What happened:

The current CentOS 9 Stream cloud images do not support UEFI boot:

$ virt-filesystems -a CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-9-latest.x86_64.qcow2 --all --long --uuid -h
Name      Type       VFS Label MBR Size Parent   UUID
/dev/sda1 filesystem xfs -     -   7.8G -        a2e35d7f-1574-4fc3-aebd-5e60991d3841

/dev/sda  device     -   -     -   10G  -        -

As such using the current centos.stream9 preference that enables efi and secureboot leads to an unbootable guest:

$ virtctl create vm --instancetype u1.medium   --preference centos.stream9 --volume-containerdisk name:centos,src:quay.io/containerdisks/centos-stream:9   --name centos | kubectl apply -f -
[..]
$ virtctl console centos
[..]
BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0001 "UEFI Misc Device" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x6)/Pci(0x0,0x0): Not Found
BdsDxe: No bootable option or device was found.
BdsDxe: Press any key to enter the Boot Manager Menu.

What you expected to happen:

efi and secureboot are not enabled within the centos.stream9 preference until UEFI boot is supported by the cloud images and associated kubevirt/containerdisks.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

As above.

$subject, this can result in unbootable guests when using BitLocker encryption.

What you expected to happen:

Persistent TPM storage to be provided by the Windows 11 and 2k22 preferences to avoid guests using BitLocker encryption becoming unbootable.

There's no coverage ensuring that the resource labels are correct at present. This could easily be added to the functest job or as a standalone static check after generation.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

The repository is making extensive use of kustomize, which at some places makes it harder than necessary to understand how everything comes together.

Describe the solution you'd like:

We should try to flatten the repo structure and avoid unnecessary deeply nested directory structures and workarounds to Kustomize's behavior where possible.

E.g. it would be nice to flatten instancetypes from this

instancetypes/cx:
1 VirtualMachineClusterInstancetype VirtualMachineInstancetype kustomization.yaml

to this:

instancetypes/cx1:
cx1.yaml sizes.yaml kustomization.yaml

Describe alternatives you've considered:
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context:
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

This class duplicates the U class with the addition of memory overcommit however the current implementation in the repo copies the entire kustomization structure. This can and should be simplified to just inherit N into O with the addition of memory covercommit.

/kind enhancement

What happened:

Using a compute or memory instance type requires a node with huge pages support, which is not a default setting, so out of the box, compute and memory instance types are unusable.

When trying to create a VM in one of these instance types, it fails with an unhelpful error that points to scheduling, but does not mention huge pages as the reason.

What you expected to happen:

Either better messaging to bring to light the lack of huge pages or another way to introduce to admins the ability to require huge pages in an instance type.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

Create a vm with compute or memory instance type on a cluster where nodes do not have huge page support.

Anything else we need to know?:

Huge pages make sense across the board for VM handling nodes, but fine tuning the number of huge pages per compute node is a per-cluster exercise, and fits better in a performance and tuning guide than a default.

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?:
Currently Network (N series) and Compute Exclusive (CX series) differ by only one aspect: vNUMA:

vNUMA - Physical NUMA topology is reflected in the guest in order to optimize guest sided cache utilization.

However the network use case also requires vNUMA for it's proper work. For example, DPDK workloads require the CPUs scheduled for the VM to be of the same NUMA node. This is currently done by using the Node Tuning Operator in order to enforce "single-numa-topology".
Please consider joining these two use cases, as it can reduce your maintenance work in this project.
