$ kubectl create -f vmi.yaml
Every VirtualMachineInstance represents a single virtual machine
instance. In general, the management of VirtualMachineInstances is
kept similar to how Pods are managed: Every VM that is defined in the
cluster is expected to be running, just like Pods. Deleting a
VirtualMachineInstance is equivalent to shutting it down, this is also
equivalent to how Pods behave.
FIXME needs to be reworked.
In order to start a VirtualMachineInstance, you just need to create a
VirtualMachineInstance object using kubectl:
$ kubectl create -f vmi.yamlVirtualMachineInstances can be listed by querying for VirtualMachineInstance objects:
$ kubectl get vmisA single VirtualMachineInstance definition can be retrieved by getting the specific VirtualMachineInstance object:
$ kubectl get vmis testvmiTo stop the VirtualMachineInstance, you just need to delete the
corresponding VirtualMachineInstance object using kubectl.
$ kubectl delete -f vmi.yaml
# OR
$ kubectl delete vmis testvmiNote: Stopping a VirtualMachineInstance implies that it will be deleted from the cluster. You will not be able to start this VirtualMachineInstance object again.
