• Issue can be solved by manually deleting the Machine and VM resources

• Who should be responsible for deleting failed nodes in a cluster?

• Kubevirt-CCM?

• Cluster-Autoscaller?

• Kubevirt-provider for cluster api?

Zoom chat:
00:04:44 Andrew: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nE09vQWcCTW-9Ohe9oCldWrE0he-T_YFJ5D1xNzMtg4/edit

00:16:59 lyarwood: Do we really save that much as it's not going to change our compute requirements for most jobs right?

00:27:48 lyarwood: That sounds like a bug in kubevirtci tbh.

00:33:19 afrosi: I'll be interested but I'm out the rest of the week

00:33:27 Victor Toso: I'll be happy to attend DRA discussion but can't this week 0:-)

The feature is alpha still

00:33:36 xpivarc: Count me in :)

00:40:05 xpivarc: I would ask in #cluster-api-kubevirt

00:53:11 xpivarc: It will run anywhere, the control plane will be only wrapped in container, afaik

00:54:40 xpivarc: KubevirtCI is ephemeral, so no issue with lifecycle...
