# Forklift

Forklift controller.

Migrates virtual machines at scale to Kubernetes KubeVirt.
Migrations are performed in a few simple steps, first by providing source and destination credentials,
then mapping the source and destination infrastructure and creating a choreographed plan, and finally,
executing the migration effort.

## Features
- **Warm migration** using Change Block Tracking/Incremental Backup to reduce the downtime, supported in VMware and oVirt migrations.
- For VMware migrations, the Forklift uses [virt-v2v](https://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html) **guest conversions** which installs the virtio drivers and edits the guest to run on QEMU-KVM.
- Migrating to **remote clusters**, user can install the Forklift on one cluster and orchestrate other cluster to do the migration.
- Migrating VMs **between clusters** using the KubeVirt [Export API](https://kubevirt.io/user-guide/storage/export_api/).
- **Validations** of the Virtual Machines to let users know if migration would be successful.
