Ctrl+Alt+Deploy: Windows Workloads as a Service powered by KubeVirt

During the rise of platform engineering, one kind is often scoped out: traditional Windows-based services or VMs. How is that possible?

Let's discover if KubeVirt is an option to serve platform services and possibly replace current hypervisors. "Of course!" the community shouts. KubeVirt has been stable for a while now and is used, e.g. for virtual Kubernetes workers. But one important aspect get (sometimes intentionally) ignored: most large enterprises still own Windows VMs for special services, testing, or Windows Terminal Servers.

While KubeVirt plays nicely with Linux, support for Windows has been a bit of a niche topic and wasn't in focus in the past.
This talk aims to get you up to date on the state of Windows on KubeVirt - what works and what aspects are still missing - trying to find an answer to the initial question: Is KubeVirt's support for Windows good enough to be a valid alternative to my current hypervisor or escape some cloud offerings?
