Virtual Machines
You can create Linux virtual machines using one of the following methods:
-
SUSE Virtualization UI: On the Virtual Machines screen, click Create and configure the settings on each tab.
-
Kubernetes API: Create a
VirtualMachineobject. -
Harvester Terraform Provider: Define a
harvester_virtualmachineresource block.
Creating Windows virtual machines on the UI involves slightly different steps. SUSE Virtualization provides a virtual machine template named windows-iso-image-base-template that adds a volume with the Virtio drivers for Windows, which streamlines the configuration process. If you require Virtio devices but choose to not use the template, you must add your own Virtio drivers for Windows to enable correct hardware detection.
