Now, KubeVirt shares perf-scale data in https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/blob/main/docs/perf-scale-benchmarks.md for end-users to review after each release. Using the techniques the community has developed, end-users and developers can gain valuable insights into how KubeVirt scales in their own data center environments. This talk will cover: - KubeVirt's benchmarks for v1.0 - v1.2 - How to leverage CI to collect and graph benchmarks for your Kube-native component - How projects in the ecosystem can use the same CRDs and controller strategies for benchmarking and scale - Share collaboration points with K8s SIG-scale - Future work planned to continually improve perf and scale for KubeVirt and K8s
