What is VM-aware storage?

VM-aware storage is a type of storage solution designed to work seamlessly with virtual machines (VMs) for the sake of delivering the best VM performance possible.

What Is Container-native Storage?

Container-native storage refers to storage solutions that are specifically designed and optimized for containerized environments. The shift toward running stateful applications (i.e., those that maintain data or state between transactions or interactions, such as databases, message queues, or file systems), as opposed to stateless applications, has driven the demand for storage solutions capable of handling persistent data.

KubeVirt is an open source project that enables virtual machine management on Kubernetes. With KubeVirt, organizations can run traditional VM workloads, alongside containerized applications within a Kubernetes cluster. It extends the Kubernetes API by introducing additional virtualization resources of Kind ��VirtualMachine�� as CRDs.

What is VMware migration?

VMware migration is the process of moving VMs or workloads from one environment to another, leveraging VMware's suite of tools and technologies. This can be converting physical servers into VMs to reduce hardware dependency, transferring VMs between VMware environments or from VMware to alternative platforms, or moving VMs to cloud-based VMware services or other cloud providers like AWS or Azure.
