When you lead with “a lot of people don’t like it” when announcing a piece of software has reached 1 billion devices, you’ve been captured by the terminally online echo chamber.

Love how ONNX Runtime is taking ML models cross-platform and cross-architecture. Intel NPU? Great. NVIDIA CUDA? Sure. AMD ROCm? Gotcha. Ampere Arm CPU with 192 cores? Optimized for that too.

It works! `kubectl apply -f kali-kubevirt-vm.yaml` works! I took the upstream official kali linux qcow2 image, updated & added cloud-init packages to image and redistribute via dockerhub, then the kubevirt yaml automates the rest! I estimated 2 hours originally but this journey was so much more.

An xfce desktop for Kali Linux is open inside a KubeVirt VM accessed via Microsoft Remote Desktop, displaying a full-featured penetration testing environment. The Kali application launcher is open, showing the full tree of categorized offensive security tools from reconnaissance to exfiltration. Visible windows include a terminal running `fastfetch` that confirms the system is Kali Linux Rolling 2025.3 with XFCE and the Kali-dark theme, plus Firefox with tabs open to Exploit-DB and Kali-related resources, and a system monitor revealing active services and CPU load. The host machine runs macOS with Microsoft’s RDP app, while the VM is running remotely on a Kubernetes cluster labeled `usrbinkat-optiplexprime`.

This image confirms the success of a multi-step iterative process: after debugging boot issues and refining the image pipeline, the Kali Linux VM is now fully provisioned with a graphical desktop, xrdp access, and post-boot cloud-init configuration via a simple `kubectl apply`. The `kubevirt` panel on the left shows three additional VMs also running: Fedora, Ubuntu, and this instance of Kali. The upper terminal window (`ghostty`) displays the virtual machine list in the Kubernetes cluster, showing the Kali VM as `Running` on node `op3` with a provisioned IP address and correct phase status.

This milestone marks the completion of a working Kali Linux 2025.3 VDI image deployed entirely from a declarative KubeVirt manifest and cloud-init userdata file. The provisioning script installs XRDP, Docker, Wireshark, configures user accounts and SSH keys, and applies polkit rules for GUI tools—all automated via cloud-init and reproducible through the KMI project. The result is a turn-key, Kali workstation accessible over RDP in Kubernetes, blending offensive security workflows with cloud-native operations.
