<table>
<tr>
<th>Traditional Tools</th>
<th>hyper2kvm</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

```

## Your First Migration (5 Minutes) ⏱️

### 🎬 Quick Migration Workflow

```
┌──────────────┐      ┌──────────────┐      ┌──────────────┐      ┌──────────────┐
│   Source     │      │   Convert    │      │  Offline     │      │    Boot      │
│   VMDK/OVA   │  →   │   to QCOW2   │  →   │    Fixes     │  →   │   on KVM     │
│  (VMware)    │      │   (qemu-img) │      │   (VMCraft)  │      │  (libvirt)   │
└──────────────┘      └──────────────┘      └──────────────┘      └──────────────┘
```

### 📝 Option 1: YAML Configuration (Recommended)

**Step 1:** Create `migration.yaml`

```yaml
command: local
vmdk: /vmware/windows-server.vmdk
output_dir: /kvm
to_output: windows-server.qcow2
out_format: qcow2
fstab_mode: stabilize-all    # Stabilize mount points
regen_initramfs: true         # Add VirtIO drivers
compress: true                # Save disk space
```

**Step 2:** Run migration

```bash
h2kvmctl --config migration.yaml
```

**Step 3:** Import to libvirt

```bash
virsh define /kvm/windows-server.xml
virsh start windows-server
```

### 💻 Option 2: Command Line Flags

```bash
h2kvmctl --cmd local \
    --vmdk /vmware/windows-server.vmdk \
    --output-dir /kvm \
    --to-output windows-server.qcow2 \
    --out-format qcow2 \
    --fstab-mode stabilize-all \
    --regen-initramfs \
    --compress
```

### 🚢 Option 3: Direct to Kubernetes/k3s (NEW!)

Migrate **and** deploy to Kubernetes in one command:

```bash
sudo h2kvmctl --config migration.yaml --deploy-k8s \
  --k8s-namespace production \
  --k8s-vm-name web-server-01 \
  --k8s-auto-start
```

**What happens automatically**:
1. ✅ VMDK → QCOW2 conversion with offline fixes
2. ✅ Upload to Kubernetes PVC
3. ✅ Create KubeVirt VirtualMachine resource
4. ✅ Start VM and wait for ready status

**Result**: VM running in Kubernetes/k3s with one command! 🎉

See [K8s Automated Deployment Guide](docs/guides/k8s-automated-deployment.md) for details.

**Compatibility**: OpenShift 4.10 - 4.16

**See**: [OpenShift Deployment Guide](docs/deployment/openshift-deployment-guide.md) | [OLM Bundle Guide](olm/README.md)

### Adaptive Worker System (v2.2.0) ✨ NEW

**Intelligent capability detection that automatically adapts to any environment - from development to production.**

Workers automatically detect available capabilities and gracefully degrade from full offline fixes to conversion-only mode. **Zero configuration required.**

**Three-Tier Capability Detection:**

1. **USERSPACE_ONLY** - Basic VMDK → QCOW2 conversion
   - No NBD kernel module required
   - Format conversion and compression
   - Ideal for minimal containers

2. **NBD_INSPECTION** - Conversion + Partition Inspection
   - NBD device access (k3d/kind clusters)
   - Partition table reading and filesystem detection
   - LVM metadata inspection
   - **Detected in:** Development clusters (k3d, kind)

3. **FULL_OFFLINE_FIXES** - Complete Migration
   - Full NBD partition device support
   - Mount guest filesystems
   - Update fstab, initramfs, GRUB
   - Inject virtio drivers, remove VMware tools
   - **Detected in:** Production Kubernetes clusters

**Progressive Detection Logic:**
```
NBD module available? → NBD device accessible? → Partition devices created?
    ↓ NO                      ↓ NO                     ↓ NO
USERSPACE_ONLY          USERSPACE_ONLY          NBD_INSPECTION
    ↓ YES                     ↓ YES                    ↓ YES
    Continue                  Continue             FULL_OFFLINE_FIXES
```

**User Experience:**
```
📊 Detected Capability Level: NBD_INSPECTION
   Available Operations: 10
   Limitations: 4

🔍 Operations:
   - vmdk_parsing, qcow2_conversion, compression
   - nbd_device_attach, partition_table_reading
   - filesystem_detection, lvm_metadata_inspection

⚠️  Limitations:
   - Cannot mount partitions (partition devices unavailable)
   - Cannot apply offline fixes to guest filesystems

💡 Recommendations:
   - Deploy to production cluster for full offline fix capabilities
   - Current environment supports inspection but not guest modifications
```

**Key Benefits:**
- ✅ **Zero Configuration** - Automatic capability detection
- ✅ **Graceful Degradation** - Works in any environment
- ✅ **Clear Feedback** - Informative warnings, not errors
- ✅ **Progressive Enhancement** - Uses all available capabilities
- ✅ **One Codebase** - Development to production with same image

**Tested Environments:**
- ✅ Fedora/RHEL hosts → NBD_INSPECTION
- ✅ k3d clusters → NBD_INSPECTION
- ✅ kind clusters → NBD_INSPECTION
- ✅ Production K8s → FULL_OFFLINE_FIXES (expected)

**Real-World Performance:**
```
CentOS 9 VMDK Migration (k3d cluster):
- Input: 2.2 GB VMDK
- Output: 1.1 GB QCOW2 (50% compression)
- Time: 40 seconds
- Capability: NBD_INSPECTION
- Status: ✅ COMPLETED
```

## Related Projects

### 🔍 [GuestKit](https://github.com/ssahani/guestkit)

**Pure-Rust VM disk inspection with AI-powered diagnostics**

GuestKit provides instant insight into VM disk images without booting:
- ✅ Zero-boot inspection - Analyze disks offline
- ✅ AI-powered diagnostics - Explain what's inside, what's broken, and how to fix it
- ✅ Pre-migration validation - Detect issues before migration starts
- ✅ Rust performance - Fast, safe, memory-efficient
- ✅ Complementary to hyper2kvm - Use together for comprehensive migration workflows

**Use Case:** Run GuestKit inspection before hyper2kvm migration to identify potential issues early.

```bash
# Inspect VM before migration
guestkit inspect /vms/server.vmdk --format json > inspection-report.json

# Review issues, then migrate with hyper2kvm
h2kvmctl --config migration.yaml
```
