Could you build this?
No Building a custom Kubernetes-native hypervisor orchestrator replacing KubeVirt and libvirt involves low-level Linux virtualization (KVM, ioctls), kernel cgroups, virtio, and custom K8s CRD controllers.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires writing a high-performance Kubernetes CRD controller in Go along with an agent daemon running on host nodes interacting directly with `/dev/kvm` and Linux kernel networking (TAP/veth/eBPF). The hardest parts are managing vCPU scheduling, VirtIO device emulation, memory hotplugging, and live VM migration entirely in userspace without relying on standard tooling like libvirt or QEMU.
