📚 Glossary & concepts

macvtap gives a VM its own MAC — but is NOT officially supported in OpenShift Virtualization. The correct approach is OVN-K localnet.

A PVC stays deliberately 'Pending' until a pod/VM actually uses it — not an error!

Declarative node network configuration via the Kubernetes API — instead of manual nmcli commands.

OpenShift's default network plugin uses an OVS bridge (br-ex) that takes over the physical NIC.

No — only the API server (with the KubeVirt/on-prem provider) needs a dedicated IP or dedicated port. OAuthServer, Konnectivity, and Ignition already share the management cluster's existing Ingress route today.
