While its still possible to run applications on bare metal, that approach doesnt fully optimize hardware utilization. With virtualization, one physical piece of hardware can be abstracted or virtualized to enable more workloads to run. The KubeVirt open-source project was started by Linux vendor Red Hat in 2016.
