This talk explores Forklift, an open-source project designed to simplify the migration of virtual machines from traditional platforms (VMware, HyperV, OVA, oVirt, OpenStack) to Kubernetes via KubeVirt. We will hilight how collaborations with storage vendors have improved migration speeds by minimizing the need to copy VM data.

We will hilight how Forklift bypasses traditional network-heavy transfers using copy offload:
- Intra-array copying: Transfering the data within the storage array itself rather than over the network.
- Zero-copy integration: Utilizing NetApp Shift, eliminating the need to copy data altogether.

Join us to learn how these storage-level innovations are making cloud-native transitions faster and more efficient than ever (https://github.com/kubev2v/forklift).
