Description:

The instruction can work only in a very specific case:

  • you set your default cluster (kubectl config use-context my-cluster)
  • the default cluster has kubevirt installed - not true for multi-cluster setup, e.g. hub and 2 managed clusters. typically the hub will be set as default since it is mostly used for managing DR
  • When kubevirt is not installed on the cluster, the commands fail in an unclear way

Other issues:

  • chmod is not needed, the install command does it

What you expected:

  • Simple instructions that work for any use case

    • Use same version of kubevirt
    • Example command for specific version of kubevirt
  • If providing an automate way (like current example), document the preconditions

    • default cluster running kubevirt

URL:
https://kubevirt.io/quickstart_minikube/#virtctl

Additional context:

For creating ramen development environment, supporting testing kubevirt vms, we install virtctl first, as a required tool, and than created the clusters and provision them using a tool. The tool will access a test vm in the cluster using virtctl to validate the deployment.

We provide our own documentation pointing to the specific kubevirt version we use:
