And now I have KubeVirt installed in my Talos cluster, with a test VM provisioned. Need to finish up some tweaks, then provision a real VM for real use. That's probably going to become a blog post (at some point). 😄
Edit: I realized I need to extend one extra VLAN into my cluster for one of the VMs. Oh boy, that's gonna be a hoot!
"Kubernetes is overkill for a Home Lab", exhibit 512 (made up number): KubeVirt tagged my nodes with 200+ tags, and that caused a metrics overload, so I had to increase the pod requests in the collectors, which increased my power usage.
Then a few days later I started getting alerts of expired certs, and realized that KubeVirt has been creating thousands of one-off certificates, but not reusing them. Increasing the certificate duration not only stopped the alerts, but also *reduced the power usage*.
All this trouble and I don't even have a single VM running yet. I hope this is all worth the trouble.
