KubeVirt
KubeVirt is a CNCF incubating project that extends Kubernetes to run traditional virtual machines alongside containers. It allows users to create, manage, and run VMs using the same Kubernetes APIs and tools used for containers. KubeVirt is ideal for migrating legacy workloads to Kubernetes without requiring application rewriting.
KubeVirt publishes 8 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including StorageProfiles API, VirtualMachineInstanceMigrations API, VirtualMachineInstances API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Cloud-Native, Incubating, Kubernetes, Migration, and Virtual Machines.
The KubeVirt catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
KubeVirt’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, and 18 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration-Management Content Registries (Ansible Galaxy, Chef Supermarket) | builds-on | 51.1 | - | - |
| OpenSSF Best Practices Badge Holders | builds-on | 51.1 | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 1
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
APIs 8
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
KubeVirt StorageProfiles API
Operations for managing StorageProfile resources. StorageProfiles describe the capabilities of a StorageClass and provide default clone and access mode strategies.
KubeVirt VirtualMachineInstanceMigrations API
Operations for managing live migration of VirtualMachineInstances from one node to another without downtime.
KubeVirt VirtualMachineInstances API
Operations for managing VirtualMachineInstance (VMI) resources. A VirtualMachineInstance represents a running virtual machine and tracks its actual state.
KubeVirt VMConsole API
Subresource endpoints for accessing VM consoles via VNC, serial console, and USB redirection.
KubeVirt VMLifecycle API
Subresource operations for VM lifecycle management including start, stop, pause, unpause, restart, migrate, and adding/removing volumes.
KubeVirt Data Sources API
Operations for managing DataSource resources. A DataSource references an existing DataVolume or VolumeSnapshot as a source for cloning into new DataVolumes.
KubeVirt Data Volumes API
Operations for managing DataVolume resources. A DataVolume is a managed PersistentVolumeClaim with an integrated import/clone pipeline that automatically populates the volume fr...
KubeVirt Virtual Machines API
Operations for managing VirtualMachine (VM) resources. A VirtualMachine defines the desired state and configuration of a virtual machine, providing lifecycle management and pers...
