[VEP-97] Request for 7 day feature freeze extension (Multi-Hypervisor Support VEP)

[Harshit Gupta]

Hi everyone,

I would like to request a code freeze extension of 7 days for the VEP 97, which proposes to introduce Multi-Hypervisor Support into KubeVirt.
VEP link:  VEP 97: Introduce abstraction to enable alternative hypervisors · Issue #97 · kubevirt/enhancements

The following PRs are current Ready for Review to fully decouple KubeVirt core components from KVM:

• Decouple virt-handler from KVM hypervisor by harshitgupta1337 · Pull Request #16836 · kubevirt/kubevirt
• Decouple virt-launcher from KVM hypervisor by harshitgupta1337 · Pull Request #16905 · kubevirt/kubevirt

With the above 2 PRs merged, KubeVirt would have support for addition of new hypervisor backends. The following PR adds the MSHV backend. It is in Draft state currently because it needs a rebase.
https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/16927

Thanking you,
Harshit Gupta

Thank you very much Harshit.

This is one of the largest VEPs we have for this release. Thank you, and all of the reviewers, for the work put into this.

I totally support this exception. Will do my best to review these PRs ASAP.

P.S.

Its worth mentioning that #16905 depends on #16836, that is, if someone wants to review #16905 please look only at the last 9 commits there.

Hi all,

Thanks for your support and consideration.

I would just like to clarify that after recent refactoring, the PR #16905 is no longer dependent on #16836. So they can be reviewed in parallel.

The 3rd PR (#16927) depends on the earlier two though.

Thanks for your reviews!
