces VMware
Kube-DC uses KubeVirt — a CNCF project that runs full KVM virtual machines directly on Kubernetes. Supported OS: Ubuntu 20.04/22.04/24.04, Debian, CentOS/RHEL, Fedora, Windows, and more. Zero-downtime maintenance via Live Migration. Point-in-time recovery with VM snapshots. GPU passthrough for high-performance workloads.
Full VM Lifecycle Management
Web UI & API
Full VM lifecycle management — create, start, stop, pause, snapshot, clone, migrate.
Live Migration
Move VMs between nodes with zero downtime for maintenance and load balancing.
VM Templates & Snapshots
Standardized deployments across your organization with point-in-time recovery.
Cloud-init Support
Automated VM provisioning with scripts, SSH keys, and packages.
VNC Console & SSH
Access VMs directly from your browser — VNC console and SSH terminal.
Real-time Monitoring
CPU, memory, and storage monitoring per VM with Prometheus metrics.
Unified Networking
Same networking for VMs and containers — VPC, floating IPs, load balancers via Kube-OVN.
Multi-Tenant Isolation
VMs isolated per Organization → Project namespace with RBAC.
Kubernetes Storage
PVCs, live volume resize, and snapshots via CDI for flexible storage.
