Introduction

Nowadays more and more companies are moving to container-based infrastructure. But nevertheless, virtual machines hold a massive part of the market. For many projects, the transformation from VMs to containers is a slow and complicated process that cannot be performed at once or is not feasible at all. Thus the infrastructure management becomes even more challenging while running cloud-native services on container-based platforms and at the same time keeping legacy applications on VMs.

So how do we overcome such complexity? The answer is to make VMs and containers co-exist side-by-side within the same infrastructure and be orchestrated by the same platform. In this way, you can host all types of projects using a single point of management and perform transformation gradually based on the current needs and possibilities.
