KubeVirt Networking: How to Preserve VM IP Addresses During Migration

Organisations are re-evaluating their VM infrastructure. The economics have shifted, the tooling has matured, and the case for running two separate platforms, one for containers, one for VMs, is getting harder to justify.

Enterprise boardrooms are not debating whether to adopt agentic AI anymore. The debate has moved to a harder question: why do so many agentic deployments stall between pilot and production? ServiceNow's Enterprise AI Maturity Index 2026 puts a number to it. Most enterprises that have invested in AI tooling report that their biggest obstacle is not model quality or compute cost. It is the infrastructure that those agents are expected to operate within. The models are capable.
