Stage 1 Visual Learning
Stages 1A to 1H in 18 diagrams: from a VMware VM on ESXi, through a cold disk copy and conversion to QEMU/KVM, to the KubeVirt target design. The migration itself (Stage 1I) has its own visual guide below. Picture first, with optional short explanations.

Stage 1I ran a temporary target for the first migration: a single-node kubeadm cluster with KubeVirt and CDI on one AWS EC2 instance, built with Terraform. Gate I5 (final validation and controlled teardown) removed it, and Stage 1I was completed on 2026-10-01. Nothing from it is running now.
